Community ManagerHey @punkerlishus going forward you will need to use the EA app to play your EA games.
Please follow the steps to install the EA app to continue playing.

Hi Darko,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that is really not the answer I was hoping for. Sims 3 Create a World simply does not work with EA App and I also had issues with installing new games very recently. Hoping EA will fix these issues soon if we are now being forced to use EA App...
The EA App sucks *, bring back origin and get this * pop up outta the way.
@EA_Darko No, how about you make Origin optional for people instead of forcing them to use absolute, utter garbage EA App. Stop ignoring everyone hating on it, every single review I've ever seen has been profusely vomiting all over the new launcher, it's TRASH. Can't even use mods on my games anymore, it's a circus.
The Origin to EA App Upgrade does not work, it fails every time, and has now effectively denied me access to paid for Content.
I have had the exact same result on different, otherwise well specified and fully operational PCs and Laptops, and all exhibit the exact same issue.
The EA Upgrade now dominates the Origin screen, there is no workaround, and when the Install is tried, it initially downloads stuff, then always stalls at the Installation with no progress on the progress bar.
Then, after a few minutes, it always stops and declares that something has gone wrong, then would I like to submit a Report to the Droids.
Any further attempts exhibit the exact same results.
I have the same problem as maypanday and now can't reinstall games that was already installed with Orgin that the crappy EA App wouldn't recognize as installed. So uninstalled the games and can't download them again in EA App, and Origin has that annoying splash screen that ruins everything.
Why don't you add the information that the EA app will force you to pay for a membership to being able to access the games you already own.
This is pure EXTORTION! The absolute worst "customer service".
TURN OF THAT EA APP ADS i really cant play and install your EA APP i dont use 64 bit windows! Understand it!!!!!
I suspect I can see where this is heading, and that's to a Subscription based model, forcing everyone to pay for access, even to CONTENT already PAID FOR!
I hate such a business model with an absolute passion, and it has caused me to dump many Applications over the years because of such a switch.
The EA App is the thin end of a bigger wedge.
But it doesn't even work, and now it is denying people access to PAID FOR CONTENT.
It was bad enough when they first rolled this out, but at least they pulled it after all of the complaints, and allowed people to keep using the existing Origin Login.
But to roll the broken EA App out a second time, as bad as the first, is a lesson in incompetence, or arrogance, or both.
I have not been able to launch any on ea app for a while so I went back to origin, now with the pop up I can only use ea app which yes still won’t launch game “something went wrong on our side try again later”? None of the work arounds have worked for me so I can’t play what I’ve paid for. The games launched fine on origin, I don’t get it?
Legit this is stupid. I just wanna play my Sims and now I can’t less I download your crappy App? Rude. Some people don’t have to additional storage, and it sounds so glitchy that it makes me not want to download it. Let people have the option.
Does NOT work.
Blank Screen.
Bring back Origin, at least for now, rather than force a corrupted upgrade that doesn't work.
That is just ridiculous, I installed the EA app today so I could play The Sims 4 but it wont open because of an installastion error but a few days prior when I could still play with Origin, I had no issues, your app is a * system and you're preventing us from playing games we love
That's the same thing I'm going through. The only difference is I just opened and played Sims 4 last night and not for the lst like 4 hours I have tried everything to get this stupid App installed with no success. This is complete BS. I have spent so much money on the Sims 4 and can't even play it because this stupid distrustful large EA App install notification is stuck there as soon as i open origin.
I started having a problem two days ago with EA App, CnC Remastered Collection just wont run because an error caused the launch to fail.
So I've reinstalled Origin and surprisingly the game works perfect and I'm not getting the pop up forcing me to EA's Client.
Also I must say that after experiencing this, and reading this post, I'm not going to purchase absolutely anything which needs the EA App to run, so EA you better do something ASAP!!
I had this ea app cancer last month and somehow IDK how i manage to use only origin. Playing fifa20, but last 3 days ea app cancer has returned. What origin app did you install? Did you also changed anything in app settings or?
