error -4:206

★★★ Newbie

does anyone know howto solve the -4:206 error?

 

I have this error when I try to download games from my origin library. this error comes up with all the games in my library.

 

I have tried adding origin to my firewall white list, disabling my firewall, uninstalling origin and reinstalling after and keeping up to beta but the error persist.

@fab87lee  Hi,

 

First off, make sure that you are running the Origin Client as administrator, so that it has sufficient rights to create folders and write files on your system partition: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-do-i-run-a-program-or-a-game-as-an-administrator/

 

Please check out this article here afterwards. We have had reports of downloads reverting when the file system for the partition is set to FAT32. This is due to a limitation, files larger than 4GB cannot be written. Read more about that here: http://help.ea.com/en/article/origin-download-stops/

 

If that isn't the issue, please try to download the game using Safe Mode Downloading. You can activate that by going to Origin > Application Settings > Advanced > Safe Mode Downloading

 

Let me know how you get on afterwards.

 

Thank you,

Nils
