Re: Is there a way to force the EA app open in offline mode?

I would like to confirm that the EA app will not open when there is no wifi. I’m currently without wifi and cannot get it or my sims 4 game to run.

Yesterday I switched from origin to EA before going on a trip. I would not  have done so if I knew this was going to be an issue.

EA should be explicit in the limitations of its app before forcing it on players, who a) don’t normally play games that require to be online to function b) literally PAID for a game they now cannot play despite the fact that it does not require wifi to function

    This exactly.  This needs to be fixed.  We should not, after 20 years of playing the sims, suddenly have to have internet connection merely to log into the app in order to load a game that doesn't require internet connection to play.  This is BS and needs attention now, especially after we were forced out of Origin where we could log into Origin app even while not connected to the internet.  When I installed the EA app, the Origin app was automatically removed from my computer and I try to redownload the Origin app, it takes me directly to the EA app download.  It is unacceptable for EA to take away access to a game that people have been playing and putting money into for 20 years!!

    @xoLunaLove It seems it hasn’t been addressed yet. We keep being told they will pass the message on. But still when my wifi is down I cannot log onto my EA account to go on offline mode which blocks me from opening my games at all.

    @rmvarillas My thoughts exactly. I know dam well it can be done. I feel like its because theyre trying to do some sketchy sh$t. I guarantee you its because they want some type of intel they can only pull when youre online. That, and or want to make sure you can access their online store at any time. It amazes me how I bought this game and cant even play it. Its sad that as technology gets more advanced, the shi#tier it becomes. I'm so tired of running into problems like this nowadays
