All EA games crash on launch! Can't play any games.
Any game I launch on the EA app will not launch, either through the launcher or the .exe directly. This issue began when I replaced my computer's motherboard for a different model, last month. When launching most games, I immediately get a crash report, which says: Dumping started... Dumping finished. File: C:\ProgramData\eaanticheat\Crashdumps\PACKER_... .dmp Finished. Here is what I've tried so far to fix the problem: Troubleshooting steps for uninstalling/reinstalling/repairing/updating EA Javelin Anticheat outlined on https://help.ea.com/en/help/pc/ea-anticheat/ Disabled all non-Microsoft services in msconfig and all startup apps in Task Manager (had to keep EA Background Service enabled to use EA App) Cleared temp files from %Temp%, system scans using "sfc /scannow" and DISM Fully uninstalled the EA App and individual games using Revo Uninstaller (as was suggested by a support agent), restarted computer, and reinstalled the EA App and individual games Checked that my GPU drivers, chipset drivers, and BIOS are all up-to-date Here are my computer's specs: GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X RAM: 64 GB DDR5 6600MHz I don't experience this problem with any of my other game launchers, and because of this I'm currently unable to play any of my purchased games belonging to the EA launcher. Have talked to support a few times now but unfortunately still no solution to this issue. Note: I've tried launching Need for Speed: Unbound, which I don't believe uses EA Anti-Cheat. I don't get a crash report when starting that game, but the game window never opens and the process immediately closes.
EABackgroundService Feedback
Hello, Current: EABackgroundService service will automatically stop within about 1-2 minutes after the EA App fully exited, if correspond settings in the EA App are turned off. > The current situation may be frustrating due to privacy concerns. Expected / Feedback: There should be an option in the EA App settings to do that stopping EABackgroundService service without any delay as soon as the EA App fully exited. Thanks.
EABackgroundService issues
When I close the app (with all settings turned off for background tasks happening) and with the launch mode of the EABackgroundService set to manual, the EAbackgroundService does not stop. Even if I go into the services and stop it myself, the service just restarts itself and keeps on running. There is no reason this should be happening. When I close the app, I want all processes related to the app to end. Including this EABackgroundService. Also has a side note, I want the option to close the app fully when hitting the X button. Steam doesn't have this option, and it is incredibly frustrating. Epic and Battle.net do and I appreciate them for that. Don't let this already pretty terrible game launcher fall behind in a very easy category they could get ahead in. Give me an option, so that when I click X, the application fully quits, and doesn't just minimize to my tray. Thanks.
Can't Launch My Games due to an Error
I just got Unraveled Two off of Steam, and yet I can't play it. Whether it's my Steam or EA app library, it shows up and is installed, but when I press play this error pops up: I looked at what file this is coming from in Task Manager and apparently it's called "activation UI." I also have tried signing in and out of both Steam and EA, running both as admin, reinstalling EA, clearing the cache, and also deleting the License folder. However, the License folder never had anything in it in the first place. Is this why it isn't working, and how do I fix it? I've been troubleshooting for hours and I just want to play the game I just bought for crying out loud.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Error When Installing
Hi, I bought the Command & Conquer The Ultimate Collection back in 8/10/2013 through Origin (Order #: 1238088875). However, when trying to install Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, I get an error message on the app saying I don't own the game. I have attempted to reinstall the EA app, clear cache, and I get the same error message. I don't get the error message with any other game from the collection. I contacted EA support but they weren't able to help. I don't know what else to do. Thank you!EA App won't open
My EA app will not open. I have waited months for EA to resolve issues. A few months ago, I tried to log in and begin playing the only game I have on the EA app. This game is The Sims 4, for context, I use the base game, no cc. When I tried to hit play, as usual, I get an error for the very first time. My game would not update. I tried everything I could online, including clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, restarting my computer, and ensuring that my Internet connection was secure. NOTHING HELPED. After reading through the forums, I decided to wait as issues pop up and resolve themselves all the time. This issue has been ongoing for a few months now. Recently, I logged on, and now my EA app will not open at all. I keep getting an error code 10005. I have also tried everything to fix this, including uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and ensuring that my Internet connection is stable. Once again, NOTHING works. I turned to EA support, where I waited for nearly three hours for two separate people to tell me there was nothing further they could do and to post on the forum. HELP.
Let Players Change Linked Steam Accounts
So I’m not sure if I’m posting this in the right place, but I need to vent. This whole system is honestly broken. I’m stuck with my dad’s Steam account linked to my EA account because back when I set it up, I didn’t have my own. Now I do but EA’s current policy won’t allow me to unlink his account and link mine instead. And the worst part? There doesn’t seem to be a direct way to contact EA support about it, which makes it incredibly difficult to resolve issues like these or even ask about them. Their “one Steam account per EA account ever” policy is extreme and, frankly, unfair. If there’s a valid reason this exists, I’d genuinely like to hear it. People grow up. People change accounts. People make mistakes. How was I supposed to know that my future self would end up with her own Steam account? Forcing players to create a brand new EA account and lose all their purchases, progress, and data is outdated, greedy, and user hostile. And just sucking it up and dealing with it isn’t a real solution that's just shoving it aside as the problem still persists.
