gamename already running

Question

Anytime I try opening a game on the EA app I get and error message telling me the game is already running when it is not. I have tried uninstalling both the ea app and the game i am trying to open. I have tried making sure that windows anti virus and defender firewall werent blocking any access. I have tried running system file checker and clean booting my pc. I have tried clearing cache on the ea app. I have tried running everything on as administrator. I have tried removing existing folders for both game and app to allow it to create new ones on startup. I even tried resynching my date and time because that seemed to work for someone else. If anyone has any other solutions I would appreciate it.

This is what worked for me:1) uninstall the EA App and restart PC2) Delete these folders (AppData is a hidden folder)C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Electronic ArtsC:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\EADesktopC:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Origin3) Reinstall EA app and start it; If not all of your installed games are visible then restart the client - this should populate the list.Enjoy gaming as usual 🙂
