Hey all (tagging @stillcr4nk, @Daveed84x, @Jumbobreakfast), 

A little update about the situation; so at the moment, this seems to be working as intended.

The teams also came up with a potential solution: 

  • Clicking "cancel" on the log-in prompt, and then clicking "close" on the next window should allow you to download or launch your game.

Could you maybe give this a try and report back if this works for you?

However, I understand that this isn't exactly a nice flow, and that feedback has been passed on to the teams.

This works and it's what I've been doing, but it's absolutely absurd that I have to do this. This shouldn't be considered "Working as intended". This should be fixed in a future release of the EA app. As it stands now, I won't be purchasing any additional games from EA until this is fixed.
