This sounds like an issue related to your VPN,
Have you tried switching VPN server and/or tried to change vpn services?

    @twilightkeyMe? I use VPN more or less 24/7 and i have had 0 issues nor crashes with ea app. Sounds like it might be an issue related to your VPN provider/their software, could be time to change provide?

    Edit:
    Just tried.
    Did the following with my VPN up and running.

    Launched EA App.
    Logged in to the EA App.
    Downloaded a game on the EA App.
    Launched a game.


    Had 0 crasches, 0 errors, and 0 issues.

    So with this said,
    The issue might be with your VPN Providers software, servers and service.

        @iamfifa20player I'm using Mullvad and i even tried with ivpn and had no issues. Are you using a "unknown" brand or a famous?
        Have you tried hooking the vpn up using WireGuard, OpenVPN Or by adding a VPN connection profile on your windows? (Settings > Network & Internet > VPN > Add a VPN connection

      @EzyHawk Ive been finally able to resolve my issues with EA app that i had for several months popping errors seconds after i launched it...i was unable to play any games. Now i know that something in this crappy EA app is interfering with my CyberGhost VPN. A VPN that no other gaming app has any problem with (steam, epic games, battle.net). This is clearly issue with this unfinished app and EA obviously gives a sh*t about it. Disgusting

        @Smelly_C🤭ck I also use Cyberghost, I just bought Mass Effect LE via Steam and of course EA app refuses to work when i'm connected via VPN. It's already a pain in the * to have to play through 2 DRM... I'm pissed. What solution did you find please?
