All games in my origin library (not just BF3) will stuck at "prepare" when I click download.
Then after a few seconds the download will pause. If I click resume download, it will repeat the aforementioned steps.
I am using the latest Origin client. Also tried on a few different computers in my house (including couple of fresh installed virtual machines) with no luck.
BTW I was able to download BF3 beta without any issues a few weeks back.
So does anybody have similar issue? I am with Slingshot.
