Re: No download button in Origin
Things to check....
1) Make sure you don't have an Anti-Virus causing issues...AVG, Avast, and even windows defender have all caused issues at one time or another. So either disable them temporarily or put in exceptions/exclusions/white list Origin and MEA.
2) Make sure you don't have any cloud backup program messing with either the install location or your mydocument/users files.
3) Check to see if your Firewall may be interfering with some of the game install or Origin validation of the install.
4) Check to see if you have any legacy installer running or another program of Origin running when it isn't supposed to...use task manager or https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer
5) Check to see(it should be but check) Origin is still set to run normally, aka as administrator and uses Win7 compatibility.
6) Odd thing to check but exit out any add on programs that use overlays or additional programs such as for keyboards, mice, game pads, or things such as teamviewer or other non-related networking programs that put in hooks to the system.
7) May not do a thing, but your bios for your mobo lists a 2010 date on it....you may want to see if you have an update available, could help performance and on a rare occasion helps for this kind of thing.
8) Is your computer hooked up to the internet by wire or wireless?? If wireless, could you run a cable directly to the modem and see if it makes a difference??
I wish you luck, as I said earlier, I like MEA, and for me, Origin has given fairly little trouble and has been fairly easy to use. Keep us posted.
