Unable to play purchased game. Getting Error Message "There was a slight hiccup"

Hey all, the team are aware of the issue and working on it. 

As the EA App is still in beta things like this can pop up and while it's not ideal at least the workaround works.

I recently subscribed to xbox game pass and downloaded Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 on EA desktop. After a week from downloading the game (today) and 12 hours of playtime the EA app is asking me to download the game again even if i arleady had it downloaded. I arleady tried a couple of solutions that I found on the internet (including https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports-Technical-Issues/EA-Desktop-asking-to-download-already-installed-and-played-games/m-p/10387528/highlight/true#M3463 ) but none of them worked. My friend is having the same issue with the same game and we would both appreciate any help.

I hope that article will help you. 🙂

OK I fixed the issue
basically I had to download the game again lmao

didnt lose any progress/data
suprised I didnt think about it before

Same here. If you have any luck, please let me know.

I wouldn't say that this is fixing the issue. I have 3 such games, and no more space to download them again.

Moreover, it takes a lot of time to download a game!
