Alright I give up...
I'm uninstalling the game completely and reinstalling it through the EA App... Speeds are at 110 mbps.
Wow it jumped ahead for a short time, so I thought you really listened 🙌 see attachment (PC version)
Applying update just now... also slow mo.... "Patient you must learn" (who said that?)
Well I found you all here. My update for today continues to fly up to 200Mbs in a few seconds, then the download speed instantly falls off to just KBs then stops completely exactly at 207Mbs (11%). I have restarted computer, cleared the EA app cache multiple times (only advice EA provides on this), etc. Nothing is changing this. What do I do EA....
so instead of clearing the app cache again, I canceled the download when it failed and then immediately restarted the update. while still a good 40 - 50 Mbs slower than I typically can download games (including the first install of this), it seems to have broken the cycle and is working.
