EA app stuck on 'Applying Update'

Product: The EA app
Platform:PC
Error Report ID (learn how to create an Error Report ID in the sticky post) No error report
Which client functionality are you experiencing this bug with? Download Game
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 16.11.2022 21:30
Summarize your bug EA App is, hands down, the worst game client i have ever used. Game is stuck on 'Applying Update' for Apex Legends with a time of "NaN%"
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Download the EA app, it's terrible enough that all you need to do is try and update a game.
What happens when the bug occurs? I can't update Apex Legends
What do you expect to see? The update installed and ready to go.

I used the Origin app, it was fine and had no issues. I made the worst mistake of going to the EA app and can now not go back it seems (I have honestly tried). 

I don't understand the logic behind stopping an App that has been working for so long, for another app which is in Beta and is proven to not work. Your forums are littered with people having problems and not getting solutions, so part of me expects this is the end of my Apex playing time after years of playing. 

Yes, i have tried clearing my cache. No, it does not work - shocker!

    Hi everyone, 

    The EA ap dev teams have deployed a fix for this issue. The most recent version of the EA app is 12.80.0.5337, which contains the fix. It can take some time for the update to reach all players, but it shouldn't take longer than 24h-48h. Alternatively, you can run the EA Updater program (that is installed on your PC when you install the EA app) to force-download the new EA app version.

    If you are still experiencing this issue after updating the EA app to version 12.80.0.5337 (or newer), please let us know here in the thread.

    Thanks!


    If you continue to experience this error, it would be appreciated if you could share some data with us that allows the EA app dev team to investigate the issue.

    Could you share the EA app logs & the EA Error Reporter ID with us, here in the thread?

    The EA app logs can be found in "C:\ProgramData\EA Desktop\Logs" and "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\Logs" (without the quotation marks) and it would be nice if you could put them in a .zip or .rar file and upload them here as a post attachment.

    Please also generate an EA app Error Reporter ID and share this ID here. The EA Error Reporter ID can be generated by clicking on the hamburger menu in the top-left corner > Help > EA Error Reporter.

    Many thanks in advance!
