EA app on MAC not launching
EA app will open in the background but not launch. I have already tried clearing cache and cookies but that does not help. I am able to open the EA app only after I uninstall and reinstall it but it won't allow me to open up my Sims 4, has been saying an update is required but when I click update I get the terms and conditions and when I agree to that nothing happens. I have tried to click on repair in the app and nothing happens then and also uninstall but nothing moves forward. I'm at a loss for what to do.180Views0likes2CommentsEA not launching/downloading sims 4
Not sure if this is because of the buyout but honestly I dont know what to do anymore. I just got a new pc tower (monitor, keyboard, mouse the same not sure if it matters) because my old tower decided to keep freezing, with this new tower being of higher specs than my old one I thought everything would run smoothly and I chose the specs because it could provide higher graphics, speed for the sims. I downloaded ea from the official website because thats where I purchased my dlcs, then I tried to download the sims with the dlcs, then I just tried to download the base game only, I thought it would download because it said “preparing” but it never did. I tried everything, restarting the app, app recovery, uninstalling deleting the files through localappdata, programappdata, nothing appeared on appdata, cmd commands, restarting my pc, turning off my antivirus and smart app control, honestly I was thinking of reseting the pc entirely because the tower came with apps that showed the cpu and gpu temperatures and other things like: NZXTCAM, RGBFusion, Heaven Benchmark, MSI Afterburner These are my specs: Processor AMD Ryzen 7 5700 (3.70 GHz) Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.9 GB usable) Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12 GB) Storage 91 GB of 477 GB used System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor The tower came with built in wifi but the driver cant be found through device manager, so I have in a Wifi adapter. I also tried downloading sims 4 through steam and linked my ea account but it still didnt load up the game. It just says what I attached. Can someone PLEASE help me?EA is not loading
Everytime i try to log into my ea to play sims, it always gets stuck at the loading screen. I logged off for literally two minutes and tried to get back on and it keeps saying there’s an error when nothing has changed. I’m on a mac so i force quit i restart my computer nothing is working i can’t log into it.Mac EA app - "Something went wrong" - Error EC:106 on EA app for Mac
I'm having the same issue. I just contacted EA and they're saying this has been happening to several people and that they're looking into it. So I think for now we just have to wait unfortunately. Wish I had my Sims 4 game on a flash drive or a CD right now..

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!263Views3likes6CommentsDe Ps5 a PC
Hola, hace poco tengo una PC, tenia compras de SIMS 4 en la PS5 Nunca ingrese con cuenta EA ya que siempre me dejaba acceder con la cuenta de PLAYSTATION Ahora quiero recuperar mis compras de dlc de los sims 4 para llevarlas a la PC Pero me arroja error, ingreso el correo y todo, pero me arroja otro correo donde le envia codigo de validación Necesito ayuda urgenteGame launches only once per EA sign-out/sign-in (since 7/30 anti-cheat update)
EA SPORTS College Football 27 on Steam (App ID 4032350, Build ID 24253857), Windows 11 Home 25H2 build 26200.8875. The game launches successfully exactly once after a full EA app sign-out and fresh sign-in. Every subsequent launch returns to the Steam Play button with no error and no game window. Steam file verification completed with only 2 files reacquired. Official EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe (18,607 KB, dated 7/30/2026) is in place. No mods applied and no mod tools running during these tests. No lingering CollegeFB27 or EAAntiCheat processes after exit. Restarting the EA app with EADesktop.exe and EABackgroundService.exe ended does not restore launching — only a full sign-out/sign-in does. EA anti-cheat and launcher files were modified 7/30/2026 despite no Steam build change. Has anyone else seen this since the July 30 anti-cheat/launcher update? Looking to confirm whether this is EA-side?Downloading EA app to external hard drive?
Hi all! Just what it says on the tin. I've seen some people suggest that the only way to do this is to go into the powershell and paste .\EAappInstaller.exe /i DefaultInstallFolder="D:\Games\EA Games" inside, but I can't seem to get this to work and wonder if there is an easier solution. Thanks!SolvedMacbook 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.19Views0likes0Comments
