Empty authetication token error

Empty authetication token error when trying to launch sims4 (logged in at EA)

"There was an error retrieving the authentication token from the server. Give it a few minutes before trying again." 

Nothing else, just the "EXIT" option. This has happened for approx. two weeks now - thats a lot of minutes.

Restarting, reinstalling, and so on has resolved nothing.

Any ideas?

Regards

  • @sejekat42  Try doing a clean uninstall and reinstall of the EA App with Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine).  Use the Intensive scanning method when asked.  Restart your computer before reinstalling the App, and run the App itself as an administrator: right-click the desktop shortcut and select "Run as administrator."

    If that doesn't help, are you able to test with a different network?  For example, if your computer supports wifi, you could set your phone as a mobile hotspot, using data rather than your home wifi.

    @sejekat42  Are you saying your sister can login to her EA account on this same computer and play Sims 4?  Or are you saying something else?  The first would make it pretty clear that the issue is your account.

  • devinsinner  Please post a screenshot of the error, for reference.

    Please also try my suggestions earlier in the thread, and let me know whether you're able to test with your EA account on another computer, or someone else can test with their EA account on your computer.  I'd like to know whether the problem is the computer or the account.
