Re: How to fix EA app Error 500?

I also have this problem. Can't play any games. See file attached. 

Edit: I closed the EA app and the EA background service via task manager and everything works now!

    I'm having this issue right now. The app won't even recognize that I have games installed.

    Update: I just opened task manager and terminated the EA app and the EA background service, and when relaunching the app things worked fine. 

  • I closed the EA app via task manager before, but that didn't help. Now I also closed the EA background service and everything seems to work!

    @JahKneeSee wow man thank you so much for this tip! instantly worked! I was so annoyed and thought it's my ISP's fault!

    for dummies: ctrl+shift+del, go to "details" tab, terminate "eadesktop.exe" and "eabackgroundservice.exe"
