My storage is about half used.  I had downloaded a couple new kits the day before it stopped working again, but I used it that day with no problems.  

I have tried the game repair a couple of times.  

Starting to feel like it might be a bigger problem - I have noticed that a few posts are on here with the same problem since moving from Origin to the EA app, so maybe it's that?  

I am honestly at a point of giving up on it though - it is so frustrating.

It may well be a bigger problem but pinpointing the cause is difficult. It isn't affecting every Mac user.

I have the game installed on 4 different Macs and it works on all of them - different models, different OSs all now using EA App.

I play a vanilla game with no 3rd party content and have all the Packs and Kits to date.

I'm in the UK.

I do not run antivirus or have a firewall enabled. I do have a pi-hole on my home network.

The game and EA App have Full Disk Access on all the machines.

Explaining all this in case you think your setup differs in any relevant way 🙂
