Re: EA app crashes every time Apex legends is trying to update

I have the exact same problem with the Sims 4. 

Every time I open the EA app it crashes after a minute or so. I am trying to update TS4 but the download preparation gets stuck at 42%. So far I have tried admin running, visual c++ updates, revo uninstall and reinstallation of the EA app, updating windows, uninstalled all expansion packs and deleted all mods and cc, and all of the basic system checks. None got me any closer to figuring out let alone solving the problem I am close to uninstalling the whole game and buying a new computer at this point. 

Some additional information, which might be related or a problem in and of itself, is that The Sims 4 also kept crashing the day before. Especially every time i tried to use doors in build mode. I tried repairing the game and deleting all mods and cc which didn't work, so i decided to wait for the game update to see if that was going to fix it. Now i am in an even deeper pickle because updating the game is impossible.
