Thank you!!!

 

I just got Origin Access for the early Mass Effect: Andromeda trial and figured since I had OA now, I might as well take advantage of it. So I snagged Mirror's Edge: Catalyst and Dragon Age: Inquisition, but immediately got stuck in the download with Catalyst. Your solution here solved my problem on the first go. Thank you SO much for posting it. You saved me god only knows how much time and tech rage. Standard smile

Re: Origin stuck on "resuming download" on titanfall. Can't update BF4

★★★ Newbie

Worth noting that you'll have to re-download the entire game.

 For me it just was stuck on resuming, then after that I exited then opened up origin and it only skipped to 16%

Did you let it resume all they way or did you stop it mid way?

 

the reason it sits on resuming for the longest time is because its verifying all the files before it starts again just like wen you install  a game on steam that you already have the files for it searches through the existing files to see if anything is missing. origin does this but not as obviously

 

also if the resume puts you to only 18% it means ether your original game files are corrupt or there are updates to the game that origin is installing

Please help. My games aren't downloading at all. They stay at download in queue and don't do anything - I've tried clearing the cache, reinstalling origin, running as admin, everything I can think of. When I clear the cache and restart my PC my game says '0% paused' and does nothing until I cancel the download. Then when I try to download it again, it reverts back to 'download in queue'. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR 4 HOURS THEY WERE WORKING YESTERDAY WHY WON'T THEY JUST DOWNLOAD AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THE DIRECTORY FILES ARE ALL FINE SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM
