Community ManagerHi @Derekorl, @MiracleKiratts, @195ak,
Still experiencing the "The app crashed unexpectedly" or "Background Services Crashed" error?
If you're still experiencing the "The app crashed unexpectedly" or "Background Services Crashed" error in the EA app, even after updating the client to v13.188, clearing the EA app cache (if possible), or repairing the EA app (only possible on Windows), please share the following requested data with us where possible (click on "Spoiler" to reveal info):
Are you playing on a Windows PC or Mac:
If Windows, what Windows version are you using (click here on how to see this):
If Mac, what version of macOS are you using (click here on how to see this):
Timestamp when the issue first occurred (date/time):
When does the error occur (opening the EA app, starting a game via the EA app, Steam, Epic, or during gameplay?):
What is the current version of your EA app (check here on how to see this):
*Edit: if you can't open the client, you can't check this. That's okay!
