Community Support

I encourage other players experiencing this exact error code to reply with their experiences. The more documented cases we have, the more likely EA is to prioritize a permanent solution. It seems like some specific software does not play nice but i do not have any of the known culprits installed and should have remedied this with the clean install.

Error Code for reference: 1:4688822970:-4685921B

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a resolution that allows me to finally enjoy the game I purchased over a year ago.
