Re: Downloading Omega, Origin Stuck At 22kb/s

Hey!

Same problem here, only with Mass Effect 1. Stuck at 22-26 kB/s.

I bought the game on Origin (very relucant, I already own a copy, but Origin won't accept my Mass Effect 1 CD-Key.), because its the only way I know to get the Pinnacle Station DLC if you haven't got it yet.

Download speeds with Steam, Youtube etc are fine, about 800kB/s. But Mass Effect has been downloading for 12 hours now and i'm at 8%.

Please do something about this, I had to buy a game I already own and now I can't even play it :-(

  • Well, I do not have an answer - but I can report that my download speed did NOT increase at any time during the download of Omega. ;(

    But thanks for the tip, I own ME1 on steam, and I wanted Pinnacle Station as well - I would have repurchased on Origin but not with this download problem. Sorry, poster, that I do not have an answer - but I can report that Origin continues to slooowly download while you play games on steam (bonus points if you are in offline mode), so hopefully that can keep you busy whilst you wait? ;(

    Cheers.

    Instead of buying ME1 again on Origin, you could have just redeemed your ME1 serial code through the special EA activation-website for games before 2008 here (taken from this EA knowledge-base article). If it still doesn't show up, talk to a game advisor they can add it to your account manually when you give them the serial. Worked for me, I now have all three games on Origin without needing to buy one again. Download speed was no issue. Maybe talk to your provider, some providers have poor peerings especially when it comes to oversee-connections. Never had a speed-problem with Origin downloads.
