[EA app] Mass Effect Andromeda Missing Online Access Error

I own Mass Effect Andromeda Deluxe edition for the PC, and despite following all previous instructions given on other answers regarding this issue, I still cannot access the online Features, and haven't been able to for months. Have literally tried everything, I think it may be a backend issue.

    Hey, @foxxfire111 If the following do not work, support has to resolve it on their end. These should trigger that pass but if it does not, support has to go into the EA account and make changes. There isnt anything on your end you can change or download as it is an account issue not a game issue.

    Delete EA License Files:

    • Make sure the EA app is closed.
    • Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
    • Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services" (without the quotes) into the new Window > ENTER.
    • Enable View Hidden Files and Folders
    • Delete all files in the "License" folder.

    Please clear your temp files:

    • Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time
    • Into the new window, type or copy & paste: "%temp%" (Without the quotes.) > hit "ENTER".
    • Your Windows Explorer should have brought you to the "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Local\Temp" folder. > Delete all files and folders in it.
    • (If some files or folders can't be deleted, reboot and try again.)

    Update: If the above does not work, you will need to contact support so that they can resolve this on the account side. This error should only happen if you have or previously had an EA Play subscription.

    You can contact our live support on our Help Site. To request a chat or open a case through email:

     

    • Select the EA App
    • Select one of the account issues like I cannot log in
    • You may get a pop-up that says login and get faster help
    • Select Continue without logging in
    • This should give you the chat/email option

    Remember to be very specific when you contact support so that they know exactly what is happening with your game.

  • Hey everyone, I've got the exact same issue with Mass Effect Andromeda. Can't get help from EA help as I'm stuck in a Resume Case loop. Tried deleting the license folder and the temp folder to no luck. Could anyone possibly help me as well? Thanks guys.

    Hi I am getting the same error, and there's no function/option to contact the support.
    I've also done the recommended stuff (deleting license folder and temp files)

    I had this problem 3 times 4 years ago (had ME:Andromeda through the xbox sub, and bought it on steam afterwards)

    @junmaiowo Hey, you should be good to go. However, I would like for you to do the following on your game and client

    • Steam - Verify in your library
    • EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)
    • EA App - Repair (My Collection > Tile Dots > Repair)

    If these do not work when you log back in, reinstall the game so the game installs a new registry line and you should be good.

    Let me know!

    I have tried absolutely everything to get online access in Andromeda and I have no luck whatsoever. I spent 15 hours with EA support trying to get it sorted and they just dropped the ball, wasn't interested in getting it sorted. I gave up and stopped playing for ages and then decided to try again, new install, it worked the first couple of times I loaded the game and then hit a brick wall with that lovely connection error we all know so well. I really wish someone could help me sort this out as there are missions in the game that can only be completed online...someone, anywhere, please help haha.
