Titanfall 2 download stuck at 44% (Finalizing/Calculating)
Recently Titanfall 2 released its new update. When I went to download and install said update, the game download wouldn't finish. Kept giving me a game error. Clean boot, clearing my DNS, reinstalling Origin, running it as admin. Nothing worked.
So I uninstalled and tried to reinstall Titanfall 2 itself, thinking that maybe it ran into an issue while updating. Now the download won't go past 44%. 45% is what is it's "playable" at, if that's relevant at all. I've retried all those "fixes" I mentioned before. Plus I tried clearing the cache, I even tried restarting the download (canceling and redownloading). No joy. And I'm tired of having to wait through 20 gigabytes of download just to find out it's not going to work again.
What gives? I want to play my game.
P.S.: I also tried allowing Origin.exe through my firewall and Malware Anti-Bytes, both. No joy.
Update for future browsers: I decided to go full nuclear. I removed every trace of Origin from my computer, I did a clean boot and I removed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributible SP1 2010 and 2012, the ones I believe Titanfall 2 uses. Then I installed Origin on one of my other harddrives and reinstalled Titanfall 2. It worked. I don't know why it worked this time and frankly I'm not gonna reproduce this issue if I can ever help it. Hopefully this helps you.
