Shutdown the EA App and go back to Origin. The EA app is useless, doesn't work and is causing you to hemorrhage users because its locked us out of playing our paid for games.
Filing support tickets are pointless they just get closed without a reply. Just shut it down, fire everyone who worked on the app, go back to Origin and pretend it never happened.
Decades on, and the EA Launcher still prevents you from playing the game you "own".
In which world is it acceptable to throw a random cmdline update window at the user and fail miserably at it? We're not getting paid here, we paid you.
Good job guys.
PS: No, restarting the app didn't "do the trick". For the love God, figure things out. If it worked yesterday, it should work today, implement some fallback.
PPS: But at least I earned a "the Newbie badge on Answer HQ", so I have that going for me.
