Can't open EA app I get error code EC:201

Yep, this is exactly what worked for me.   After being a loyal sims fan since the very beginning, I am starting to think I am DONE with it at this point!  I have never had so many problems until recently, and I just want to turn my computer on and play SIMS!!  I don't want to HAVE TO BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET just to launch the d**n game!  :(   

But, thank you heaterdc8, uninstalling it, and reinstalling it (after waiting 30 mins and 3 trys later for the app authentication in order to sign in)....  it appears to have worked.  EA is loaded, now let's see how the game itself runs... LOL

tysm bruh I came to this thread bc im having the same thing....

I know this is an old post but I just ran into this issue and wanted to come back to just let anybody else with this issue know what worked for me. I had downloaded the app installer, ran the repair, didn't work. Deleted temporary files, didn't work. Restarted PC, didn't work.

What DID work was simply uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. That was it. Problem solved. I hope this helps the next person that inevitably has this issue and has to dig through posts that are years old to find a solution.

So, what actually worked for me was to unplug my router for around 10 minutes, until my IP address changed. Someone pointed it on reddit and said : " Seems to me EA is adding or switching servers constantly and some ip's or hostnames they are using are being flagged as malicious/spam, in my case on my mesh system" - https://www.reddit.com/r/origin/comments/15iiuep/damn_error_code_10005_is_back_ea_desktop_app/ 

Still doesn't work

i tryed that but the file will not delete.

hi did you ever fix it? same problem

I tried your advice, I tried absolutely everything and I still get EC201. What is the bug fix?

Hi, i did 4k+ damage and 25 kills in Three-Strike mode 3 weeks ago and still haven't received the 4k and 20 kills badges. Although in the same mode (Three-Strike) i did unlock the 'Knock 4 enemies within 20 seconds' and received it.

Please your support. This is since Jan 31.

@Cr4zy_NL This specific error may not be with the adapters but you won't know unless you make changes. The issue is the network you are trying to play on.

When you look at the network adapters on your PC you will see which ones are connected and the rest should say not connected. Regardless of using Wi-Fi or Ethernet, the one you are on will not have "not Connected" listed there.

For this error, we ask players to start with the troubleshooting guide first, and once all the steps on this list are completed, you get more involved with different troubleshooting steps.
