Community ManagerHey Everyone,
I wanted to provide an update on this one. The team is working on an update that should help with this specific issue. There is not an ETA on when it will be pushed but it should be pushed out here soon.
We want to refrain from continuing to download Origin or modifying anything on your PC to get the game downloaded as the update can conflict with what is changed. With Origin being phased out, this is not a viable workaround for players any longer.
Once this update is pushed, you would be able to download any of the Original ME games. If for any reason after the update you are not, please let us know.
Thank you for your continued patience on this issue.
This is great news - I’ve been experiencing this issue since late last year on my old gaming PC and then all this year on my new gaming PC.
I'm looking forward to finally being able to play through the original ME1 with Bring Down the Sky and Pinnacle Station again. Very much longer and I’d be forced to go to storage to dig up the discs!
If there is a lesson here, it’s EA’s to learn: Your PC customers are fairly savvy, and if we say the boilerplate fixes aren’t working, then please believe us and begin work identifying root cause and coming up with a fix. Some us have been waiting the better part of a year to play ME1 again, and it was frustrating to have had no official acknowledgement of the issue and to be presented with the same set of ineffectual fixes over and over for months.
Thanks for finally acknowledging the issue and letting us know a fix is in the works.
