I tested the EA app out again today and it still will not open at all. It worked the first few days I had it but then it stopped. I changed nothing on my end. I hear crickets from EA so there we are, I'm using Origin until I can't or the EA app gets fixed. Or I'll see about transferring everything over to Steam, if possible.
This is a huge flaw in requiring a game launcher to play games, if the launcher is borked you have no access to the games you've purchased. Also, I do not feel I should have to work hard trying to research solutions or troubleshoot launcher problems, the launcher needs to work reliably and easily since they are required for access.
