Purchased packs previously working now missing - 2 PC installs
I have 2 PC's set up to use my EA account - my main PC and a gaming laptop. I purchased Lovestruck and Hobbies and Businesses and activated the country kitchen on my main PC. Downloaded and installed without issue, played for a bit and the packs are all working correctly. Son wanted to play so logged the EA account off on the main PC and into the gaming laptop. He started playing immediately and did not install the new packs on the laptop before playing. When I switched the account back over to the main PC and started the game the save that I was playing before now shows lovestruck, H&B and country kitchen as all missing. Starting a new game and trying to access the associated worlds shows them as not being available but says not installed which is different to the worlds associated with the other packs I don't have yet like Royalty. I have restarted the PC, run repair, uninstalled and redownloaded the packs. What else can I do to fix the sync issue? The packs show as purchased when I go to them from inside the game, I have checked the install path and they are installed in the correct directory, in the EA launcher they are showing as installed and ready to use.
Packs/Worlds showing as deactivated in-game/Not active after purchase
I downloaded the For Rent pack and in my game files it says the pack is there but in CAS and in build mode etc it says I don't own it, I have repaired sims and the EA app but the issue is still not fixed. Thanks Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title
Battlefield 6 Medic Guide - Share your knowledge!
Introduction Hello everyone! Following on from the incredible guide from our EA Forums Hero ElliotLH I wanted to provide my own guide to help out with an area of the game I play every single day. Namely, the Medic class. Like Elliots guide this will be a quick-start guide with some tips I find useful in every single match I play. Some of you will be well used to the tips I give here while others might find it useful. I think we can all agree a good medic can make or break the push when the team is rallying to PTFO. Below are some things I do when playing medic that I find work well. For the seasoned support players out there, feel free to add your own advice and tips in the thread and they will be highlighted in this post also as well as any loadout screenshots you want to provide. The Role of a Medic It’s easy to fall into the habit of treating every downed teammate as an instant revive. That’s usually where things go wrong. When someone drops, the fight isn’t over, it’s still happening. If you run in without thinking, you’re just following them into the same mistake. A better way to frame it is this: your job isn’t to revive first, it’s to stabilise the situation. Sometimes that means fighting, sometimes creating space, and only then reviving. Best Practices Below we're going to go through some of the best practices you should implement when playing as a Medic. This list isn't exhaustive but these are base level things you should be doing to ensure maximum success when playing as a medic Awareness Many times you will be your squads only medic, in those situations you are the difference between your squad sitting on the respawn screen or getting back in the fight and restoring the momentum of your push. It's important that you take stock of your surroundings to help ensure not only your survival but that of your squads if and when you need to revive them. Getting that tap-revive with the Defib looks great for your stats but it's not going to help you if your squadmate gets mowed down again immediately. Prioritise between clearing the threat, providing cover for others to clear a threat or as the points below will show, breaking line of sight between the enemy and your squad so you can do what you need to do. You need to be thinking: What should I prioritise as a medic when my squad is down? Controlling the fight Clear the immediate threat. (If your squadmate was just dropped by a visible threat and you are able to engage, engage immediately and clear the threat) If you are unable to clear the threat break the enemy's line of sight. Smoke grenades are a medics best friend. They're versatile, fast and not only do they break the enemy's line of sight on your downed squadmate, but also helps reduce their line of sight for the rest of the engagement Reviving the right way Do you have hard cover available? If so then drag your squadmate to safety. They'll revive in a better state to fight and won't be in immediate danger the moment they're able to move. If you don't have hard cover? Determine if you can get a full defibrilator charge revive off. This will give your squadmate the fighting chance they need to get up and move, without comprimsing your momentum by reviving them with low health. Is there more than one squadmate downed in range? If you have multiple squadmates downed this is where the quickfire tap revives with the defribrilator can clutch things up for you. Yes, you're reviving your teammates with lower health, but you're increasing your numbers immediately while the enemies vision is obscured allowing you to increase your concentration of force straight away which when combined with the dropping of supplies can help sway the tide of the battle in your favour. Place out supplies - Get those supplies down, make sure everyones got ammo and full health regen as they're being revived. The fight isn't over yet and it's hard to change the outcome if your squad is low on health and ammo. Communication tips. Elliot spoke a bit about how important communication is when controlling a vehicle. Being a medic is a little different but communication is still important. If someone doesn't know a medic is coming to revive, they're going to release and respawn, which is a ticket lost and a fighter in this battle missing until they manage to get back to the front line. Heres what I find helpful, even if you're not able to talk over the mic. An important thing to remember, your communication doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be useful. Acknowledge revive requests! (This one's important.) I always try to acknowledge revive requests when moving into an area under fire where theres a lot of people needing revives. I can't get to everyone at once and believe me I get the impatience of wanting to get back into the fight so I understand that people skip if they think they're being ignored by the medic. Acknowledge those requests and make good on them as long as it's possible. People are more likely to hang on when they know theres a good medic nearby. Use the ping system if the revived person is in your squad to notify them of supplies or that you've smoked an area. Update them on the situation as best you can. Request cover fire. No matter how good you are as a medic, you can't help yourself if you're downed. We've all seen the heroic plays of the medic diving into oncoming fire to pull off the revive but if you've got no cover that heroic action isn't going to last long. So request that cover fire! Use text chat to coordinate cover for large engagements if you don't have a mic. Especially if you're one of only a few medics. When theres only a couple of you it can take some time to get everyone back to fighting shape. If the person is in your squad and you haven't cleared the area before the revive LET THEM KNOW. When you're outnumbered, reviving your squadmate isn't going to be much good if they don't know where the enemy is once they're back on their feet. Alright, next part. What loadout to run? This part is where it becomes a bit subjective. Yes Support class players have a bonus with the LMG's. If you like to provide fire support then thats the best way. You can lay down heavy fire for a prolonged period and with the right positioning, you can help hold the area against multiple enemies. Personally I always play more of a "combat medic" role, prioritising speed and close range fighting strength. On that note Here's some screenshots of what I personally tend to use. Here I opt for the PW5A3 SMG. It's perfect for close quarters. Accurate and has a solid rate of fire for quick run and gun engagements for when I'm darting in and out of cover popping off some revives. As part of that I opt to use the M320A1 SMK smoke grenade launcher along with throwable smoke grenades so that I have maximum capability for line of sight denial while reviving, particularly on the objective. For how I set up my PW5A3 you can view the screenshot below. This isn't something you have to replicate, it's just what I personally like running, the important part when building out a loadout is finding what works for you. What weapon are you comfortable with and what is your particular playstyle. For example, here is what ElliotLH tends to use: Common Mistakes Most issues come down to a few repeat habits: Reviving before dealing with the threat Using smoke too late or not at all Focusing on one teammate and losing awareness Forgetting to stabilise after revives (no supplies, poor positioning) Overcommitting to “hero” plays in bad situations Fixing these alone will noticeably improve your impact. Conclusion And there we have it, this guide is by no means exhaustive and there is absolutely some even more skilled medics in the community who may have different tips than I have laid out here. It's my hope that they will add their own tips within this thread and we will highlight what we can to help any burgeoning support players out there. I hope you find this guide useful and absolutely feel free to provide your own top key advice or share screenshots of your own loadouts that work best and we will highlight them here. If you've got any clips of a time you've made a clutch revive, or where your medic work turned the tide of a match feel free to include them here, we'd love to feature them in future posts. See you on the Battlefield, PTFO.
PC EA App - Battlefield 6 Updates Failure
I have an EA Pro membership which I'm about to cancel. Every time there's a BF6 update it takes a minumum of 3 hours to update the game, and I cannot consistently recreate a method of success for getting the game to update either. I've Tried: • Clearing cache through App repair • Deleting EA Folder in %AppData%/Local/Electronic Arts • Deleting everything in %ProgramData%/EA Desktop except the folder iteself • When seeing download icon within game UI (for multiplayer or Redsec) initiating download from there • Repairing App • Reinstalling game EVERY SINGLE TIME I employ any of these methods, a reboot leaves me at EA App screen which either shows a downloding progress zero status which eventually times out, or loads showing that I don't even have BF6 installed. It will clear after I reboot, but often it DOES NOT DOWNLOAD CONTENT. Sometimes it will install one batch (like RedSec) but not the rest queued. So I reboot and try again. Sometimes it works, sometimes not I've been playing BF ever since BF3 and have remained loyal to the brand (even after 2042 debacle, which says a lot). After this absolute GoatF**ked update issue and the epically horrific customer support at EA (these people send emails asking if their tickets have been resolved despite never reaching out to troubleshoot the issue and then auto close the tickets) I'm wondering if I should just delete the game and move on to another franchise. I've enjoyed the content but it seems pretty anemic. Given the dropping player counts and the fact it takes me a day to update 15 gbs worth of content when it would take 3 minutes on steam, maybe I should be back to Arma? Has anyone found a fix for this issue? If so please share, as EA simply asks their tech support to recycle their worthless troubleshooting FAQS. Had any of the solutions ever worked, I wouldn't be complaining here. Thanks in advance for advice.Mass Effect 3 Online Pass Error
Hey, can't seem to get multiplayer to work, I'm using the EA app on PC. I see all these threads about the online pass and I've tried to follow the advice in them but I'm having no luck. Not sure if it's something on my end or not. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. (cm edit - updated thread title for vis)Could Not Avtivate Mass Effect 3 Error
Hi everybody. I just bought ME 3 on Steam. I'm having trouble getting the game to run on my PC. Nothing I've tried so far has worked, even though I've tried just about everything. I saw that someone else on this forum had a similar problem that they managed to solve. This is my first EA game, so I don't have much experience with it, so i hope that you guys can help me too. This is what i get when is try to launch the game. (cm edit updated thread title for vis)
Can't disable packs on EA App/Steam
After the newest patch the game ignores the command to manually disable packs on the EA App. That's a problem because I don't want to activate every pack at once for all my save files and have occults running around. I want to play with just a few selected packs, which fit the individual save file's theme and its storyline. Edit By crinrict: added missing thread tags (my own testing)
[LS] [GRO] Dynamics getting reset
Hello, EA. Since the latest updated in 2026, my sims are no longer able to do multiple romantic interactions. Even my family sims relations and dynamics/romance dynamic is getting reseted and "nulled" out everytime I go in and out of CAS. I have tried to turn off mods (even tho I don't have many at all).. I have tried to reset cache and the EA app.. I have tried to move the family in and out of different houses.. played different households in the saves... and nothing works.. the problem are the same on every save.. new and old saves.

Dice please wake up !
I’ve been a fan of the Battlefield series (starting from Bad Company 2), and what you’re doing now, dear developers, is terrible. 1. First – the quality of the content you release is awful. You try to fix some problems and end up creating new ones. Where is your QA department? Who is actually checking the content before release? 2. Second – your efforts and decisions are clearly focused only on squeezing as much money as possible out of players by selling more and more microtransactions, while attention to detail and respect for the community are completely missing. Just look at your latest Nightfall event: you locked the new weapon in such a way that it’s impossible to unlock it by simply playing and enjoying the game. You force players either to wait 3 weeks or to pay. Just remember the PREMIUM in BF3… it was fantastic, that’s what you should be aiming for. 3. Third – the community is loudly telling you that the game already has enough small and closed maps, and is asking for classic Battlefield-style maps, where vehicles and infantry can interact and be balanced properly. Where you can fly jets and not die instantly on the airfield (hello, Blackwell Fields… by the way, you still can’t even expand the playable area for air vehicles on that map: as soon as you take off, you’re almost out of bounds. How is that possible?). Right now there are only two maps where you can more or less fly jets – Mirrak Valley and Operation: Firestorm – and that’s very sad. Where are the naval maps? Where are the winter maps? The whole US vs. PAX Armata conflict line is done extremely poorly. The idea is good, but why did you present it so badly and blandly in the single-player? The player doesn’t understand the depth of the conflict, so there’s no real immersion. Remember BF3 and BF4 — there was a clear division of factions and it was obvious why the conflict existed and what everyone was fighting for. Another point: you had a huge player base from Eastern Europe where most people speak Russian, and you still dared not to add Russian language support. Is this the “freedom” we are all striving for? Is this your idea of respect for the community? Next, you’ve created a decent RedSEC. Why is there no proper support for it? Why do players still not have Ranked? How is that even possible? Isn’t it obvious that the only thing that can keep players in a game like this long-term is competition and a proper ranked system? This is very strange and very disappointing. And instead of enriching the game with meaningful content and not letting it die, instead of listening more carefully to community requests and protests, you’re preparing an event… with motorcycles and a Red Bull collaboration. My god… this is just absurd. I love Battlefield and I want this game to thrive and develop in the RIGHT and MEANINGFUL direction. Thank you for your attention. I hope you read this post and take appropriate action.
