Community ManagerAlright, Girgburg. In that case it's recommended to see if you're still having the same issue on a new Windows Administrator account. That was, you can check if perhaps something on your current account prevents the client from launching correctly. You can do this via:
- Open Settings
- Press Win + I
- Go to Accounts > Other users (Windows 11)
or Accounts > Family & other users (Windows 10)
- Add a local user
- Click Add account
- Choose "I don’t have this person’s sign-in information"
- Click "Add a user without a Microsoft account"
- Enter account details
- Username (e.g., AdminUser)
- Password and security questions
- Set as administrator
- After creating the user, go back to Other users
- Click the user > Change account type
- Select Administrator > Click OK
EA_Leeuw, Unfortunately, that did not change anything as well, I still cannot get the EA App to launch. It will show the splash screen and then nothing, even after waiting for minutes. At this point I’m over trying to find a solution; I’m just going to pick up the games I still play on Steam whenever they are on a steep sale.
Oh wait, I can't do that since most of your games on Steam cannot launch without connecting to EA App. I just tested Burnout Paradise which I have on Steam, and yep, it won't launch. So, I really cannot access most of my EA games now. Wow, amazing, thanks EA. Is there any way I can get a refund to all my games that require EA app to launch since I cannot access them at all now? Serious question, this is ridiculous.
