Why doesn't fifa 15 demo download work anymore?

[anthonygruit]

Hi origin,

I have a windows 10 computer.

I tried downloading the fifa 14 demo which was in "my games" since last year. however, when i tried to download fifa 15 demo, it goes to the 'my games' page but doesn't start the download. Is it too late to download fifa 15 demo or something?? Also is it at all possible to buy the full fifa 14 game anymore because it works perfectly on my pc.

thanks 

anthony

@anthonygruit Hi Anthony,

First off, the FIFA 15 demo should still be available here: https://www.origin.com/en-ie/store/free-games/demos-betas

Just mouse over the FIFA 15 demo and then click on the orange download button.

If it doesn't start the download, you might be need to make sure that you are running the Origin Client as administrator first, 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/

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

As for FIFA 14, the game is unfortunately no longer available on the Origin store. With that being said, you can still find at one of our partner retailers, such as Amazon: http://help.ea.com/en/article/where-to-buy-ea-games-v2/

Let me know how you get on.

Thank you,

Nils
