Product: The EA app
Platform:PC

Which client functionality are you experiencing this bug with? Other (Please Describe)
Please describe BF4 Requires Update After Forced EA App Install and Origin Uninstall
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 08.12.22
Summarize your bug EA forced me to uninstall Origin and now must use EA App. BF4 says I need an update, but keeps telling me there's either a problem with the download or that things have gone haywire. It's been over 24 hours and the problem is still there. I have tried clearing cache, uninstalling and installing EA App, uninstalling and installing BF4. I cannot install this game on my C drive due to drive size. The game can be played on campaign if in offline mode. But what is the point of that, BF4 is now only good for multiplayer.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? check the bug report
What happens when the bug occurs? check the bug report
What do you expect to see? to get this fixed

Additional info...if I repair the game it now will allow me to play the game if and ONLY IF I catch the pop up that says BF4 is ready to launch.  If I miss that pop up then I gotta try to repair the game again...and even then the repair most of the time says download failure.

  • @EA_Atic  Yea... cus after more then a month I havent done that 😉
    The ``fix`` i found was paying more money and geting the ea pro for a month.

    Then i could download the games again and patch them.

    Its going 2 be interesting 2 se if they break again when the month runs out
