Have a look at this Post from the AHQ regarding this error code:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/RESOLVED-EA-app-Error-Code-EC-204/m-p/12707972/highlight/true#M30749
I hope, that this will help. Good look!
Thank you. Yes, I did see that thread from last year and it's where I got the ideas for the things in my post that I already tried. It does look like the only thing that really fixed it back then was an update to the EA App from EA. Then, it seemed like an issue affecting a number of people so the issue got attention. But so far right now, I haven't seen anyone else posting that this is an issue for them.
