Xbox app linked to someone elses EA account
This is beyond **bleep**. So here is what happened: Got Xbox gamerpass. Long time ago, I went to install the Command and Conquer Remastered game, and so when I went to install, it had me download the EA app and it automatically logged me into some other persons EA account. How? I have no clue. Neither does EA. Neither does Microsoft. Fast forward many months later, still happening so I decide to do something about it. I had full control of this other persons account, so I contact EA and let them know whats going on, and I wanted this other person to have their account back. I assumed this would be the end of it. Fast forward a few more months (today), and same thing, Xbox is logging me into a different persons EA account. So I contact Microsoft, and let them know whats going on, and they swiftly tell me its an EA problem, nothing they can do. So I contact EA today, give them the whole story, they inform me its a Microsoft problem, they cant do anything about it. So after going round and round, they tell me to just unlink the Xbox account, but I keep telling them, there is no option to do so. There is no button to unlink, only buttons TO LINK other platforms. So they say "welp, nothing can be done. Try posting in the forum". So I did. And I cant imagine anyone here can do anything. Anyone else experience this? Super bizarre, but sure seems like it should be a simple "Oh, you got access to someone elses account, thats no good. Let me unlink that so you can just link your own account." But no, that would make too much sense. Thanks for listening...sikmusicfreak813 hours agoNewcomer11Views0likes0CommentsHow do I change the SECOND player name on my account???
in the EA app, my profile shows two names: One that is displayed in games, and a similar secondary name underneath - I haven't used that name in years and would like to change it. To be patently clear, I am talking about the name that I've mostly covered in this screenshot: There does not appear to be a setting for it anywhere in the options visible when I click "manage" and literally none of my accounts use the name that is listed there, so I really don't know why this is on my account at all, as it wasn't even the first name the account has had. I'd like to be able to change or even remove this entirely.Solved1.1KViews0likes3CommentsHello.

I have recently installed the EA app, as was recommended. Before with the Origin app I could choose the play offline, but now that is not possible anymore. My internet is currently down. I cannot open the Sims without opening the EA app, and the EA app does not work offline. Is there any way to solve this or to bypass the EA app?88KViews20likes53CommentsUnable to redeem games with Vanilla Gift Card
The title says it all. I was given a vanilla gift card for Valentine's Day, to buy games. I figured I could use up the money on the card and split the payment with another card on file to purchase multiple games. Unfortunately, I am unable to link the card to my account, so I tried looking for an online EA gift card purchase screen so I can use the gift card to buy that, but again, no luck. Is this gift card essentially useless when it comes to EA?VioletRoseSimmer2 days agoSeasoned Newcomer7Views0likes2Comments- irosim3 days agoSeasoned Newcomer55Views0likes7Comments
How To Remove A Game From the EA APP
So Apex Legends was randomly added to my EA APP and I absolutely do not want it on my app. I never chose it. I want to be able to delete it and just have my sims game in there. How do I remove it? Not uninstall (like the useless ea help bot said) but remove it.LoptsEldr4 days agoRising Rookie17Views0likes1CommentLogin to EA App
Hello, Dear EA I would like to ask if there is a possibility to add QR code when you are logging in like it is on Steam. We have times where almost everyone got QR Code scanners in their smartphones so you won't have to make an EA Mobile or something like that, when everyone have their phone numbers connected as well so you could maybe think or you are thinking about that maybe. It would be easier to login to application it would save everyone 20-30 seconds at least. Thank you for reading that.

I was trying to get my son's Xbox account linked to an EA account so that he can access EA Play with his Gamepass subscription. During the setup process, I opened a child account using my e-mail. Problem is, when trying to log in to the desktop app with his child account, it gives an error saying that the app is unavailable at this time and requires you to log out immediately. The app works just fine while using my login credentials. My second problem is, now his Xbox account is linked to that child account so is unable to use EA Play at all. I've also found no way to edit a child account in order to unlink his Xbox from the child EA account. That account doesnt show up under my household like a teen account would. If I login to xbox and EA with my account EA Play for Gamepass through the Xbox App works great.3KViews1like7CommentsEA app - finding already installed games.
Hello. I downloaded EA app after new Windows 11 install but do not want to install BF 2042 and other games again ( I have them on second drive) Will EA app find them and only confirm files like old Origin app did or I have to install games from ZERO ?Solved120KViews10likes14CommentsWhy can't I have multiple computers logged in on the EA app?
Seriously, I am getting so so frustrated with the fact that I share my Sims game with my partner and every time we want to start the game we have to login to EA. Not just kicking the other computer off the app, but making it so the person who is currently playing and got kicked from the app has to deal with the UNCLOSEABLE pop-up. Seriously, this is an easy fix of just putting the other logged in computer in offline mode like we had with Origin.Solved14KViews8likes9CommentsWhat does repairing EA app do?

Please stop deleting/moving my post and actually help me!!!!! When I try to run The Sims 4 game, I keep getting this message. "The app couldn't read the game's license file, so If the problem continues, try clearing your cache." I have been having this problem since the last EA App update. I can run other games with the app. It seems only The Sims 4 is affected. I have cleared the cache several times as suggested. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the EA App, as well as launching the EAUpdater.exe. I did the repair game option a couple of times. I have disabled my anti-virus and VPN. I have tried to find any solutions on the forum, but I have only seen other players posting about having the same problem, but not getting any answers or help. I have been playing The Sims since The Sims 1 was released. I was even a beta tester of Sims Online. I have spent so much time and money on this game and I feel like I'm just being left out in the cold. EA just wants my money, but can't be bothered to help when they break the game.Lyonene5 days agoRising Traveler2.4KViews8likes39CommentsWhy does the EA app display "Games have been removed from your library"?
Hey everyone, Thank you all for expressing your concerns about the "Games have been removed from your library" notification in the EA app (see below). We want to assure you that this feature is often* functioning as intended. Its recent implementation aims to reduce the number of inquiries about missing games or DLCs and provide clarity on why such items have been removed from your library. By clicking on the "VIEW DETAILS" button on the right side of the message, you can see a list of all the games that have been removed and the respective reasons for their removal. *It's important to understand that this scenario can also be triggered by a valid, temporary issue. When or if this happens, we will confirm this in the thread. Please see the 'Resolved TEMPORARY Outages Resulting in the Same Error' section below for further details. These reasons may include, but are not limited to: Expiration of an EA Play membership, Sunset of games due to discontinued online services, Removal of games due to fraudulent activities, And more. Often, the message providing the reason for removal includes a link to an EA Help article explaining the rationale behind it. For sunset games, please see our EA Help article about older EA games that aren't available. For games removed from EA Play, please see The Play List Removals. If you encounter the message "Unlisted reason" when viewing the details, it could be due to various factors, such as: The game no longer being available in EA Play, Sunset of the game, Payment issues, Problems with your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (XGPU) x EA Play connection (if you use this), Voluntary removal by the account holder or parent, Billing issues, Or self-removal of the game from the account when it was previously claimed via EA Play (a feature previously available in Origin for PC but not in the EA app). We hope this information clears up any confusion you may have. If you're still unsure why certain items were removed from your account, please don't hesitate to contact our Support team via EA Help by following https://help.ea.com/help/faq/using-ea-help. They'll help explain why those items got removed or tackle any other problems you're dealing with. Take care and game on!

Hi, it's my first time posting something like this but has the GCash payment been removed from the EA app? I was hoping to buy 2 DLCs for the Sims 4 before the Spring Sale ends but I couldn't find the GCash payment method. I've been using it before, my most recent purchase was Seasons in Feb. 9 this year. I tried other non-Sims 4 games as well but it just keeps asking for credit card or Paypal. Just asking if this is a temporary or permanent thing, and if they have any plans to bring it back. Kinda sad since some of us don't use credit cards, but can pay for purchases via other methods like the Gcash I mentioned. *For reference, Gcash is a payment method used in the Philippines266Views0likes1Comment
