Re: EA Launcher doesn't launch games.

I had the same problem, but now I think I managed to solve this.At least my games seems to lauch again with EA App. The reason seemed to be that my virus/sofware firewall was not listing the EABackgroundService as trusted service. This I noticed after F-Secure/WithSecure client notified it. So, the procedure I did was:

Before the following, I did "Repair" for each installed game from "EA App"

1. Locate: EA Desktop folder

2. Start: App Recovery i.e. "EALauncher.exe -recovery"

3. When launcher/recovery asks, proceed with clearing the cache  

4. After that my virus/firewall notified that EABackgroundService is blocked, if that happens, make it as a trusted service. It could be that you need to check this manually from your own fw software.

5. After recovery and cleaning the cache the EA App was working ok and games launched

    Just manually allowing it on my firewall worked for me.  I use malwarebytes.
