This is complete bs, been stuck on preparing for 12 hours now. No support from EA either, they haven't even acknowledged the issue.

try running ea as administrator and let me know if that works. Because no way i’m paying 10 more$ for this game on ea play pro. So run ea as administrator then try the download. And let me know if it works.

    @DQzz-It doesn't, I've tried it a couple times and each comes up with the same result of "preparing." Made sure to restart the app and clear cache before I did it.

        This worked for me but I didn't have the download going. It also only worked when i ran EADesktop.exe as admin. I tried EALauncher.exe first and that didn't work.
