@hailie482 There are a number of network errors in your logs which is unusual.

I assume you have used the same wifi as your previous laptop that worked. So it is unlikely a problem with your internet.

Do you have any firewalls installed, or perhaps the default Windows firewall in a mode that might prevent traffic?

There is an app "Firewall & Network Protection" on Windows which has an option to "Allow an app through firewall".

Perhaps check that all "EA app" and "EAInstaller" apps have all the access boxes enabled.

Do you mind trying that, restarting the computer and attempting to load the app again?

    Hey there, having the same issue. Checked my firewall protection and EA is already allowed through. Like OP, tried all of the above solutions and nothing.

      @Deathofhorde so i was able to fix it! i just factory reset my computer and i was able to use the ea app and download games with no issues. my computer is brand new so i didn’t have any files or anything on it though, so i’m not sure if that would be something you’re okay with doing 😅

      @Deathofhorde Hey, if you saw hallie482 solved this with a format of the computer. If you are seeing this problem, do other apps and games work fine? Is this problem exclusive to EA app?
