    I would suggest switching back to Origin for the time being.

    Origin download link.

    To avoid the forced migration from Origin to the EA app:

    • Press the Windows key and "R"  at the same time.
    • Copy and paste "%ProgramData%\Origin" (Without the quotes) into the new Window > hit ENTER.
    • Open the "local.xml" file in the Windows Editor

    • Add the following line at the bottom of the file.

      <Setting key="MigrationDisabled" type="1" value="true"/>

    • Save.

Hello.

There is no Logs file/folder in EA Desktop! I have the same problem and I think it is due to my 2MB/s internet connection. EA app can not perform calculations and can not estimate downloading time for 110Gb ME LE and I think it has something to do with the exception in the EA app code. I have no problem downloading DA:I, it is around 32Gb. I had no problem downloading ME LE via Origin but was forced to install EA app while the game was still downloading (downloaded 17.5 Gb). I've tried almost everything, to continue downloading in Origin Games folder, to move folder in EA Games, install/uninstall EA app, app recovery... There is Mass Effect Legendary Edition folder in EA Games folder but no ME1, ME2, ME3 subfolders. 

Thank you.

      Delete the ME1, ME2 and ME3 folders that Origin created.


      In EA app > Click on the 3 lines in the top left corner > Help > App recovery > Clear cache.


      Restart the PC > Test
