Hallo Support,

 

I need fast help. Since today (06.12.2019) my game crashes all the time after connection to the game with the "Error reading pak file "C:\User\...\dl_mini_19_10_30.rpak" -- Error: Short read."
My Battelpass is ongoing but I cant make my missions like that.

 

I tried:

I updated my drives.

Repaired the game.

Deleted the file.

windows updates.

Disabled all overlays.

Tried a new network connection "hotspot"

 

I dont know what I can try next ..

The solution for me was:

Delete the game. Change origin language and game language to my country.

Rename the file "dl_mini_19_10_30.rpak" to "dl_mini_19_10_30old.rpak" and repair the game then.

 

The EA Support was very uncooperative and a waste of time.

Everytime I was keeped on hold.

I had to chat with four different persons who had no clue what was going on or never read the ticket or looked over the attachments.

I always asked to get please the last clerk I was communicating with but the said always this is not posible.

Two 2h chats one 3h call and another 2h call.

I was always told the experts are going look over in a few min but it never happend.

https://youtu.be/kbyw0jT9gIo please take a look how the conversation ended.

Also my questions never were answered and at the end she killed the line, even though I asked her to stay in the line.

 

 

I am very unhappy with the stability of this game, a lot of people I play with dealing with problems of crashes.

It is a good game but after such experiances I am skeptical if I am gonna continue to play it.

Relog in in origin.

Delete the file and the repair the game, until it works.

That did it for me.

Solve: just delete the file causing the error (the one mentioned in the error)
