I can confirm that the workaround method from @itsmeelisemarie is working. It downloaded all 5 of my stuck expansion packs successfully.
The process is simple:
1) Open the EA App and begin all pack downloads.
2) Open task manager and force close the EA App and any associated background processes.
3) Open Origin (you may have to redownload and install the client if EA uninstalled it for you) and log-in.
4) Now wait. Ignore the EA App popup message, it won't go away, but that doesn't matter. In the lower left-hand corner you should begin to see the Origin client downloading any pending game installations.
5) After the downloads and installs are complete, close Origin and return to the EA App and cancel any pending downloads, since the installations are already done.
@PockyRulez Thankfully this worked for me. EA app for some reason wouldn't download showtime, into the future or island paradise.
- @vertiroo Into the future wont download for me atm as well. I reinstalleld everything bar that one pack. I tried the origin solution but that didnt work for me so will have to wait till EA sorts it's life out. Why did they have to mess with origin???
