I've managed to add it to my EA Desktop library via EA play, however it still fails to launch using this app while origin works perfectly. Before anyone asks, yes i do fully own BF4.

@_PunkBuster_LLC That looks like a different issue, could you create a new thread for this and tag me in there?
This topic is specifically for games that show "Game Unavailable". - EA_Jason4 years ago

I just had a look to make sure that it is not a different issue, but this is exactly what we are investigating. Unfortunately I don't have any updates to share are this time.
The only solution for now is to launch your games using Origin instead of the EA app.

Hi !
Same bug with BF4 here. DLC's owned but not the game in EA Desktop. Any update ?
- 4 years ago
Same for me, EA Desktop show as if I don't own BF4 but it does show that I own the DLC.
There is no BF4 game in "My collection".
In origin no problem.

@Wagnard-QC Where did you purchase Battlefield 4?
I have raised a bug with the team where some games purchased through a third party retailer makes the game appear in Origin but not in the EA app, and I was wondering if you ran into the same bug. - 4 years ago
@EA_JasonBF2042 is on the EA app. How you sure you didn't mean Battlefield 4 ? because 2042 there is no problem.
For BF4 don't remember where I got it it's been too long to remember . Either from Origin directly or maybe a KEY I got from a third party.

Do you see "Game Name Unavailable" when you look for Battlefield 4 on the EA app, or does it only show that you have to purchase the game?
EDIT: I see that you're editing things as I edit things 😉
If you purchased BF4 through Origin you should see it in your order history on your account or you would have received an e-mail with a receipt. Could you please double check?

@EA_Jason It give me the option to buy it.
I don't find anything on my mails for this. It is quite possible I got a key from somewhere else. (not directly bought on origin.)Edit: It is from ORIGIN from the receipt. I think I may know what happened. I had my account long ago on an email that I couldn't access anymore (ISP changes) and someone from support (or maybe I could do it myself in the account manager, I don't remember) changed it to my current email that I'm using now and this email is my current account.
In other simple word, BF4 was bought on ORIGIN with a different email address than the one I'm currently using for login. But it is the same account because I asked or did myself the email changes in the past and that new email became my new login account.
Sorry for my English , I hope that make a little sense.

Even if your accounts were merged, then it should still appear on the EA app.
Is there a chance that you can reach out to our support team and ask if it is possible to re-add BF4 to your account?
Be sure to add a proof of purchase and mention on which account the game was purchased.

Well after spending more than 1 hours with the EA support and two different people, it seems my specific version of BF4 isn't migrated to EA Desktop yet.
Just have to wait longer.
Hope it will help other folks.

Hi @Zarma, @J0Santos, @Wagnard-QC, @Dr_No_pt, @_PunkBuster_LLC,
I just wanted to follow up as the investigation continues.
Are you still having issues with BF4 not appearing in the EA app while the game is appearing in Origin?
- 4 years ago
@EA_Jason Still not appearing for me. I didn't contact the support team yet tho. Was crossing finger it would eventually show up by itself...
- 4 years ago@EA_Jason yep, issue persists.

@EA_Jason
Thanks for the link Jason.
Yes, BF2042 was purchased on Steam, so we can leave that out of the equation.
However, BF4 was purchased on Origin when it was released.
Regards.EDIT
Following the suggestion in the link, I ran the app as admin, but there was no difference.Problem continues.
