Pop-up Asking for EA sign in to activate

Hi there - wondering if anyone can help with this issue. When I press play I get this pop-up asking me to sign in with an EA Account, however, I am already signed in on both the EA app and launcher. Unsure why this isn't working but any help is appreciated. I'm on Windows 11, have no special characters in my password, have tried loads of suggestions already but am at a but of a loss.

Thanks in advance.

    puzzlezaddict​ hi, yeah I've tried a million times and it still pops up with the box - restarted my computer, uninstalled the game and EA app, cleared cache and it is still showing the box every time. so weird!

  • Ogallagher21​  That is definitely strange.  Try a new admin Windows account, in case there's some hidden temp file getting stuck in your main account, or some other permissions issue that's limited to that account.  If the game lets you past this pop-up in the new account, try your main one again.
