Same issue for me, I get the hiccup error when attempting to download A Way Out.  Tried using the Apex Legends download work around...same error message for that as well.  Looks like none of the solutions work for me.

    Possibly found the solution. Completely close the EA app. Then in windows go to "services" in windows explorer. Scroll down to "EABackgroundService". Right click and select "restart". Then reopen your EA app and try to install the game. Personally I changed the filepath on the download, but I don't think this is required.
