Re: administrator privileges

Hi All,

Since I know many is still struggling with this issue here is my fix assisted by EA Support.

I had the same issue that all of you had with the ea play app that Mass effect does not want to work because it keeps asking for admin privileges, now I am the sole user on my PC and a IT Tech so the UAC prompts irritate the crap out om me all the time so on setup I disable this.

Now I have tried all these things mentioned as well.

regarding the admin rights to the app ea play and so forth.

What the EA Play Support gave me is the following:
https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/ ( i followed all these steps just for the sake of it.)
Also if your UAC (User access control) is turned off, turn it back on, this resolved the issue for me. 🤓
another thing and this I do not agree with but updating your Windows was also mentioned by the EA Support, which i did too.

PS: anyone is welcome to dm me for assistance.

On a side note... The EA Support was Great 🙌

Hoping this helps anyone that might struggle to get this working.

@NanakoMikoyup, this did nothing for me. I understand this is somehow still in beta, but man, this launcher.

Have you tried setting the ea app as admin? I have done this in combination with turning on UAC (Note just set UAC on the 2nd setting so it does not dim the screen.

Setting "Ealauncher" in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop or the location set on installation

Having the same issues described in this thread, however setting the EA Desktop exe to administrator via compatibility settings (along with trying to launch the ClientG.exe as administrator) did not work. 

Anyone else get this to work?
