Re: Redeem Code Error on Origin/PC

YES!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

as simple as that.... crazy that I have to turn off my virus protection, my firewalls, and all the other many Windows 10 security paraphenalia...just to add DLC to an already downloaded game, "doncha think?" 😃

But ...as if nothing was wrong ever, it finally downloaded NiftyKnitting!!!

I love you! Thank you so much! puzzleaddict. 🧙

    @cosmoblivion  Yes, some antivirus programs can be weird like that, and Origin does things that those apps might want to flag.  Sometimes an antivirus gets updated to block a function that it didn't before, or block it in a different way; sometimes Origin adds a new functionality that it didn't have before, and the antivirus flags it.  It's often difficult to tell.

    Anyway, I'm glad this got sorted out, and now you know what to test if you ever run into the same problem again.
