Tried reinstalling Origin from this link. It still force-updated to the Ea app and uninstalled Origin on me. Does it whether or not I uninstall the EA app.

Community ManagerHey all, going forward you will need to use the EA app to play your EA games.
Please follow the steps to install the EA app to continue playing.

Doesnt work. Says account cant be found on everything.
I have tried everything
clear cahce
delete origins folders
was even marked fixed by a customer support after i restarted my PC and now it tells me to call on the phojne?
this is absurd.
Who is dumb enough to make a video game launcher where you cannot invite your friends to your game. About the dumbest thing ever. Befpre release you shouldve considered that, including all the mods and stuff people use to try and create a way that makes them compatible with the new launcher.
@EA_Darko You aren't listening. The reason everyone here wants to go back to Origin in the first place is because THE EA APP IS BROKEN. The EA App is, by its own admission, still a BETA project and it shows. It clearly isn't ready to replace Origin. A number of games linked to peoples accounts DO NOT WORK. I can't play Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order because I keep getting an error from the EA App saying a problem occurred on the launcher and to try it again later, but it never works! FIX THIS HORRIBLE APP, LET US USE ORIGIN AGAIN, or better still, GET RID OF YOUR DRM.
@snip3r49cant they let us use Origin istead of coerce evryone into using their crappy app like cowardly psychos?
The problem is we can't continue playing because the EA launcher doesn't work. Every game I try to load gives the 500 error "mysterious error encountered, try again later". After uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling the launcher, it shows the games as not downloaded, but when trying to download it starts the download but never moves past "processing", literally for hours. This launcher is very broken. Please fix this.
Day #3 I'm still not able to login to the new EA App that replaced Origin. I can't even just go back to just using Origin. I'm starting to lose my patience with EA. Every time they they've done something, something else gets messed up. Please fix this, as the weekend is almost over and still I haven't been able to go on game. This is what I get every time I try and login with EA App.

Well I don't know if it were this or that, but last night I was finally able get on game. No more complaints from this EA gamer mom🙂
It does NOT work Drako !
Are you a bot ?
Except the app you're forcing onto us does not work. I cannot play the games i paid for due to an ongoing issue that has been reported in multiple threads over months and months of no changes. The EA App cannot launch my games and consistently fails, saying its a fault on their end. Every attempt to solve this was fruitless and at the end of the day I cannot even use Origin, the only way i was able to use the game i purchased, because its apparently necessary to FORCE users to install this trash.
So this has been like this for month's? and they still haven't done anything to fix it... Damn that's bad. Well I guess f*** EA then. I'm out, there are better games to play elsewhere.
Yes, this nightmare EA App issue has indeed been going on for Months.
At no stage did they state that EA Games were time limited, which is effectively what they have now done.
I can no longer get access at all, despite wasting huge amounts of time trying to find a legal workaround.The EA App now pops up every time I launch, cannot login, none of the Origin screen menus work, and the EA App fails to install every time.
I have also tried downloading it and installing that way, which doesn't work either.Timely reminder that any Game that requires a login, is bad news, or will be bad news at some stage.
I could not be more unimpressed with EA.
- @EA_Darko - No, I have signed nothing that allows you to block access to games I have previously paid for and are already on my system, I did not authorize you to attempt to force your buggy BETA programming on me. Glad I know to never buy games on your platform again, I'll be sure to never pay for your products again.
- @EA_Darko no. the app doesn't work and i wont use it. If you update Origin and remove the pop up window coercing you into using a different, non-functional app that doesn't allow access to ALREADY PAID content-- maybe then i will consider using your "EA app"
That app should be a choice, not force, I should be allowed to play my games, not be forced into an app that doesn't work. Hundreds of people can't get their games to work when they use the EA App, but Origin STILL works, what's the point in all of this??
