Time Played Rest to Zero since the Update
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!
“You don’t have enough disk space for this update”
Every other time I try to play my game I have some sort of issue, I have to uninstall and reinstall sims 4 every time there is an update. Now I can’t even open the ea app and I’m not getting an option to clear the cache either. I have basically wiped everything on my computer just so I can have my game and it’s still having issues what should I do? I’m on a Mac.
CAN'T LAUNCH ANYTHING ON EA APP
I can't launch any game on EA App, doesn't matter if I launch it on Steam or EA App, older titles like FIFA 12, 13, and 14 can't even launch from EA App, I couldn't even launch BF3, BF4 from steam, all I got are these endless "Launching Game...." windows but nothing happened afterward
PC_inst-3-1920 Error - EA APP unable to update and install
I´m really getting annoyed by the continous EA App and Patch Errors this company delivers. I´ve never had problems in the last 25 Years with any of the other companies apps - Steam, Ubi, Epic etc., only EA is taking me whole weekends and weeks to fix the bugs. The start of BF6 and the patch afterwards have been a desaster. Setup: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16-Core Processor (4.30 GHz), 64GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (16 GB), Windows 11 Pro I´m experiencing this now for over a week, first the app popped up upon launching the computer and told me, that the update doesn´t work. One time the app loaded, I purchased the new bf6 pro season and played. Yesterday nothing worked for me. I´ve been trying several things now, to get this up and running. tryed to repair the app - didn´t work deinstalled the app and swiped the leftover files and tried to install new - didn´t work putting the app in the ms defender preventing problems with the firewall - nothing happened clearing the cache with the EA Tool loading the eabackroundservice manually trying the EAUpdater starting the Programs with admin following all this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0Uz-4TWra0&t=254s installed the newest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable I took an image from 18.07.26, which I made and I tried this 2 times to get the app working again - nothing. I don´t know, what to do now. Hoping the next patch will fix all of this and not playing? wow...Ea app won’t load
So after several attempts and restarts of my Mac computer, my EA app will not load. The computer is hooked up to the Internet. I click on the EA app. I do have the EA app helper thing installed as well but EA app is just a black window. once I did get a little white wheel that said it needed to connect to the Internet, it connected and then it just went black again If I go to force close the EA app, it doesn’t say that it’s not responsive, but it’s just black. I have not updated my game to this latest patch. I was actually starting it today so I could. I don’t have any mods and for cc I have one set of eyebrows installed and those aren’t new.
SWGOH PC client connection error after EA App update
Hi. I have a critical problem connecting to the game through the EA App on PC. Previously, everything worked, and I could switch between my accounts. I used to click the game shortcut directly without waiting for the EA App to fully load, and it synced my profile in the background. Now, after the recent EA App update, the launcher itself loads perfectly, but the game won't start. It gives a connection error and says there is no internet, even though my internet works fine. The game downloads and reinstalls without issues, but it refuses to launch. No network fixes help. Because of this EA App bug, I cannot play and am losing my progress in the current events. Will this be fixed soon, and will there be any compensation? Please help.
Error Code: EC:204 (can't play offline, says "game license has expired")
Whenever EA puts out a game update, I don't update immediately and switch to playing offline for a week or more (depending on how bad it is) while I wait for mods to be updated and for the worst of the new bugs and glitches to be resolved. I've done this since the EA App was released without issue. So the EA App updated shortly before the 7/23 game update and when I went to play offline last night, I discovered I suddenly couldn't. I click on "go offline" and it shows Sims 4 as an installed game, but now when I click play, instead of launching the game offline as usual, I'm getting an error message telling me that the game license has expired and that I need to launch the game to renew the license and gives the Error Code: EC:204. I've never had this issue before. So now I cannot play the game at all as I've seen how lit it is out on the bug report forum and there's no way I'm updating my game right now with all the issues the patch has created. And I can't go "online" with the game without it automatically pushing the update. Is anyone else having this issue with playing offline right now? And is anyone aware of a work around? (Note: I have already logged out and back in, uninstalled and reinstalled the EA App, cleared the cache, restarted my PC, and ensured by XBox and EA accounts aren't linked (they never were).)
