Thank you!  Signing out and back in helped me, too.  Went from a never-ending "Preparing" to downloaded when I re-logged back in.

dude!!!! I have been on origin trying to fix this for and hour and a half and you just solved my problem! Thx so much you just made my day!

Sign out of origin. I just had this issue but once I signed out of everything and went back on, it gave me things I had to accept before downloading and now it’s downloading very fast actually. Worth a shot.

Same. Thanks for sharing your solution.

Wondering if restarting client immediately also solves issue
