network not doing its network thing
Product: The EA app Platform:PC Error Report ID (learn how to create an Error Report ID in the sticky post) when I submitted my error report, it did not give me an ID! Even that part of your app is...

I'm unable to login into the app. It tells me I cannot login because the network failed to do its network thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and have changed networks etc. This only seems to happen when there's a new sims update.

Community Manager@GinaFemia Gotcha, wanted to make sure, can you test this for me?
Go to your task manager -> CTRL + ALT + DELETE and then find your full list of apps (you might only have a couple displayed.
Hit the arrows in the bottom left corner to see them all).
Close the EA App if it isn't already.
Find the "EA BACKGROUND SERVICE" app and end task
Then go to the EA App installer folder, and right-click and run as admin.
Let me know if you get the same error.
Yes, I am still having the same issue. This is a fix that I have tried multiple times in the past with the same result - I'm still receiving the error message and unable to log into the app and access the games. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, changing my password, updating my network, making sure there are no background apps running, updating the app, etc. This does seem to only happen when there are sims 4 updates as the last time this occurred was April 18th, and the time before was March 23, all times where there was a significant sims 4 update. In both cases I was unable to log into the app for 3 days before being able to login on the 4th without any interference on my end.
I do want to thank you for taking the time to respond, I really do appreciate your effort in this. I am hoping there might be a solution that won't take three days to rectify. I have attached the error message for reference.
- EA_Shepard@GinaFemia Have you happened to reset your password since it started happening to you? It has worked for a few players. Things like this get weird because I see some players that say it worked, others like yourself, go through this long list and nada happens.
Yes, I just tried resetting my password and am still receiving the same error message.
Has there been a new update? I'm currently getting the same "network not doing its network thing" message.

@mcraddock23 This should have been resolved a while ago. If you are still running into the issue and none of the steps outlined on the thread have worked, please post a new thread on the EA app board and title it with the error you get.
As this post is old we have to lock it down so that we can start tracking new reports from players.
Thanks!
