Why do the users always get the finger pointed at them when this app is total pants! I am fed up of companies passing the blame to the user when it is their crap software that is at fault. I get EA as part of my Xbox ultimate subscription and it is that dodgy I never install or play anything from it. You need to dump all these games onto the Xbox servers and let Microsoft handle them via their app. At least Microsofts app works!!
- @EA_Kent Also, why is this topic marked solved when clearly it hasn't been solved and people are still having issues?
Definitely still not solved. Tried it on multiple computers, same problem with the same games. Other games download fine, like Sims or SimCity, BF3 and BF4 do not download on any computer. This is an account problem, not windows or hardware.

@zambartasTry ORIGIN as launcher, disable EA from startup, reboot and try Origin. RUN ORIGIN AS ADMIN !
If ya think its an account problem , then contact EA SUPPORT , not by this forum !!!!
I did. I tried Origin, I tried EA, I tried multiple computers. Nothing works. EA support just tells me general things like, uninstall origin and try again. Clear cache. Delete temporary files.
I am at the point where I have installed FRESH versions of Windows 11, FRESH installs of Origin and EA, and STILL the same games won't download. Only those games, other games are fine.
Don't tell me not to use this forum, that's what this forum is for.

@zambartasthere is a known issues with downloading games ! If ya login at this forum a yellow bar with the message about the issue popsup
!
And account problems is indeed not in this forum 😉 - @zambartas This is something about the account, they messed this up with the transition from Origin to EA App, same issue with Battlefield 2042 over here. They DO NOT understand that this is NOT an issue about the files or pc, I have even re-installed windows and this issue still occurs.
They simply need to check the account (there is an info conflict about the version of the game that we have, I think) They just need to refresh/clar cache on the account or something like that... This is so annoying! I have the same issue when trying to install Battlefield 2042 via the Xbox Game Pass.
I believe there is also an account level issue.
- Anonymous3 years ago@bobbyshau Yes I had this issue, where I had a "EA Play" version of Battlefield 2042 on my account which interefed with my purchased version on EA Desktop. I never had this issue on Origin
I contacted support and the guy I spoke with saw this issue and removed the game and readded it for me.
So perhaps that would be the solution for others aswell. - @oRallenallen Your lucky 🙂 After 1 hour chat session , EA Support was still asking me to clear caches etc. They did not seem to understand the issue.
For 3 days I'm talking with EA Support and they don't understand the issue. I simply request a refund.
It won't change anything. As I'm writting you I can download BF3, BF2142 (Yes I got it), or any other game available on EA Play, but it won't work with Battlefield 2042, so what's the problem? I've already cleared the cache, reinstalled the app. Is it still our problem?
As the first person, I'm supposed to have the game since I pre-ordered it, it's in my library and I own it, is it not a problem about licence we have?its not a good ''fix''.
I got my games downloading and working after starting a month of EA playPro...
I am having the exact same issue and they simply wont help me. BF 2042 simply wont download onto my EA APP.
Same issue, cant download Apex Legends. Brand new gaming computer, everything else works great.
Trying it through steam now.
Fix your *.
I cant download DAi either. Some other games work but not this one. I opened up a support ticket with them suggesting I do a live chat, but funny enough, I can't find a live chat option anywhere... the ticket just keeps taking me to resume or add something to it. I just opened another in hopes that they provide me with a link to live chat that actually works or may actually solve this issue... kind of ridiculous really.
I have same issue and ı created a topic then they removed it ı asked to ea help they keep saying clear cache ım gonna lose my mind
yup, I'm having the issue too.
App can't download my game, which by the way i already have installed, but does not work due to the hilarious "YOU DONT HAVE ACCESS" issue that this pathetic, useless, abyssmal and trash company also cannot resolve.
The access error's suggested workaround is installing a game from the ea app. But hey, I can't.
FYI I was able to download the game on another account entirely.
I have not tried to run it on my main account yet, i suspect it'll still give me an access error and not allow me.
They seem to personalise the account it's an error with.

Can't donwload... says the same.... Help
I pre-ordered "Sims 4 Growing Together" the other day, and like most Simmers, I've been eagerly awaiting the famous infant update and release of this new expansion pack since it's announcement. The day and time has arrived, I should be able to download the long-awaited addition to my Sims collection; But alas, I have encountered yet another roadblock. Why? Like for real. I spend, I wait, and here we are. Please help.
I've read through all 5 pages of this forum, I've tried every solution offered. I've cleared cache, I've cleared plenty of space for this download, but my gaming computer and limited knowledge of a viable solution can only do so much. Please help. I require further assistance and instruction.
- @bored514 i have the exact same issue with pre-ordering growing together ☹️
I've got EA play through my Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. I have managed to download a couple of games, which work ok. But I'm trying to install Mass Effect Legendary and getting this error. ALso trying Unravel for my kid to play but same issue. What gives?
