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.
I also posted same:
now i see this post. I think the EA CrApp has been programmed by ChatGPT, the code for the App has been copy & pasted somewhere in the prison of Xinjiang.
It is unbeliverable how the EA people think they can just missuse people's free time for typing in login credentials into their broken app..
