Unfortunately, it seems like nothing here or on the thread you recommended is working for me. On the thread you recommended it seems like the poster said that the solution actually didn't work and that the game updated after they repaired the app which I still can't do. After reading the post though, I'm starting to think it may be because I bought Adventure Awaits? I don't recall having any of these issues before I bought it, but I can't quite remember if I bought it before or right after the issue started, so I don't quite want to blame the pack considering I don't really have a way to test it.
I've literally never had an issue with the EA app before this, and it's honestly grown more irritating because now my game isn't working right – which I would normally attempt to fix with a repair but for obvious reasons I can't. I appreciate your attempts to assist me with this issue and I apologize for the delay in response :))
