origin client freezing while downloading BF1

★★★ Newbie

so, the problem is, while im downloading battlefield 1, and i left my pc for 1 day, it starts at 60%, when i get back, i thought it should be at 70 or maybee 80%, but guess what? still at 63% and freezing at some speed, and when i tried to pause it, it says "pausing" and ive been waiting for an hour to pause it, i cant resume it again at some point, even i cant quit from origin. and i need to end task from task manager to close the program, what the hell is wrong with origin right now? why its so hard to download a game? this client is broken af.Struck1.PNGstuck1.PNG

Hey there @ID_WarHead555

 

- Are you running Origin with sufficient administrator rights ?

 

Here is a guidance to that: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/how-do-i-run-a-program-or-a-game-as-an-administrator/

 

- Clear the Origin's cache, then run Origin as administrator.

 

Here is a guidance to clearing Origin's cache: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/origin-my-games-list-is-blank/

 

- Try to enable Safe Mode downloading.

 

Launch Origin, click "Origin" from the top left, choose "Application settings" , click the "Diagnostics" tap from the top and turn on "Safe mode downloading" . This will slow down your download rate, but should help with your download going forward better.

 

- Force Origin to launch in R&D mode.

 

Here is a guide to that: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Origin#Origin_stops_downloading_after_an_ungiven_threshold

 

Note that you shouldn't run your Origin in R&D mode permanently. Only use it if nothing else works.

Good luck !
