Re: How to fix EA app Error Code EC:10005?
Jumping back on here again real quick with a question/suggestion for everyone still having the issue:
If you could make not of your ISP and public IP address (you may need to check this once every day or so as your ISP may change it. And if the issue resolves itself, or you find yourself suddenly able to get back in, could you check it again and see if it has changed.
The reason for this is to make sure what is actually fixing the issue and if it is in fact fixed.
It seems that in the few cases so far the info has been apparent, or the circumstances are leaning toward that conclusion, it seems that it is not any kind of "fix" from EA, but a change in public IP address that is alleviating the issue.
Do not share this information here, rather just make note of it somewhere for yourself for reference. To get it, there are a few different ways, the easiest for most is to simply go to a search engine (Google, Bing, whatever you use) and type in "What is my IP" and see what the results are, if the number is not just given, the first couple links, mainly the ones to whatismyip.com and such are fine, and will give the result.
Another way if you don't want to use a website is to use the command line to look it up.
For Windows 10/11 you can just use the "curl" command, example: curl ifconfig.me (this will ping the ifconfig.me server, and return your public IP address.
For Linux and MacOS, use the "dig" command in a terminal window: example: dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com (this again, pings the servers and returns your public IP address for you.)
If you notice the issue resolves itself suddenly, just do the same and see if they are different, if so, if you could let us know here that you IP's were different. (Again, do not post the IP addresses here)
Anyway, again, just more info for those who might want. 🙂 Back to Dishes, Dinner, and killing Prothean Collectors!!!! lol
