Thank you.

What is the current version of your EA app: App is not open and cannot be verified. Downloaded the latest version from the EA website around 6 p.m. on May 19th
Please share an EA app Error Reporter ID here in the thread: EC: 104
I already wrote about the error on May 19. It's on page 8. But I'll rewrite it for you to see 🙂
My problem says background service crashed. So I have to write it here, right? I want to stop looking for this problem.
Please solve this problem quickly. EA is not a small company. But isn't it taking too long?
I'm so frustrated that my head is going crazy. I beg you. Please solve this problem!!!! (P.S. I used a translator.)

Your Mac model name : MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
What version of macOS are you using: Monterey Version : 12.7.5
Timestamp when the issue first occurred: 13/05/2024
When does the error occur: The error occurs everytime I try and launch the app.
I double click on the app then a message comes up saying (EA app wants to make changes) and then asks me to enter my Mac password, (i enter my password) press enter and when i do this an ERROR code EC:104 BACKGROUND SERVICES CRASHED. It then says 'a quick restart should do the trick', i click restart app and the the same message comes up 'EA app wants to make changes', i enter my password and press enter.
It now comes up with a box saying 'CONNECTING TO EA APP' which stays up for around 2/3 minutes, then it comes up with box that says 'SOMETHING WENT WRONG AND THE SERVICE FAILED TO START.TRY AGAIN IN A MINUTE' with the Ok button.
This whole process happen every time I try to launch the app which i have been trying for nearly 10 days.
What is the current version of your EA app: Unable to check this as i can't launch the app
I have been trying this everyday since the 13/05/2024 for nearly 10 days and this still persists to happen to me and a lot of other people trying to play their games.
Please can you give us an UPDATE on the process in fixing this app and also give us access to origin in the meantime until you fix your Application system.
- hopePee2 years agoNot applicable@EA_Leeuw Frustrating!! When are you going to fix it!! I told you that my problem is not what you write here. So I wrote a new one and there is no answer so far. Is this how foreign countries treat consumers? I don't understand! And the problem hasn't been fixed at all. How much pain should consumers suffer? And how long should I wait without feedback? Give me back the origins of the past so I can play the game. Looking at the first page, I think it's been a long time since the problem occurred, but nothing has been resolved. I wonder how you guys solve this problem. At least reply when the consumer writes! Plz
