tried to start EA play on my PC Battlefield 3 today. It worked well yesterday but today, it's impossible to start the EADesktop.exe and to start the game, even offline as it need the launcher.
The entry point "GetDpiFromDpiAwarenessContext" seem to be the problem.
I tried to repair, to uninstall/install, but it still does not work. I tried a Windows recovery but it did not succeed.
I have the same problem! Yesterday everything was fine (02.20.2026), but today it's not! It's a cry from the heart, please explain what the problem is! I'm already blaming my computer, and I've already reinstalled the launcher several times, but if I'm not the only one with this issue, then something must have happened...
You are not alone with it. I have the same exact error message, i cnt launch ea desktop either since the last app update. There are several topics around here about this.
Same error for me, at the same timing..
I've tried to repair EA App, Visual C++ and .NetF to no avail
Same issue here but I fixed it by upgrading to windows 10. what operating system version are you running?
I have Windows 10 pro, but I haven't updated the patches for this operating system in a while. If this is the issue, it would be quite rude to deprive a significant part of the gaming community from playing on older operating systems. I don't have the option to install W11, so I must either wait for the issue to be resolved or completely uninstall and reinstall W10. However, this may not solve the problem in the future if everyone is forced to switch to W11.
I’m having the same issue. I’m angry. I’ve been playing the Sims 4 for 15 years and now because I don’t have a newer computer I cannot access the hundreds or dollars worth of games I’ve purchased. Not happy.
i play on windows 8 and i update last week and not the ea app won't open up for me. eadesktop.exe-entry point not found getdpifromdpiawarenesscontext keep come up?
My laptop is doing the same things to sense I update it
