Has anyone noticed that repairing the game takes a very long time compared to how short of a time it used to take? A game repair used to take maximum 10 mins and that's with all the packs installed. As of recent, repairing the game can take 10-20 mins for just 1 pack. Multiple that by 39 packs and you can imagine how long it's taking for my game to repair. With today's patch, stating to repair the game to correct the infinite loading screens....which I'm doing & now repair is taking infinite time. What has changed and why is it taking so long? Curious to hear other Simmers experiences with Origin game repair & if there is anything that can be done to fix how long it takes.

@bixters Yes, it is very strange. My game has been repairing for almost an hour and there's still 9 more packs to repair. I usually avoid repairing the game due to how long it takes....but I have the infinite loading screen bug that came with today's patch, and the Gurus said to do a game repair to fix. Let's just say I'm not a very happy Simmer lol.

This is me soo much! It freezes about 10 packs in(about 1 hour in) and says error occurs and it moves to a next pack and then again freezes and then crashes?? this was happening since October probably earlier but only in October I needed to repair. Game and couldn’t “Me too” this if you can, try the instructions the EA mods give, haven’t worked at all for me thohttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin-Client-Web-Technical/origin-error-code-327682-12/td-p/9494460

Mine took forever when I repaired. I think it took 1hr to repair my whole game and origin was really slow so barely responded when clicking windows. I hope this is an issue that gets resolved cause I'm in the habit of repairing my game for every major patch and I don't want to regret doing so lol

Yeah repairing takes way too long, I don't know why they changed it other than maybe they are getting it ready for EA Desktop? I have no idea. Maybe @SimGuruNick or @SimQARobo can shed some light on it. I thought it was just me since having EA Desktop, but I guess not.

Yes, I also see origins very slow repair, Origin is also running my CPU at 100%, so I am reluctant to use it.

Yes, now Origin app 100% CPU usage while repairing The Sims 4. And because of this, the repair takes several hours. :(

I had this problem too: the error; the incredibly extended time it took; the neverending finalizing; CPU usage 100%; packs being reiterated in repair cue.

I tried several things, but what 'solved' it, that is, what makes the repair go through in a couple of minutes with no hickups or errors; was to shut down my computer protection completely, then repair, then start protection again. Origin is shifty..

Yes,it was crazy! I had this yesterday on my new laptop.It took as long as downloading whole pack so it took about 5 hours to all be done. And Origin was freezing and keep posting error codes.

I have not repaired in a while, but whenever I do I am in no hurry. I never checked how long it took, it would be like when backing up my game, I'll just do something else. Repairing is a major task, especially after the huge Nov 10 patch, I guess it is supposed to take a while. If the game actually gets repairs I find it worth the time it takes.
