@Ph1LDK That error in the log relates to an inability to obtain elevated rights to run the game. Are you logging in to Windows with an actual Administrator account, rather than as a standard user? If not, try doing so.
Yes, I'm the one and only local admin on my pc ;-)
Other games works well from both EA App, Origin in the past, and Xbox Game app too. Ubisoft, Steam and so on ..
Local user, local workgroup.
UAC is disabled. Why set to highest? All other games / apps work well..
No local GPO's defined, all default.
You know what... I have a few tears in my eyes now, FINALY WORKING!!! Totally nostalic, awesome intro etc. YES BABY!
UAC -> High -> Reboot
EA App required relogin and added games from now. Then it started in first attemp.
Hours, and hours spend... I really wanted it to work, now it WORKS!
THANKS <3
For me, it does work if I log into Windows 11 using the admin account. It does not work with my user account, even if I start EA as admin. Interestingly, when I start it as admin, EA shows up as my normal user in the task manager. I also started task manager as admin to be sure to see tasks running under admin. EADesktop runs under the normal user, and the EABackgroundService runs as system, nothing as admin.
Has anybody have any success actually running EA as admin while being logged into Windows with a standard user?
I still don't get why so many software developers fail to get their software running under a normal windows user account - especially big developers like EA. After all, this is the recommended setup - you should only use the admin account to do "admin stuff". Maybe they are stuck in the 90ties, dreaming of the "good" old simple times?
@spitfire_ch I'm thinking that just like MS store apps can't be run as admin, the EA app is probably the same. Feels like this issue is probably going to remain until EA fix it their side.
@spitfire_ch Oh indeed, completely agree and the EA App leaves a lot to be desired!
