EA App opens by itself after exiting out of app
This issue just started in 2026 for me, I am on Windows 11 25H2 running the latest build. After I'm done playing a game and exit the EA App via exiting using the sys tray, it will randomly open itself again after a few minutes. There are no updates and no linked apps causing it to open, Open on startup is disabled and I have the app disabled for starting with windows in task manager. I've seen multiple threads created about this occurring as far back as a year, but there has been 0 fixes found. This needs immediate attention by the developers as this should not be happening. EA devs feel free to message me for logs or whatever is needed to get this fixed.Time Played Rest to Zero since the Update
Since the recent update, my playtime hours have been reset to 0. I had my game offline and not set to update automatically, but the EA App kept forcing the issue, which I kept rejecting. Then, on Thursday, I updated my game. It did not recognise all the packs I had, and I had to re-download them. I cleared the EA App cache and re-downloaded all the DLC's. From there, I noticed that my played hours had been reset. I thought it might need 'time' to register the hours from my profile, so I continued to play, hoping this would be rectified. To date, this has not happened. I went from over 18000 hours to 5 hours (which is the time I was streaming The Sims 4) and as of today, 24 hours played only. I'm attaching screenshots of my hours in February 2026 (I don't normally take a screenshot - didn't know how important that was going to be!), but I found one from the 27th of February 2026 showing that I had 17005 hrs and 26 minutes played. I want my hours back, please. How do I do this? It cannot be possible that this happens!313Views3likes11CommentsEA App keeps kicking me to Offline Mode / EC: 10007 (EA FC 26)
Hello EA Support / Community, I am constantly getting disconnected from my EA FC 26 matches (specifically in Rush / Ultimate Team) on PC via Steam. During gameplay, the game suddenly kicks me out with the error message: "You're in offline mode. It looks like you're logged in on another device... Error code: EC:10007" followed by "Unable to connect to the EA servers. Please check your internet connection, make sure the Platform Client is online". Things I have already tried without success: Re-installed EA App and did a clean login ("Keep me signed in" checked). Cleared EA App Cache & deleted temporary AppData folders. Untrusted all devices from my EA Account settings and reset my login session. Added EADesktop.exe, EALauncher.exe, and FC26.exe to Windows Defender / Firewall exclusions. Running both Steam and EA App as Administrator. The EA App keeps randomly dropping its background connection and switching to Offline mode by itself while playing, ruining matches and giving DNF penalties. Please investigate this issue, as it is clearly a bug with the EA App background session sync with Steam. System details: Platform: PC (Steam + EA App) Game: EA FC 26[INFO REQUEST] Error Code: EC:10005 In EA app
For days now, I’ve been reaceiving this error code on my PC. I repaired the EA App, uninstalled and reinstalled it, checked my Norton firewall, reset my router, ran as Administrator and tried other fixes, but the error persists. This has never happened before, and it only affects the EA App—my Steam games run without issue. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM ASAP!!7.7KViews20likes226CommentsMacbook can't use EA APP / Error code: EC:106

I've open EA Swiss Sarl in App Background Activity already for mac setting -Files & Folders I've add Ea APP already -Full Disk Access I've add Ea App and open it already *but in Local network I did'n see anything about EA App, and it seems that adding network access will have to come from the app itself. I use Macbook Air M5, macOS Tahoe 26.6, and my Mac is up to date. I think I've provided enough details, and from what I've found in my research, other people have encountered this problem as well, and it's been around for a very long time. However, the problem remains unresolved; people simply disappear, choosing to delete the app entirely without any further action. If you require further details, I am happy to find and provide answers to prevent this problem from happening again and to benefit all players worldwide. Hopefully, this problem will be resolved.73Views0likes3CommentsINST-3-1310 - I'm Unable to install EA App

EA app / FC26 (Steam version) — persistent "Game license is invalid" / "This game is managed by Steam" errors preventing launch, ~4 days. Summary: FC26 was purchased on Steam. Launch attempts fail with alternating errors: "Game license is invalid" and "We were unable to process your request because 'EA SPORTS FC 26' is managed by Steam. Go to Steam to complete your request." The Sims 4 (also EA, also Steam) launches fine on the same machine, same account — so this appears isolated to FC26. Already tried (no effect): Reinstalling EA app multiple times, including letting Steam reinstall it fresh Unlinking and relinking Steam account Clearing EA app cache via in-app option Verifying integrity of FC26 game files via Steam Deleting the EA license folder manually Deleting the full local entitlement/catalog cache (%LocalAppData%\EADesktop) and letting it fully re-sync Reinstalling anti-cheat (Javelin) Testing with and without VPN Full PC restart, checking for zombie EA/Steam processes, launching EA app manually before handoff None of the above resolved the issue. The failure is reproducible even after a full local cache wipe. Root cause found in EABackgroundService.log: Repeated fatal assertion crash on every launch attempt via Steam: FATAL ASSERT FAILED cond: gameRunStatus.offerKey.offerId.isValid() msg: The parameter [gameRunStatus] has an invalid offerId func: eax::components::contentInstall::ContentInstallComponent::Impl::handleMessage line: 3361 This occurs immediately after EASteamLauncher connects and EA app successfully queries the catalog for Steam App ID 3405690 (FC26), finding 11 offers — but then crashes when resolving the specific offerId for the launch request, which breaks the Steam↔EA app handoff and produces the error dialogs. EA app version: 13.764.0-6277-c6f1d610f Request: Since this is a reproducible client-side assertion failure (not a local file/cache corruption issue, confirmed by full cache reset not fixing it), please escalate to technical/engineering rather than standard cache/reinstall troubleshooting.
