For me the "Keep me signed in" function works for at lest several days in a row.
If I have the "keep me signed in" box checked, EA app just immediately closes itself after I enter my user and pw and hit the button to login. If unchecked, EA logs me in as normal, and everything works, though of course this doesn't save my credentials.
I only game on a box that sits mostly untouched, and is set to launch all of its update apps overnight. If I can't automate launching the EA app, I won't buy any games on EA platform, simple as that -- I don't hate EA or their app, I'm not a fanboy for any service, if you have a working platform and best price, I will buy games from your platform instead of the other. In this regard, I can launch EA games bought on steam, from the steam interface no problem. Sad.
Try an app recovery.
In EA app > Click on the 3 lines in the top left corner > Help > App recovery > Clear cache
thanks for suggestion but I've tried this previously. Also deleted the whole thing and reinstalled, all the obvious trouble-shooting first and second steps. Just gonna buy EA games from steam store til EA updates their app with a fix. Been this way for over a year though, not holding my breath.
EA app is still required, even if you by the games on Steam.
Try running the EA app as administrator for one time > apply the setting > Test.
