hello so i have a problem with downloading super mega baseball 4. when i download it, it always stuck on preparing game download progress on 14% > then showing pop up "couldnt download this game" and its looping like that. pic shown below
i already downloaded many games like NFS unbound, dragon age inquisition, FC 24, NFL 24 it works fine

Hi @rizafahm1,
I'm sorry to hear your download is stuck and thanks for providing the steps you tried so far.
Could you please try to:
Run the EA app as administrator- Close the EA app.
- Right-click the EA app icon on your desktop (or in the EA app directory) and select Run As Administrator.
If that doesn’t work, try moving the file location while you’re running the EA app as an administrator.
- Go to C:\Program Files\EA Games and temporarily move the folder for the game to a different place.
- Go to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop.
- Right-click on EADesktop.exe.
- Choose Run as Administrator.
- Start the download and pause it after 30 seconds.
- In C:\Program Files\EA Games, copy the content of the old folder for the game into the new folder for the game.
- Resume the download.
User Access Control (UAC) is a Windows security feature that helps protect your device by preventing applications from gaining Administrator access to your operating system.
Re-enable UAC as soon as you’re finished troubleshooting.
Learn how to adjust the protection level in your User Access Control settings on PC.
In case the problem persists, try selecting a different folder to install this game.
I hope this helps,
