I installed the EA app since orgin is phased out. I cannot get the EA app to load. I keep getting EC:104 then I say restart app and it just stays on the restarting app screen.

For some reason mine was fixed when I realized my clock and date was wrong. Syncing it fixed it
I have reinstalled EA app for 3 times, and I have gotten the same problem for each times.
Furthermore, I have turned off my antivirus, but it still remains.
No cause I reinstalled it like 5 times by now, deleted everything and reinstalled it again, clicked the repair button like 10 times, nothing worked. I'm going to try one more time but if it doesn't work istg imma be so mad
EA is honestly so scummy i have reinstalled this app multiple times and its been like this for weeks i dont know what is wrong with Ea how to fix it or anything some one please help me because im actually losing my mind
I got mine to work. Went to uninstall but this time clicked repair and it worked right away
GUYS, I've found the fix.
I had the same issues and had FIFA 23 not working aswell as the whole EA desktop app. Follow my exact instructions and hopefully it'll work for you too.
1: Navigate to your EADesktop.exe file location, most likely here: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop or somewhere similar, if you can't find it, go to computer and search for EAdesktop.exe and leave it to search, it will eventually find it, then right click it and click 'open file location'.
2: Find the application named 'EAUpdater' and run it, it should open a command prompt and begin downloading and updating everything, once it finishes it will automatically close the command prompt.
3: In the same folder, find 'EALauncher' and run it, it should now open your EADesktop app if you had issues opening it.
4: If you had issues with FIFA 23 like I did where it seemed to have deleted itself and wouldn't run. You should now be able to open it, mine had a new update after this, I updated FIFA 23 and then when launching it, it auto ran a long update on the AntiCheat and then auto opened FIFA23 when it finished, but it wouldn't leave the FIFA 23 loading screen so after closing it again and reopening, it finally worked and I had the EAdesktop app working again aswell as FIFA 23.
Hope this helps
I'm still one of those who like to play The Sims 3. I really love this version, with his open world. Even it is buggy sometimes.
On my new gaming laptop, the EA-app is functioning, but I have lots of problems with the Sims 3 launcher. I can barely start up my game anymore since the EA-app took over, especially after an update.
On my older laptop, with windows 10, the EA-app does'nt open up at all. I allready have tried all the things I've reed here, but nothing worked for me so far. So I can't play even my game there anymore. With Origin it was never a problem. I've played for years with so much fun on my older laptop.
The EA-app is horrible. For me, it's the worst decision they made so far. Sorry to say this.
For myself, I still miss Origin every time when I want to play my Sims games.
I've tried to download Mass Effect Legendary Edition twice now and it has failed both times. The download is over 100gbs and I don't have fibre internet connection. After pausing the download, it will not restart I get an error message. It says try again soon but the download fails. The second time I got to over 50gbps. I tried to follow advice and clear the cache as directed to try and solve issue but the process of clearing cache broke the app and I had to use the installer to repair the installation. I got an error code EC:104.
This app is a buggy {REMOVED} and has wasted a lot of my time. The second time I had been downloading for 24 hours ffs.

What a disgrace for a company in this field that a month has passed since the last check on this thread and EA Games has still not provided a solution.
I had this issue plaguing me for weeks and couldn't find an answer. Today I found something that seemed to work, in Windows Settings > App; starting with Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable, I clicked modify and chose the repair option for each instance of Microsoft Visual C++ 20** Redistributable. Then I restarted my computer and launched the EA app installer and chose the repair option, after that I was able to log in and launch a game.
