    If NFS The Run is stuck at "Ready to Install":

     

    You should not see a "ready to install" button during the normal game download flow in Origin.

    1. Head to your game download folder. If it is the default one it should look likeFind Need for Speed the Run.exe.
      • C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed The Run Limited Edition
    2. If it looks instead like Need for Speed the Run.exe_DiP_STAGED, remove the _DiP_STAGED part from the game .exe 

    3. You should now be able to install NFS The Run without getting stuck.
