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.

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🙂
Eventually I got it working.
it took me 4 installation attempts , used Lutris, and some Linux voodoo that I cant even remember now - I just compared installation files - and then did some copypasta - it eventually worked after 3 hours frustration, thanks EA....I figured others would have an issue too ....funny how it seemed just to affect those of us on the night. . . .
