I hit download and it just says preparing for about 10 minutes then cancels the download. I meet all the system requirements and I have the disk space so idk what’s the problem. If I can’t fix it I want a refund
Hi all,
Could you please perform an EA app recovery to see if that fixes the issue?
Also, please make sure that you have plenty of hard drive storage available, as discussed here.

Performing the EA app recovery does not fix the issue for me at least. And I have over 300 GB of storage available

I've been able to fix this
I use a network management tool (NetLimiter) to control bandwidth as I have a 40mb connection.
Apparently when I capped the connection for the "EA Background Service" to 100 kb/s (to have a stable connection during the day ) which is responsible for the downloads that would crash the program.
When i removed this download cap the application works as intended.

EA just sent me an email for my support request closed and the issue was resolved when the game still doesn't download download and i haven't received any other information from them in the past 3 days. It feels like they don't want to help me really.

Same here! My problem is somehow resolved now they say. I believe that their customer support just wants to close the open tickets (which is extremely infuriating).
