Re: Mac EA app - "Something went wrong" - Error EC:106 on EA app for Mac

@Bluebellflora It hasn't dissapeared, the app just refuses to start. I keep getting an error code and I talked to an EA rep and they told me to simply wait until they fix it...

@SKIDDODLES

What is the error message? Can you post a screenshot please. Plenty of Mac users are managing to use the App so it seems unfair customer support would tell you just to wait....

@SKIDDODLES

☹️ Could you follow these instructions to reset EA App https://bluebellflora.com/2024/04/04/ea-app-recovery-for-mac-reset-ea-app-by-clearing-cache-and-other-files-manually/ when you relaunch the app make sure you allow the changes and access that macOS prompts for. Let me know how you get on.....

@SKIDDODLES

Urgh. Thanks for trying. Do you have any antivirus running that may be interfering and blocking it launching? Either on your Mac or anything installed at router level on your network. Could you try a different WiFi network to see if it’s a connection issue?

(OS dependant) I don’t think this is the cause but if you go into System Settings > Privacy and Security > Full Disk Access is EA App in the list and is the toggle enabled? If not enable it.

Which version of macOS are you running?

@Bluebellflora omg this seems to be working for me. I’m able to open the ea app and my sims game is downloading finally after over a week of not being able to figure out how to fix it!!!

@scgrif 

🙂 What worked for you?
