@EA_Darko I'm getting this too. It's the same thing in Admin mode.

Sometimes it would not recognize that I have the game downloaded and I get a prompt to download. I can start the download and point to the same directory. it seems to recognize the game is installed but the Download manager just keeps saying "Calculating".

    Hey @Koroxis, can you ensure that you are running Origin as administrator and that your firewall and anti-virus are not blocking Origin and that you also have the ports for Origin open.

    The ports to open are:

    • TCP: 80; 443; 9960-9969; 1024-1124; 3216; 18000; 18120; 18060; 27900; 28910; 29900
    • UDP: 1024-1124; 18000; 29900

    You can also try turning off the routers firewall to see if it helps.

      @EA_Darko This is on EA Desktop actually. I just searched for the issue and this thread came up. I let EA Desktop and EA Background Service to bypass the firewall but the same issue is showing up.

      It was working fine before so I don't know what changed to make this happen.

      Also, if I restart EA Desktop, then I get the "Preparing" to download, but if I restart again it goes back to "Loading".
