I can't help but notice that I updated the EA app earlier and now it's magically doing this. Many of these replies are from yesterday. Is it possible it's a problem on the EA server's end?
When I open the app, I get told "Couldn't connect to servers." When I go offline, and then go online again, I get the EC:105. Restart the app. Process begins again.
I wanted to play dead space remake using epic game store but i needed ea's app so i downloaded it, after finishing installation i launched it, got the 'look at that your back online' message then 'restart the app to access online features' with the error code 105
so i tried the solution of clicking 'repair' in the install process and it didnt work, rebooted computer, closed programs in taskbar, closed process in task manager, nothing worked
Im 35 years old and ive never had a bug like this in my life that i just cant fix
Now im unable to play my game because of ea tech team's incompetence.
I feel so mad!
Community ManagerHi everyone,
If you're still experiencing the EC:105 error in the EA app, please provide an EA app Error Reporter ID here in the thread.
Thank you.
I see that this is an old error, and I used to get it a lot with my old antivirus software. I changed the antivirus software ages ago and everything has worked brilliantly until now, before you ask, I have checked my antivirus software for changes to accessibility. I have restarted the app, cleared cache, scanned my pc, cleared game cache, basically have done everything a general user should (or one who knows how to search for fixes even though they are not an IT professional). Sims 4 player here and the Gallery access has gone to S##T.
I resolved it by going back into windowed screen instead of full screen. A bit gutted as the last Sims 4 patch enabled DX11 users to return to full screen and use the window's button to minimise. At least the EA App no longer crashes in the background and I can access the gallery once more.
I just started getting this error was well in 2025. The only time I ever get it is when I open the gallery - so annoying since I was JUST starting a new legacy and want to fill the empty lots. Guess my Sim will have to meet the OG townies until they actually fix this.
