Re: EABackgroundAgent.app using significant energy
... and a screenshot taken about 20 seconds after closing the app, showing that EABackground service is still running / using energy.
Hope that's the info you wanted. Thank you.

@TigerblueDoodles Many thanks! To double-check; did you by any chance see if the background service was still running after a minute or so, or did it eventually disappear? Also, I assume you have disabled all and every background-related service in the app, including the updates for the game and the client and such?Hi @EA_Leeuw , I've just run the check again.
Two minutes after closing the EA app, it did disappear from the Activity Monitor, without me killing the process.I was initially able to get into the app by dismissing the pop about the app ‘wanting to make changes to my computer’ (by pressing cancel), as mentioned in Posts #4 and #9 of this thread.
However, if I then try to open the EA app again, I can't get past the pop up by pressing cancel. If I try to, I get error code EC:106 and the app won’t open.
So, I have two choices when I turn my Mac on: I either have to open the app and close it completely OR, if I don't want to do that, I have to go directly to the Activity Monitor and kill the processes that have come on at start up (which don't otherwise disappear and which cause the fan to kick in after a while).
Yes, everything you mention is disabled in the app.
Hope that's helpful.
