Unfortunately Origin usually shows Downloading although the game is installing from disc. Do not let this confuse you. It is important to start the installation process from DVD and not by clicking Download on Origin. If you do that, the game will be downloaded despite you having the DVD in your drive. Jun 05, 2017 EA Origin says my download is in queue but there's no download. ME1 it, reads 'Download In Queue', aren't I supposed to see some kind of prompt to 'Save As' or a meter indicating my download progress? I checked my game folder where the game is supposed to install and there's nothing there. What am I missing?
Disappointed with “The Sims 4?” You can return the game for a full refund through EA and Origin’s Great Game Guarantee, as long as your purchase meets a few requirements.
“The Sims 4” launched a week ago for the PC, and fans of the popular life simulation series have been more than vocal about the number of flaws in the title, from the game “being boring” to several missing key features, such as the toddler stage of life, dishwashers and swimming pools.
Critics also say they're lukewarm about “The Sims 4.” Game Informer scored the title 6.75 out of 10, and the Escapist called the game 'basically ‘The Sims 3,’ but shrunken and sterile” and awarded the game 2.5 out of 5.
Players aren’t just disappointed with the game. Many are growing increasingly frustrated with developer and publisher Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA), whose subsidiary company, EA Maxis, developed the title along with Sims Studio, another division of EA.
Last year, EA received criticism after launching first-person shooter “Battlefield 4” Oct. 29. Though the game received a number of positive reviews, it also became known for its plethora of bugs and glitches, even several months after its initial launch.
“The real disappointment here is how people continue to hand EA money hand over fist time and time again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 18,489,345 times ... It's amazing how they can make such an enormous profit by churning out garbage. I guess that's what the ‘art’ in Electronic Arts is. Continually parting idiots from their money by selling them a heap of garbage is indeed an art,” an anonymous Reddit user said.
Another user voiced agreement.
“They keep peddling out s--- but people are so incredibly dumb that they keep buying it. Would they ever do these obvious cash grabs if no one bought them? Of course not, but people are just that dumb,” forum member flamuchz said.
If you’re dissatisfied with your experience with “The Sims 4,” Origin does offer a return policy, a program called the Great Game Guarantee.
“We stand by our games. If you’re not completely satisfied with your digital download purchase from Origin, you can return it,” Origin says on its return policy page. “When you play a game for the first time, you expect it to rock -- to be worth every nickel you spent on it. We expect that, too.”
The rules on returning the game are somewhat stringent. When you download an EA game from Origin, you can return it only within 24 hours after you first launch the game, within one week from your purchase date or within one week from the game’s release date if you pre-ordered the title. To see if you’re eligible for a refund, check here.
Use this page to submit a refund request. You can check on the status of your request by viewing your order history on the order summary page.
Origin and EA warn all downloadable content and non-EA games are not included in the Great Game Guarantee. You can see more of the program’s policy here.

Origin Says Download In Progress For Windows 10
Syndicate - Install in Progress
Origin Says Download In Progress For Students
Hey all. I've been looking around for this issue but found only threads related to Black Flag. My copy of Syndicate (PSN digital) seems to be dead set on not letting me play it. I just finished the introduction and hopped the train to the big apple. Just as the cutscene seemed to be concluding, I got a loading screen. Figured no big deal, maybe I nudged the controller or something. However, I'm now stuck with a small 'Install in progress, _% completed. Hold O to return to the title menu.' I figured okay, games gotta finish installing. I have been at this stage for an hour now. It started at 2%. Then went to 3% following a system restart. After giving it some time while I did something on another video mode, I went back to find it at 0%. Since the 0%, over the course of maybe 5-10 minutes, it finally reached 1%. Does anyone have any clue just what's going on? Can't be a disc error. It's a digital copy. I waited for it to be properly initialized before trying to fire it up. I was very excited about this game, and now I can't seem to play it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
