I keep getting this error everytime I open the EA app. I'm not able to contact EA for help through chat or email on their help site. I'm coming here to see if anyone has this issue or has found a fix. I saw some other posts that had this error and were resolved so I tried the suggestions and nothing worked.

Thank you.
