I have recently purchased the Humble Bundle and redeemed my product key for Dead Space 3 via Origin. The game downloaded and installed perfectly fine but the moment I open it and enter the game I get stuck at the title screen while the game "Scans for Downloadable Content". From here there not much I can do except Alt + F4 and force shut down the game... Somebody please help me

Same problem here! The game and Origin are on the same drive.

Edit: Reinstalling Origin solved the problem. The Origin is in folder I:\Origin, games are in I:\Origin\Games

So here is the problem + Solution:
I bought the Dead Space 3 trough Humble Bundle. When I downloaded the game, and started, it stucked at Please Wait, Scanning for Downloadable content.

I've googeled it, and found some solutions like, delete the Origin, put the game to the same drive etc... None of them worked, so I connected the EA support. They were very friendly, and tried to help.

Solution:

1. Some files in the windows temp can cause the problem:

• In start menu type %temp% to search for programs, and press enter.
• Delete everything from that folder. If you can't delete some files, don't worry, just press skip. 
• Try the game.

2. Allow some ports for Origin:
The steps are here:

• https://help.ea.com/article/connection-issues-with-origin

3. Add Origin and the game to your firewall.

4. Try to run the Repair installed game:

• Start the origin in Administrator Mode.
• Right click the game, and press Repair Installed Game.
• Try to play the Game.

I've made these steps, and now DS 3 works perfect.
