Vista Angkasa Apartment Management Office there. I've been trying to download the newest patch from this post but whenever I click on the download button it tries to load the page for a couple of minutes & then comes up with this message: The connection has timed out The server at files.bioware.com is taking too long to respond. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. I've been trying this for a couple of hours with the same response, I just wanted to bring this to someone's attention that something is wrong where the website is taking too long to respond. If there's something that can be done on my end to help it download I'm all ears, as they say.

I never was able to download the patch. I eventually got around the issue by completely uninstalling DAO and using my purchase code to download the entire game off Origin instead, which enabled me to get the patch as part of the download. I'm glad that I'm able to play it now, but it was a somewhat frustrating journey.

I would like to include, though, that I think it's far more likely this was an issue with my computer setup than anything else. It's just frustrating not knowing what I did or didn't click to set me on this path.

I spoke with an EA advisor and the customer service was excellent - we just couldn't figure it out on the spot. I made the attempt using IE11, Firefox, and Google Chrome. I had Windows Firewall and Norton Firewall and disabled both to no avail. I'm in Missouri, US.
