Whenever I tried to open the EA App or directly play a game made by EA. It was telling me that it unexpectedly crashed, not even EA support could help me. Is this happening to anyone else?
- 12 months ago@FlyingAdrian1 yes, it started after I updated the EA app today and it seems others here have that problem too, even for longer. Do you play on an older computer?

Pretty much in the same situation. Deleted the app, reinstalled it, cleared the cache, repaired it... Nothing works.

Since an update on 19th of March 2024 the EA App crashes unexpectedly every time it is started on my Windows 7 64bit PC (6 Games installed). It has been working fine before. Clearing the cache did not yield results, deactivating Bitdefender (Antivirus) did not yield results, Windows 7 is the most actual state possible.

Hi
my EA app has decided not to run anymore. Every time I try to open it, it opens a window with a error message, saying something went wrong.
So far I have tried to restart the PC (several times), repair the app, clear the app cache and de- and reinstalled the app (several times).
No luck so far. I've seen this be an issue for multiple players in the last months
Do you have any tips to try or estimates as to when this bug will be fixed?
thx

My app keeps crashing when I'm trying to open it.
Over the last week I tried on several days to start the app and every time it told me the app unexpectedly crashed before it can even open. There is no error code, just the option to send a crash report and restart or close the app.
I've tried repairing the app and deinstalling and reinstalling it, also in combination with restarting the PC.
I honestly don't know what else to do.

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/My-EA-app-keeps-crashing/m-p/13577145
Ive had it for awhile now since EA updated the APP. I cant even log in to the app and on the rare occasion that i can login, all my games are not available, i can see their outline but when i click them nothing happens .
Furthermore, i am unable to play offline as well
I seriously hope EA does something about this. And good luck to you.

I just got the notification that Origin is not working on my MacBook anymore, and I need to download the EA App. After installing the EA app, it won't start. I keep getting crash notifications and that's it. After contacting EA, the only workable solution was to reinstall the EA App. It doesn't work and I keep getting crash notifications. Now I can't play my Sims 4 game anymore. How soon will this problem be fixed? I payed enough money for The Sims 4, even bought a new pack a week ago. I play this game for years, and now I can't play all of a sudden because of a faulty app. I am so dissapointed for the "help" I got.. Are there any workable solutions for my expensive game?

EA App is crashing or The Sims 4 is crashing?
Can you post a screenshot of any error messages you are receiving.- 11 months ago
The EA app doesn't even start. It just instantly says it's crashing and that's it.. And still it is. The last solutions was: just wait.

I am running into a similar issue. I got prompted to download the EA app on origin and it worked fine with no issues for a few days. Yesterday, I tried to open the app but it kept crashing. It said that the EA app was not supported on mac. I followed all the steps from the link you provided but the app still wont download. I don't know what else to do :/

Its been months since the first complaint and im having the same issue. Has anyone solved this problem
- 9 months ago
Had this problem a month ago. It is now back again. App crashes. I get the "backround services crashed" popup. Manual update does not do anything except confirming the app is already up to date. And that's it. Well done (again).

▲ The app crashed unexpectedly
We ran into a problem, but a quick restart should fix it.
Who has the same problem?

Hi, did you manage to fix this, or did the EA app work again? I am having the same issue today, tried many things to fix it, but still getting the same error message.

Can't load the EA app today. All was working fine yesterday. I tried multiple things to fix this. Made sure my Windows and Visual c++ is up to date. I have no other apps etc run in the background or systems blocking the app.
I tried to open the EA app as administrator, rename the EA folders, and uninstalled/reinstalled the app. None of it is working and I always get the same error message: The app crashed unexpectedly.
All was fine yesterday. Any help would be appreciated.
