    Hey all, if seeing this issue you can generally fix it by starting to download any free EA game such as Apex Legends. Once the download has started stop it and then try your other games.

EA Play has been working fine via XBOX Game Pass (PC). I logged into EA Play after a week and though my games are shown as installed on my HD, EA Play is asking for me to download anything I want to play (again - since they are downloaded, this button used to say: Play). When I do attempt to select: Download - I get the following error: Unable to install - There was a slight hiccup and we couldn’t finish installing Game Name Unavailable. Restart your PC and try again.

I Have Tried: 

  • Uninstall and reinstalling EA Play (restarting PC)
  • Run as admin
  • Cleaned my registry
  • Any game I want to download/play gets this error
  • Different download location
  • My UAC settings are set at lowest

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
