Garden Warfare 2 not downloading on EA App

Garden Warfare 2 is downloading and installing on Origin but not on EA app. The download doesn't even start and is stuck on preparing in EA App.

The Garden Warfare 2 is not downloading in EA App. The EA App is stating this error-:

Unable to Install
There was a slight hiccup and we couldn't finish installing Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2. Restart your PC and try again.

I tried several methods in administrator mode but none of them worked. The methods I used number-wise are-:

1.) Firstly, I downloaded the game normally in administrator mode.

2.) I tried to download in administrator mode after restarting the windows.

3.) I tried to download after changing the install location from D drive to main drive that is C drive.

4.) I tried to download after uninstalling and installing EA App.

5.) I tried to download after clearing cache of EA App from App Recovery.

6.) I tried to download after restarting again.

7.) I tried to download after changing the install location from D drive to C drive in EA App as both administrator and non-administrator mode.

I usually used D drive for install location except where I mentioned that I used C drive. The install location used in C drive is C:\Program Files\EA Games\ and the install location used in D drive is D:\Program Files\EA Games\ . The Program Files and EA Games folder in D drive is created manually. The C drive is the main drive.

I tried only the first, second and third methods before downloading and installing on origin, to download and install in EA App. The other methods, I mentioned is used in EA App, after installing Garden Warfare 2 in Origin. I also tried all of the methods in EA App by running EA App as administrator except when I mentioned I tried non-administrator mode as well.

The specifications of my laptop is-:

Processor-: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx 2.10 GHz

  • This issue has resolved now. Maybe it resolved after clearing the cache and when origin started checking files of game. I didn't checked by running EA app after origin checked files of game. So maybe it could be possibly fixed because of it or maybe this issue was fixed by EA.
