Hello @madimp84 

When you have a moment can you try the following and let us know if this continues?

• EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery) 
• Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance
• Run the System File Checker tool then Check for Windows and GPU updates  
• Check Drivers, Default to High-Performance GPU: Troubleshooting Graphics issues 
• Connection and Advance Connection Guides 
• Restart your device in Clean Boot mode, then just try running the client and game
• Try a new user or admin account

Cheers!

None of the methods above Community Manager suggested worked. What worked at least temporarily for me:

1. Uninstall EA app and reboot
2. Install Origin (the predecessor of EA app)
3. If you open Origin, it will show a screen which shuts you off from its access and tells you to install EA app. Ignore this for now
4. Origin will go through all installed games, verify hashes, etc.
5. After all hashing and downloading has completed, install EA app and uninstall Origin from Origin's block screen

It works so far for me now. If anyone else is having similar problems give it a shot

How did you pull down the EA notification to switch to their app. Everytime I attempt to route through origin I cant exit out of the EA screen to switch apps to do anything. 

You can't. But I only needed Origin to go through already installed games to hash them etc. so didn't need to do anything inside Origin anyway
