Re: EA App will not download game updates due to supposed low disk space

Same here.

I want to download the BF 2042 update.
Nearly 50 GB free storage. As soon as I have update the SSD says that there's no free storage left and the update won't start.

I had the same problem during the last update. What "solved" it was to free up as much storage space as BF 2042 takes,
just to install a 2 GB update. * EA app just doesn't work...

If you google this exact problem you can find the same * happening years ago and somehow they still haven't fixed it.

    So theres no Solution? Im in a whole different thread seeking help for this same problem.. BF 2042 came out with an updater a few days ago.. and I havent been able to download the update so I took the L to reinstall and now I cant download any game :D

  • You just need a ton of free space on your disc.
    I was able to install the update - now I'm sitting here with 157 GB free storage, but at least the update is done :D
    I needed around 75 GB to install the update, most of it was free again as soon as the update was finished.

  • Try clearing the cache in the Origin/EA app.

    In the EA app in the top left corner there's a burger menu.

    Select the last option in the "help" menu.

    If that doesn't do the trick try reinstalling the EA app.
