I started downloading BF1 this afternoon, but the download speeds are SO BAD, I am using EA Desktop by the way. Origin does the same. I have a 25mbps connection(3MB/S), I dont know WHY but the speeds fluctuate from 1,50MB/s(megabytes, not megabits) to 2,60MB/s Other apps download fine at full speed but EA Desktop is like, no. And yes, i have closed apps that may be downloading. I also checked my wifi router, and saw no data usage from other devices. Help ME PLEASE!

Hey, @d3luxyy 

It might be a program running in the background causing the download to slow down. Can you try a clean boot and then immediately launch EA Desktop as administrator? Let me know if you see any changes.

Any fixes yet?

Not sure why this new launcher has the exact same problems as Origin. I thought it was supposed to be an upgrade not a sidestep. On steam/epic/uplay you name it I get 30-45mb/s. "EA Desktop" caps at 8.0 and inconsistently at that. Just a shockingly, confusing shame as to why this is a problem.

@EA_Darko so do you have any solutions for EA Desktop App because my credit card was just charged for EA Play Annual but the first game I tried downloading isn't downloading. Need for Speed: Heat

Hey @KESZIEKESZIE what is happening when you try to play the game, are you seeing an error message of any kind?

The download speed whenever I download a game is incredibly slow. It's capped around 7-10 MB/s, I tried everything, from open UDP and TCP ports, make a clean boot and formatted my OS.

SLOW DOWNLOAD

I used NordVPN to go to a different country and now its super fast downloading. From 128 KB/s to 10MB/s.

I even tried the clear Origin cache and dns and restart networkign and rebooting, none of those fixed it.
