Re: EA Desktop Crash on App Launch
Restarting my machine fixed the issue. It should be noted, there was no prompt suggesting restart after installation. The installer attempted to call the executable directly after installation and had the same error noted in the original post.
Also, in the bug report linked, there is an additional issue listed with the character counter for the bug reporter.
Best of luck guys, I really want this to take off and replace Origin 🙂
