Having the same issues, tried EVERYTHING ea help mentioned, but still nothing helps (not in particular order):
- uninstalled ea and reinstall✔️ no launch❌
- delete everything, download origin, installed it, downloaded game again, switched to ea app✔️ launched, switched off "remember me", but could only play for 1 day, then (without ANY changes on my side!!!) the app failed to launch again❌
- cleared cache✔️ no launch❌
- installed latest DirectX again✔️ no launch❌
- set EABackgroundServices to start automatically ✔️ no launch❌
- set Unicode UTF-8✔️ no launch❌
- set firewall off✔️ no launch❌
- excluded anything from EA from Defender✔️ no launch❌
- started router new✔️ no launch❌
- set SSL to use TLS✔️ no launch❌
- set UAC to zero✔️ no launch❌
...
For me, it's ALWAYS the same error that says that the EABackgroundServices can't make any connection due to a failed handshake with some peer.
In my humble opinion, that isn't an error caused by something on my side; so, I should still be able to play offline like it was with Origin.
I've paid real money for the game, and I want to play it.
No idea what to do next, because what I've done is literally EVERYTHING ea "help" wanted me to try out.
I'M NOT KIDDING RIGHT NOW, BUT I'VE INSTALLED ORIGIN OVER THE NOT WORKING EA APP, AND IT WAS INSTALLED! I WAS ABLE TO LOG IN WITH EMAIL AND PASSWORD, THEN ORIGIN STARTED, AND I COULD OPEN THE GAME!! I'M PLAYING RIGHT NOW!!!
GIVE IT A TRY, AS SILLY AS IT SOUNDS.
Wait so you just installed original again and it didn’t come up with the ‘install the EA app’ screen?! You’re so lucky!
Yes, that screen comes up ... but only after a few seconds (to minutes). So, if you're fast enough, you can start the game you want, and the "please switch to EA-App" won't bother you anymore (because it's running in background, and you can't see it while gaming) 😁.
The game itself will work fine once it's started, so...
I need to try this ASAP I hope it works
