EA app bugged
im pretty sure the ea app is broken for me for the past day or two all my friends are showing as offline and i appear offline for them too. i think its because theyre on an updated version of the ea app while mine isnt. they got the prompt to restart the app to update but i havent gotten it. unfortunately because of this i cannot invite or join them to play games. one of my friends was online for me yesterday and i was online for him too but he got the prompt to update the ea app and then when he updated i appeared offline for him and he appeared offline for me ive tried the following: reinstalled the app cleared cache tried the repair option in installer deleted/blocked my friends and unblocked and re added left the pc on overnight with the ea app open hoping to get the update app prompt ran ea app as admin tried different ea account changed dns servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 nothing works and unfortunately the 2 games im trying to play need my friends to be online for me to invite or join them and because its bugged where i appear offline for everyone and everyone appears offline for me, i cannot do anything (yes i checked if i have appear offline is enabled and it isnt, i am online). its strange that i can send messages and my friends send messages to me in the app but it still shows me as offline. any help would be appreciated, maybe there is a way to force update the app that i dont know of.
Can't edit my profile in the EA App, showing an old name under my actual name
Hello. I just installed the EA app and was going through my friend list when I noticed an old name I haven't used in years was being displayed under my actual name. I want to get rid of this because it includes part of my real name, but there's no option to edit my profile in the app. When I click my name in the top right and then click My Profile it brings up this: As you can see it's trying to ask me to add myself to my friend list, theres no other option besides in the ... menu to block and report myself. I can only see this grey name when I click on a friend and scroll down their list to find myself. I also noticed that in the My account page for Settings in the app it only shows 'Odbolt' until I view myself in someones friendslist and then it changes to add the old name under it as well. Before: After: This is clearly a bug and I don't want that name associated/attached to my account any more. It seems like something EA needs to fix for me, what can I do here? Thanks for reading.
I have brilliant Idea "EA Game Library Finder™"
Hello Fellow Gamers, Today, I'm here to present a groundbreaking breakthrough that will change the gaming world forever. We're finally putting an end to a chronic problem that has plagued gamers for years! Get ready, because the solution I'm going to present is so simple, you'll wonder how EA didn't think of it all this time! 😉 😉 What's the Problem? (We All Know Actually...) We've all used the EA App, right? We install our games, play them, then maybe change location for free up to some disc space. But then, what happens when we want to go back to that game again? Yes, you guessed it! EA App can't recognise that the game is already installed! It's 2025, artificial intelligences are writing poetry, cloud-based systems are everywhere in our lives, but EA App... has difficulty recognising the installed game. It's really unbelievable! 😂 But no wories you friendly neighboorhood super hero is came up with brilliant Idea Revolutionary Solution: EA Game Library Locator™ But worry no more! Because I, have developed an ingenious solution that will put an end to this outdated problem! Introducing: EA Game Library Finder™! How does this revolutionary system work? Here's the secret: The new ‘Storage’ Tab: We're adding a brand new tab to your EA App. What is it called? ‘Storage’! Yes, I know it sounds complicated, but please stay tuned. ‘Manifest Data’ Detection Technology: Under this tab, the EA Game Library Finder™ works its magic! It automatically detects the ‘manifest data’ (yes, please don't say what that is 😉 ) of your installed games. You just need locate the location and thats it! One-Click Verification: Once you located your storage! Just click on the ‘Verify’ button of your game! EA Game Library Finder™ checks your installed files and... BAM! Your game reappears in your library! No downloads, no waiting, just pure gaming fun! 🤯 Striking Features of EA Game Library Locator™ (Yes, These Actually Count as Features!): No More Re-downloading Games! (Yes, this is actually possible!) Save Disk Space! (Because you won't have to download games over and over again!) Save Time! (Say goodbye to game download screens!) User-Friendly Interface! (Tabs and buttons... what more could you want?) Revolutionary Technology! (Manifest data... you got chills just hearing that, right?) Here I prepared UI by making my photshop skills about how it will be a tab. With the Add Drive button, you can show various discs where your games are installed. Under the ‘...’ button, you can access these folders from the ‘Explorer’ interface, ‘repair’ the manifest files if they are corrupted, ‘rename’ the folder, or ‘remove’ it if you want to move it to a different location. How's that? Genius, isn't it Clinkz! What are you waiting for to implement this revolutionary idea? Hire me immediately, and let's change the gaming world together! 😎 Sincerely, Orbinu (Savior of the gaming world in a modest way)
EA App asking UAC permission at game launch
EA app asks UAC permission/ Admin rights twice every time I need to lauch a game on Windows 11 (even if no update or new content is available... just wanting to launch EA app triggers the request) Specifically, from EALauncher.exe and EADesktop.exe I have set everything connected to EA App and the Sims 4 to run ad admin by default, but for some reason the prompts are still there. It's not possible for me to take screenshots of said issue either. This has happened for a very long time now, but it's starting to get very annoying
