Hey,

Thanks for letting us know - that's good feedback and I will forward that so we can investigate on improving that function.

Kind regards,

Or you could change the download folder to where the games already are. I think if you were to move the game it wouldn't be on your external HD anymore. I'm not sure though I don't know if I read your answer right.

Nope definately sure it's not verifying it doesn't take 5 days and a lot of Internet to verify files.
For other games like mass effect 2 an fifa 17demo it verifies files an it's done. But for this specific game I always have to download it again.

@Straatford87 you might be able to help me here. So I'm trying to download The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs Expansion pack, it says I have it, but it tells me to download it, so it hasn't installed. I've tried everything the people on Chat have told me to and nothing has worked. I know there are heaps more people having this problem as well, but I was hoping you might have some ideas on how to download it. I didn't preorder it or anything, I got it after it came out. Please help us.

Thank you.

Hi my nameis bethany and I’m new on here and wanted to make some friends

What about an option to change language without redownloading the whole game?

Just like Steam, Origin could download missing required language files only.

It's not a single button as you're referring to, but this option is already present in Origin. Depending on the game, you can:

1. Go to the Extra Content menu and download a language pack
2. Right-click the game and select Game Properties -> Advanced Launch Options to select your game language

If there's any feedback you have on those options, then feel free to share that here as well

Kind regards,

definitely isn't improved, in fact it's worse. Trying to download battlefront 2 and its saying it'll take 24 hours. I've been installing for about an hour and I'm only at one percent. I know it isn't my internet because I've downloaded games roughly the size of Battlefront 2 in 2-3 hours
