For me the issue is similar. I started to download FIFA 22 with EA Desktop, then changed to Origin to continue the downloading. The download was finished with Origin and I'm able to play FIFA 22 with Origin, but in EA Desktop I can't play it, the game shows the Pause icon in the bottom right, but it is not listed in the Download manager. Please help I want to play FIFA 22 in EA Desktop. Thanks.
EA SPORTS FC™ TeamHey @hektorgg,
It could be that the cache is the cause of this.
You can easily clear the cache of the EA app by clicking on the 3 lines in the top left, and then going to Help > App Recovery.
That should do the trick, please let me know if it doesn't.
It didn’t work for me either. It is happening with Battlefront. Any other ideas? If I re-download will I lose all my game progress?
This does not work for me, please give another way to get the games to work on EA Play, I have Anthem and Need for Speed Heat downloaded and all of a sudden I don't have access and I have to re-download when its already downloaded.
hello
for some reason my EA app wont let me play the games in my collection what ive been playing for a while> when i go to play them it is telling me to download them again but i it wont let me download them becuase there already in my libary? if you could help me out id apprieciate it no end mate
I have the same issue and no one is helping me out either, only thing I know is that EA launcher does not have the right file pathing to where the game is but I don't know how to rewrite that so were on the waiting game for a admin here to help us out.
I am having the same issue too with Madden NFL 22. Clearing the cache did not work for me.
Hi, this has been happening to me as well but clearing the cache, reinstalling the app, reinstalling Gamepass, and restarting my PC/updating my drivers/running as admin all haven't worked (which were all the suggestions I've found in forum threads to solve this) I am 177 hours into Mass Effect Legendary edition and I'm terrified about losing my progress; what do I do here?
Hi i have tried this solution and it is not solving the problem.
It doesn't worked for me, please help me!
Same problem. ****** fix your * EA
@EA_Jason I have the fifa 22 game file on D drive and ea desktop app ask to download i have cleared the cache using "App Recovery" it doesnt work
Tried everything in this forum. Same Issue at the same time on Account1/Win10 and Account2/Win11. Surely this means it is NOT the computers but something Upstream that's causing this.
I was able to narrow down something that you might find interesting. When you press the option to go into "offline" mode, then for a split second you'll notice a white screen which I've screenshot here which basically explains why I'm seeing "download" instead of "play". Yes, I did check twitter feeds for both EA and Battlefield but nobody reported any issue there yet at the time of writing this.
Bottom line, other games have the "Play" button, just not any of the Battlefield games. - So I'll wait.
this didnt work for me ☹️ I may be misunderstanding the ea platform, as i can play the games via the installed games sidebar. But when I click on them, theres a blue button saying download even though I have it installed. Im not sure if this is an issue, or if im just only supposed to use the sidebar.
hello Mr Ea Jason .

in Ea play App i have FIFA22 in my hard drive but it doesn't installed in EA Play yet i can't download FIFA again because of my internet it's very slow .
