EA App Vs. Steam

So for about 3 weeks I struggled with the infamous "No Connection" Error in the EA  App. Eventually got it right by starting the App before I start the game instead of leaving the game to try and open EA App.

After a lot of swearing trying to play DAI (One of my old-time favorites), I realized EA works without problem if I start it up before Steam. Problem is then I struggle to get Steam connected to the internet and I need to restart steam several times before it sees my connection.

Why is there an Issue between the two applications? Is there something I can Change to resolve this? I buy all my games on Steam so all my EA games needs to run thru the EA app and come hell or high water it refuses to run in offline mode.

Just as a side note, every time there is an update I need to recover the EA app before I can (After several tries) get connected. Tonight again, I need to recover the app to be able to connect.

  • Hey @Mrkwiggill that you see issues with multiple programs points to system issues.


    Testing this just now on my own setup and not seeing any issues with playing DAI from Steam.

  • @EA_Darko After months of struggling, your advise pointed me in the right direction. Cleared and flushed my IP's and DNS's, Reset my networks and "Viola". First try, no connection errors on either and that was while forgetting to disable my anti virus. Thanks for pointing me there.
