Adding my Adult Sister to my EA Family
I've spent more money on The Sims franchise than most people spend on rent. And I think I should be able to share what I paid for with my family; whether they're my children or not. I've been sharing my account with my sister for as long as I've been playing the Sims, but now if I don't want our game files mixing together, she needs her own account. Now, I'm in my 30's, and my sister is three years younger than me, which makes her unquestionably an adult. Now, I could lie and add her to the family by faking the year she was born, but there's only a five-year window before that stops working. And personally, I don't feel like having to check to make sure my sister's fake age is still within range for her to play my stuff. I've been trying to find a way to talk to an actual person through EA about this. I know that the company wants my sister to have to pay for each and every pack that she wants to play. But in my mind, why spend the money twice if someone in the family already owns what's being bought? I'm honestly willing to talk to whoever I need to in order for this to work in my favor. I'm not about to make my sister choose between college, her car, and a game. And I sure as heck can't afford to buy everything twice; I can barely afford to buy it once. So, how can I add my Adult Sister to my EA Family so I don't have to deal with this? I've heard through the grapevine that she has to "purchase" two games before we can sync. Does it have to be a purchase of a certain amount, or can I just download the base game and Grims Guitar and call it a day? Is this even true?Solved453Views0likes2CommentsStar wars does not start in Steam via EA
I bought Star Wars Battlefront II in steam, but I needed to download EA, and for some reason when I click the play button in steam, the game doesn't start and nothing happens at all, and in EA itself I didn't even know where to launch it, I stupidly don't have this function.7Views0likes0CommentsConcerns Regarding EA App and Javalin AC
Hi Guys, I have some concerns relating to the security of the "EA App" including: EA Desktop, EA LocalHost, EA BackgroundService, EACefSubProcess, and EA AntiCheat. These are my concerns: Whilst playing any EA game on my desktop for this example lets say BF2042 I notice a large number of IP connections and data transfer to/from various external IP addresses unrelated to the concurrent BF2042 connections. This concerns me for more than one reason: My EA app is set to not auto update. My EA app is set to not download during gameplay. My EA app is bandwidth limited for updates. My EA app's Overlay is disabled. My EA app seems to ignore these settings and shares many MB/s of data with these external IP's during a gaming session. The external IP's do not seem to match that of the game being played, such as BF2042 I'm concerned that your APP Suite inc EAAC is insecure, as occasionally during game play my Keyboard gets disconnected, and it's only when your app and games are running, Xbox Games do not display this same behaviour and I do not use a controller for these. I'm concerned that you are using peoples available hardware resources for some kind of mining/folding/compute servicing, which would raise legitimate criminal concerns, you see if you are doing so, then you are stealing from your customers, using their hardware and costing them money (Energy Bills) for your own gain, could be considered theft in many countries. (I'm hoping this isn't the case.) The Disconnection of peripherals comes from the fact your anti-cheat uses a Kernel-Mode driver and has FullTrust access to all machines that could potentially be accessed, abused by an attacker. Your Anti-cheat service seems to update, after every Microsoft update to windows and windows security, which seems too coincidental IMO. Like you have patched Microsoft's own measures on their OS so that your Kernel-Mode driver can still have FullTrust. I could be barking up the wrong tree, but it does seem awfully suspicious that when your software is running these are the problems that I have and the pattern I see when on a gaming session.NizBotIO13 hours agoRising Rookie117Views0likes7CommentsBilled Twice, No Way To Get Refund???
Does anyone know who to contact to get a refund - I was charged twice!! I did not notice till I received my bank statement, which means I was already past the "14 day guarantee." But I do not want to return a game, I just don't want to own two copies of the same digital game because their site didn't work properly. I want my money back and my case got closed with no response. Any ideas??? I don't even care if I get it back as a credit - I'd buy more games! I just want my money back.24Views0likes3CommentsINST-14-1603

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.Lyonene3 days agoSeasoned Traveler2.8KViews10likes58CommentsIs there a way to force the EA app open in offline mode?

I've just logged in to my PC after a few weeks, and I noticed that there are zero games in my EA library. I had about 6 or 7 older titles on there that are now gone. the strange thing is thought that in my update queue, it still lists complete updates for games that I no longer seemingly have. The games will launch from the installed folder on my PC, but will not show up in my library. Any advice?eb0fce6a1f90a2994 days agoSeasoned Newcomer36Views0likes3Comments- GolcuBayram4 days agoNewcomer12Views0likes1Comment
transfer a game from EA to steam
Hello, I bought Plants vs Zombies GW2 about a year ago. I now would like to transfer the game on my steam account because I find it more convenient to use only one platform to access the game. But the code of the game doesn't work and I can't find a way to resolve this. I also couldn't find a way to link my two accounts from steam though I did it from the EA platform. Thank you for your help625Views0likes2CommentsTitanfall 2 (Steam)

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!

EA advertises its products as available for offline play. But the EA launcher app requires an internet connection to authenticate before it will launch games. So fully offline play is strictly impossible. How is EA allowed to fraudulently promote their products in this way? I thought it was illegal, but maybe it’s just deceptive and anti-customer.Solvedjb0595a10 days agoRising Newcomer39Views1like1Comment
