How to fix Error Code EC:10000 or EC:10500 in EA app?

Hey everyone.

There is a lot of good info here as this seems to be more network/permission based as from what is described and what did and did not work. Can we try the following steps and let me know if they work or do not work?

Connection Steps

• Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance
• Connection and Advance Connection Guides
• Untick the options in LAN Settings (make sure nothing is checked under Proxy Server)
• Change DNS settings (You can use the public Google DNS primary: 8.8.8.8, secondary: 8.8.4.4)
• Change TCP/IP Settings
• Set up a Static IP
• Try a new Windows User Account, This changes any settings you have made for network and security
• Reset Windows Host File
• Change UAC Controls within Windows
• Try Safe Mode with Networking - you want to see if it is a firewall or antivirus blocking it.
