Cannot Play Anything on EA App
Ever since EA forced the update from Origin to EA App I've had issues trying to play my games whilst online (no games actually open it just hangs on the loading bar forever) but I could at least work...

PC.
The error message only happens in offline mode. In online mode it's just the launch loading bar that hangs indefinitely. I can repair and uninstall/reinstall games okay.
And in fact after finally finding a way through the official help pages to try and report the bug I found the live chat, and I was advised to uninstall both game & EA App and restart PC using clean boot and reinstall both. I tried that and currently some games seem to load in offline mode (whether or not that will remain true I'm not sure), but the one I did the full re-install of still gives the EC:204 error in offline mode or hangs in online.
...Or did when I tested it after doing the re-installs. Now, when I test it to confirm the error code, it runs fine and I'm really confused because literally nothing has changed since the last time I tried to run the game offline and now.

It is always good to go online and update the EA app and the games from time to time.
I'm glad everything is sorted and you can run your games in offline mode now. Please let us know if you ever need any further assistance. Have fun!
