Yet ANOTHER EA APP Issue - Oh LAWD!!!
Greetings - I tend to not say too much because it interferes with my inner peace. However, this one needs my voice. This is something that has been happening recently that also needs to be fixed. Time Limit Controls: My "Playtime Controls" are set to Unlimited for both Weekdays and Weekends. Also, My internet is unlimited so there are no issues on that front. In addition, my son is a grown adult and does not play any EA games (i.e. Family Playtime is of no consequence and never used.) I am a grown adult. I set the EA App and Game to settings that suit my gameplay. I do not need anyone to tell me "it's time to stop playing so we're going to exit you out of your game." As an adult well within in her 60s, this is an insult to my intelligence and independence. My parents are both dead. (I took care of my mother until she passed away.) My grandparents are all dead. I've lived outside of my parents home for over 45 years, meeting my own obligations without one iota of assistance from EA/MAXIS. Now, if EA/MAXIS wants to make those types of decision as it relates to my time, than I will happily accept a monthly check in the amount of $5,000 to cover my bills and expenses. (Ha, ha, ha. I'm actually not for sale.) Seriously, EA/MAXIS, please don't confuse adults with children who should not be playing this adult game in the first place. EA/MAXIS knows who is under 18 and who is not. No adult should be treated as a child because children are present. Adults do not need EA/MAXIS supervision. At least I do not. I was raised me well. Hopefully this too, will find it's way to being fixed. (Yet I hold out very little hope.)
Please bring EA to cromebooks
Hi! I love The Sims 4 and used to play it on Windows, but I now have a Chromebook for school. A ChromeOS version or official cloud-play option would help a lot of students who can’t use Windows or Mac. I know I’m not the only one who’d play if it were available. Thanks for listening!
Option in App settings to not minimize the App after game launch
I have 3 Monitor and I like to have the EA app open on one of them so I can see my friends list. I would like to see an option in the EA App settings that I can toggle so it does not minimize the EA App every time I launch a game. Best RegardsEA has got to be the worst game launcher to exist
I’ve been playing on EA for a couple months now and I get trouble after trouble continuously. From Anti-Cheat failed updates and me having to do them manually, to constant sign outs, to failed game launches, and all the way to one of my game’s progress reset. I sometimes get errors saying that the game is downloaded in my device but belongs to another user so I can’t launch the game??? Or when it logs me off the account and I plug in my credentials it says that it either doesn’t match or it’s expired, when it in fact hasn’t. EA has to fix all of the above issues. When I apply for support, it literally doesn’t help at all. Please do something about it. If you’ve read all my rant about EA, thank you for ur time. I’m genuinely pissed off
Allow EA app to stay logged in on multiple computers
I use EA app on multiple computers depending on where I'm at, it constantly forces me to offline mode. It's annoying and causes me issues. If you don't want multiple launches of game at once, do it on a game app level. Don't force the whole launcher app to go offline when at another computer
"You don't have access" error - unable to play purchased game
Leaving this here in the feedback section as I have already requested help for this issue from EA support and have been unable to reach a resolution. I recently tried to download and install The Sims: Medieval from my EA Play library. This is a game that I purchased almost 15 years ago and originally redeemed and installed on my Origin account before the migration over to the new app. Upon trying to download it, I recieved the following error: "You don't have access. We've cancelled the download because you don't own this game. To play, go to the Game Hub to get the game." This is despite the fact that the game is listed in my library and my app itself states "Standard Edition owned" - how can I not own the game when the app is telling me I own it? I spoke to support and was told that despite still having my original disc, case and redemption code - which the support agent confirmed was indeed linked to my account - they would be unable to give me access to the game and I would have to contact the original retailer for proof of purchase. After so many years, do they really think this is a reasonable request to make? The retailer I purchased from no longer exists. Surely the fact that I still have my physical copy should be proof enough? I'm really disappointed and frankly angry about this and will be taking it further. Just wanted to put this out here for anyone else who is having a similar issue. Even if you own a physical copy of a game, don't expect them to honour your purchase.
Thank You and Appreciation to EA Sports Support Team
Dear EA Sports Support Team, I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for your prompt response and professional support. I am pleased to confirm that my issue has been successfully resolved thanks to your efforts. I highly recommend other players to share their feedback and issues with the support team, as the assistance provided is truly reliable and helpful. Kind regards, Emran Adam (Abo-Shums)
How to Keep God-Awful EA app from running in the background.
Essentially the title. I had redownloaded EA Play in order to play BF1/5 again, and I've noticed the toggle switch to stop the app from parasitically consuming my PC's resources is gone. Is there a way to stop EAPlay from staying open/running in the background, or is it worth just uninstalling the app and never touching it again?Trouble entering the game
Hi EAI just bought the game FIFA 26 and I have a problem. I just can’t enter the game. I bought it yesterday. I have been EA for a long time. I just need help. When I go to enter the game, it shows me that I have trouble in an Internet connection, but I don’t have at all. I think I have problem in in the game. I just need help. Send me email. mailto:Sh0506456462@gmail
Old Sims 3 games
So I will just never be able to use/play MY purchased games from YEARS ago because I can't remember the login to a dead acc?? Even if I provided all owned game codes, why can't I just get the 1st letter of the email those codes were redeemed on? Like come on, we were kids then! I would love to play my games again on my new acc without having to purchase them all again. This has been an ongoing battle for folks for a while now. There should be another way!
EA Client - Location already installed game
Hi, can you please add game localization to the client after 20 years? I don't know why this feature hasn't been included for a long time, if you don't have enough money for it, or your programmers don't know how to do it, ask how to program it for example in battlenet. I don't know why players, when they're already paying you for games, should still have to do **bleep** with installing games. Very angry user already.Such a bad game
I dont understand what ea are trying to do with these games these days fc26 is without a doubt the worst game I've ever played you cant even chill on sqaud battles anymore because the game literally will not let you tackle the game intercepts every single pass you can hardly take players on because they know what your going to do before you even do the game won't let you win headers and if you do its never a good pass to your player unless its 4 or 5 nil then you will win them all the game purposely alters your shots for no reason you can score a great finish with power curling it in top corner but do the same shot 30seconds later and there will be no power at all and the keeper saves it from a few yards away why am I paying nearly 100 pound for a game that doesn't even work or do what I ask this is definitely the year I'm gone from this game because this is going to far its supposed to be a game not something you have to think about not playing because you already know its gunna send you crazy what's the point anymore ea dont listen to anyone never help and only blame their players
No option to invite friends and recent players
Please introduce an option to invite recently played with player and invite friends, its a bit naff. The only way to invite a friend is to invite to party....okay but if one of the party leaves a game lobby you can't invite back as they are still in the party but not the game lobby. So they need to leave party and be re-invited. Also no join player/party option.FIXED: “Preparing Game” Loop When Launching Sims 4 (EA App / Steam)
FIXED: “Preparing Game” Loop When Launching Sims 4 (EA App / Steam) I want to share this because I spent days troubleshooting this issue and the fix turned out to be simple but completely unexpected. The Symptom Whenever I tried to launch The Sims 4 through the EA App (originally bought on Steam, later reinstalled through EA), I would get the “Preparing game…” window. It would pop up, disappear, come back, disappear again, and then nothing happened. The EA App would stay open on the library screen with no error message or crash report. What I Tried Here’s everything I did that did not work: Cleared the EA App cache multiple times Uninstalled and reinstalled both The Sims 4 and the EA App Verified game files Deleted AppData, Local, and ProgramData EA folders Renamed the Sims 4 folder and rebuilt everything Ran both EA App and Sims 4 as Administrator Updated GPU drivers and reinstalled AMD Adrenalin Installed chipset drivers, DirectX, and Visual C++ redistributables Checked EA Background Service (set to automatic) Rebuilt the missing Sims 4 registry key manually Checked CPU/GPU temps and fan profiles Disabled antivirus and OneDrive syncing Ran DISM and SFC scans Installed all Windows updates None of this worked. EA App kept flashing “Preparing game” twice and doing nothing. The Actual Cause A few days earlier, I had been using melonDS (a Nintendo DS emulator) to play Style Savvy. I manually changed my system date and time to unlock in-game items faster. I forgot to change it back afterward. The EA App uses your system clock to verify authentication certificates and game licenses. If your system date/time is incorrect (even by a single day), the token validation fails and the game silently aborts the launch process. That’s why it looks like it’s stuck on “Preparing game.” The Fix Open Windows Date & Time settings. Turn on Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically. Make sure your system clock shows the correct current time. Restart the EA App and launch The Sims 4 again. After fixing the date and time, The Sims 4 launched instantly with no issues. Summary If The Sims 4 or any EA App game is stuck in a “Preparing game” loop even after clearing cache, reinstalling, or repairing files, check your system clock first. The EA App will refuse to launch games if your computer’s date or time is incorrect.
