    EA App is working again for me! Here is what I did before it worked:

    Go to Applications > EA App > Click right and choose "Show Package contents" (or something similar, I translate from german) > Contents > MacOS, then run the EA Updater until it's done. Close it. Open EA Destager from the same folder, enter your Admin Password when EA Launch Helper is asking for and it's done. The Login window opened and I was able to log in and update my game.

    Hope it works for you all!

    @loooryglooory This worked for me as well! Except that when Destager was Completed, it didn't ask me for anything and nothing asked for my password, so I closed Destager and opened EADesktop from that same folder and it opened and downloaded my updates. Thank you!

    The suggestion in post #73 worked for me.

    "Go to Applications > EA App > Click right and choose "Show Package contents" (or something similar, I translate from german) > Contents > MacOS, then run the EA Updater until it's done. Close it. Open EA Destager from the same folder, enter your Admin Password when EA Launch Helper is asking for and it's done. The Login window opened and I was able to log in and update my game."

    Thank you so much, lorenameier!

    I've lost the items from that stupid log-in event, but whatever.

    Do you update your game through "Show Package Contents" or is there another way?
