EA App does not launch, receive "Temporarily lost connection"

That actually worked for me!
I had the same problem, and it started today after I left the EA App open for too long. I don't know what happened exactly, but it restarted a couple of times and then stopped working completely over the course of a few minutes.

I hope I won't have to use the VPN for every login

I had this same problem but I think I managed to solve it. Here’s what I did:

1. Delete the folder EA outdated or something like that on C:\Program Files\EA Desktop\outdated_EADesktop (it’s not enough that you click on the trash icon, you have to delete it from the recycle bin too)
2. Open Avast > protection > firewall
3. Look for EA on the list and click into the 3 dots next to block > show app rules
4. Click on basic rules and wait for it to load (be patient) and then click on app rules
5. Delete all the rules for the apps that contain outdated_EADesktop in the location.
6. Close Avast and open the EA app, everything should run normally

I hope this helps, it’s the only thing that’s worked for me!

I am currently having this problem right now. My internet is fine. The app has worked fine before, gotten through the firewall just fine, so I don't get what the issue is now. Any viable solutions? 

This worked for me as well! Thank you!

So , hope this helps.

I didn't know why , I had the same problem as you guys, good connection, everything worked except for ea app.

I have an external network card where i plug my ethernet cable, but i had the one  from the board enaabled as well and it created a conflict.

So ,I disabled the wireless, the board one only left the one that I was using and it worked for me.

Gl

Go to Settings > Network & Internet > advanced Network Settings > more Settings > Network reset.

Then restart your PC. It fixed it for me like that.

I changed my IP adress with a vpn and now it works. had exactly the same problem. I turned the vpn off and now it works again also at my old IP.
