[UPDATE] EA app Friends List, Invites, Cross-Play — What's Going On
Hi all, For last few weeks, the right side of the EA app is in indefinite loading screen. My profile pic, status and friend list are a part of this infinite loading screen, PFA. Because of this, in game friends who are online don't show up as well as I don't show as Online for my friends. I have no issue playing the game but I am no longer able to play with my friends. Tried the following but nothing helped: App uninstall and re-install. Delete reg edit entries, clear local data after EA uninstall and reinstall. Delete Apex legends and EA app, delete all involved folders, local data, reg edit entries and reinstall. Restart router. Also tried installing EA app in D: drive(custom location) but it keeps installing in C: drive. Not sure if this helps though.
Can’t uninstall Battlefield 6 Single Player and HD Texture Pack on EA App
Hey everyone, I’m having an issue with the EA App when trying to uninstall Battlefield 6 Single Player and Battlefield 6 Single Player HD Textures. Here’s what happens: I open the game’s Manage Add-ons section. I deselect both Single Player (17 GB) and Single Player HD Textures (8 GB). Then I press Update Install, but nothing happens — the app doesn’t uninstall them, and no storage space is freed. I already tried restarting the app, repairing the game, and even rebooting my PC, but the issue remains. It just refuses to remove those two components. Can someone from EA please check this out? Or if anyone has found a fix, I’d really appreciate your help. Thanks.
EA App suddenly stopped opening on Windows 11
Hi everyone, About two days ago, the EA App suddenly stopped opening on my computer without any apparent reason. Until then, I was able to play my games normally, but now, when I try to launch the app, nothing happens — no error message, and the interface doesn’t show up. What I’ve tried so far: Ending all EA-related processes in Task Manager and trying again Adding an exception in the antivirus and even disabling it Running as administrator Changing compatibility settings Running EA App Recovery and EA App Update Submitting a report using EA Error Reporter (I have the ticket ID) Completely uninstalling and reinstalling the EA App Rolling back the latest Windows updates Still, the issue remains. Interestingly, the EA App appears as a running process in Task Manager, but the interface never loads. Even when trying to launch a game directly from its shortcut, neither the game nor the EA App starts. Additional info: Windows 11, version 24H2, build 26.100.3624 I work in IT and have technical knowledge, I’ve tried many solutions before reaching out here. No system changes or suspicious installations occurred between the time it was working and when it stopped. I honestly don’t know what else to do. If anyone has faced this issue or knows of a fix, I’d really appreciate your help!
EA app shows me prices from a different country
Made my first purchase through the EA app and I had a panic attack seeing it charged me 3 times more than what was advertised in the app. Turns out the app was showing me prices from a different close by country that uses the same currency name. After calming down I decided to keep what I bought without asking a refund but still... I hope this will be fixed as it's something that's really important. I talked about this with an agent through EA help, and they said the prices I see depends on my region settings. So I checked where my region is set to and it already says my region correctly. Yet it shows me prices from that other country. Now that I know about this I will be careful making any future purchases but for anyone else's sake I'm making a request to please use ISO 4217 Currency Codes so we know the app is talking about a different currency. Thank you for any attention you give to this matter.
Technical Incident Report: EA App Storage Pre-allocation & Verification Failure.
Subject: Critical Failure of Disk Space Requirement Logic for EA GAMES 1. Executive Summary The EA App's current installation and update architecture utilizes a "Hard Pre-allocation" check that prevents users with limited disk space from verifying existing game files. This creates a recursive loop where the software demands 100% of the game’s footprint in free space, even when 95% of the data is already present on the drive. 2. Identified Technical Flaws * Collision of Checksums: The EA App fails to perform an initial "Delta Check" (scanning for existing data) before triggering the "Disk Space Required" block. * The "Double-Space" Requirement: For a games, the app frequently mandates a "buffer" of additional free space. This forces users to maintain nearly 110 GB of total footprint for a 50 GB game. * Background Service Deadlocking: The EABackgroundService.exe maintains active file handles on game directories even when the app is "closed," preventing users from manually moving or renaming folders to resolve space conflicts. 3. User Impact (The "Loop") * User has the game files (50 GB) and 40 GB of free space. * App requires a "Download/Update" but checks for ~56 GB of empty space. * App blocks the "Verify" or "Repair" function because the space check fails first. * User is forced to delete the game to "free up" space, only to be forced into a full 50 GB re-download rather than a simple 5-minute file verification. 4. Proposed System Requirements * Differential Patching: Implement a system similar to Steam or Battle.net that scans existing headers before calculating required space. * Soft-Allocation: Allow the "Download" button to trigger even if space is low, provided the "Verifying" process can reduce the final download size. * Service Release: Ensure the EA Background Service releases file hooks immediately upon App Exit.
