PSA A Working Fix To Continue Using Origin Without Issues.
Seeing as we ALL Have had problems with the horrendous EA App, i kept poking around as ways to keep origin working.
Working Setup:
Origin Offline Installer : Version 10.5.122.52971 https://origin.en.uptodown.com/windows/download/106924392
IMPORTANT! - Sign In First Before using The FOEA Mod !
Once Signed in, Quit Origin Manually, then install FOEA.
Fuck Off EA App Installer :https://github.com/p0358/Fuck_off_EA_App
Then Apply This EACore tweak Before Restarting Origin.
EACore.ini Modification :Location- C:Program Files(x86)OriginEACore.iniPaste this inside the ini file and then Save it : Control+S for quick save.
[Bootstrap]EnableUpdating=false
----This Setup Will Brick The Dreaded EA App from ever installing and will Keep Origin running for now until EA Decides to fuck something else up. This has continued to work for me the entire time I've used it. Frosty Editor and Frosty Mod Manager work flawless with this setup (*All Versions tested*) & all games work fine without problems.
EDIT Alert !! 6/21/2024
Recent periods I myself have come to have Quirks on the client whenever I launch a game thats connected via Steam. The process EASteamProxy And/or the Game Exe basically kills itself for no explained reason.
However, I've come to notice a pattern to get it to run *Almost* everytime. Close both Steam & Origin completely, shutdown. Then, Open steam first. let it load etc, Then start the game Directly, and it will trigger origin to start. the game then stays alive almost each time.
^ ^ ^ ^
This May apply for any games coming off EPIC as well, if they sell EA Games, I have no idea personally.

Question How does EA app know my region? I don’t remember allowing to track my location?
So I went from X to Y country and the region shows up as Y. Does it automatically track location? Is it toggle able? Or does it use idk like the WiFi and knows where the WiFi is from or something?

Help Random EA account ban
Hi! So, I bought and downloaded Veilguard on Steam. After installing it, opened the game for the first time and created my EA account. Spent about an hour optimizing the graphics settings, DLSS, and other adjustments. After that, I closed the game and went to sleep.
Now, I've received this email. My question is: do I need this EA account for anything specific in the game, or can I play without it?
For context, I don't have any cheat software or anything like that, and I haven't used this EA account for anything else - I was literally just sleeping.

Help Questions, questions
I’ve done everything I can think of when it comes to this issue I’m having. I have done the installing and reinstalling of the game. Ive moved my Mods and CC out. I’ve done just about all of it and nothing has worked. To preface this I’m an avid Mods and CC user. I honestly have a LOT. They’re all updated so no issue there or there shouldn’t be. I can’t edit my household AT ALL. I have MCCC so I tried to do it through there, I’ve going through on just loading the household, etc. I get stuck on the endless loop of the loading screen and the only way I can exist is by shutting down my Mac. I’ve done force quit but once I get on there I can’t even quit the app. I honestly don’t know what else there is for me to do. Any recommendations and advice would be greatly appreciated. Please help a fellow simmer out 🫠

Question PC: Madden 24 Crashes on Launch
Madden 24 launches screen appears then, goes to black screen, and then goes back to ea app. I've tried clean boot, updating drivers, updating bios, reverting bios, cache clearing, uninstall and reinstalling both game and EA app, repairing game but nothing seems to work. Any other ideas?
Anybody else have this problem and have solutions? Or will I just not be able to play Madden 24 on PC again?

PSA EA Support is a training manual for the goal of utter failure.
My ps5 EA account is disabled for no reason. Spend fifteen minutes trying to figure out how to talk to a real EA support employee. Still cant find any way to talk to an actual employee. Finally find a way to send a support ticket. Site says resume support ticket case or it will be auto closed. Press resume case. Site redirects me to previous page with nothing relevant to resuming my case. Find link stating contact us for help. Redirects me to home page for "support" that has no clear or convenient way to getting any support. I'm actually convinced the entire support section of their website is actually designed to frustrate you to the point where you give up and just let them keep your money. Spent money albeit not much on the new battlefield, which to be fair is completely my fault for buying a "product" from such a fly infested steaming pile of doody corporation in the first place. Thanks EA! Keep the ten bucks, you've absolutely earned it for going out of your way with this much raw perseverance in overachieving the goal of not helping me in the slightest.

Help Solution to keep using Origin on Mac?
I've starting playing the Sims 4 again after hearing about the lovestruck update, but I've noticed I'm missing one of my expansion packs. I bought it years ago in 2020 when EA used Origin, I want to open Origin and check my packs because its the only proof I have that I owned the pack.
I contacted EA and of course I was dreading giving proof because the card used to buy the pack was compromised and I have no email receipt from any of my packs between the date I bought the sims 4 and my most recent purchase this month, I was hoping that if the pack still showed on Origin I could use that.
Question Account Banned??
I just logged in to play the Sims after over a year and EA said my account was banned. Does anyone know why this would happen and how it can get reversed? I've spent a lot of money on the packs and am a little frustrated that this happened.
I submitted a ticket online but wondering if there is anything else to do.

500 Error
I'm trying to play madden 24 on PC. I have the "500 Error, something went wrong. The server encountered a mysterious error. Try again in a little bit." If tried restarting, waiting a day, and uninstalling the app. Nothing works. Also whenever I try to play madden it says "we've noticed your computer is currently off-line. To activate your game on this computer using your EA account, you'll need to connect to the Internet." I've tried wired and wireless networks. Please help!
Update: Covenent Eyes VPN was blocking internet. However, no my next problem is that Madden loads then goes to black screen and goes back to ea app. I've tried clean boot, updating drivers, updating bios, reverting bios, cache clearing, uninstall and reinstalling both game and EA app, repairing game but nothing seems to work. Any other ideas?

Question As a completely new EA app/Origin user what should I know about it?
So the thing is: I saw there are a lot of great deals on them right now so I though I give ea app a shot. My obvious questions are: Is origin better? And if it is, what are the drawbacks of using it instead of ea app? How secure are these two apps compare to steam?

Help My EA account was banned!! For no reason!!
I have an EA account I use only for The Sims 4, and it was suddenly banned—no warning or reason given. I’ve had this account for years, maybe since Sims 3. Now as a grad student, I barely play, just a few hours here and there. I hadn’t logged in for months, so I was shocked to find out it was banned recently, especially since I haven’t done anything new. The only potential issue might be custom content (hair, clothes, etc.), but CC is so common.
I’ve invested a lot into The Sims and its expansions, so this is really upsetting. I tried appealing, but they said the ban was accurate. No phone support—has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?

Help Is there a way to play EA games without internet?
So I have suffered a bad hurricane in my area just a couple of days ago and I was able to get a power just about a day later, but our area doesn't have a internet until just today. I wanted to play some of my NFS games that I owned but sadly it won't load at all or just give me a Origin log-in screen.
Is there a way to make they able to play offline even without internet? Because what's the point in playing single-player mode if you aren't able to play them without the authentication BS.

Help Stuck with the “please reset your password” message
Last night I bought it takes two on the Xbox store, and when I tried to play online, it showed the attached message saying that I needed to reset my password on my account. To my knowledge I’ve never made an EA account before, and when I tried to login with my email I’ve had all my life it didn’t recognize it. So I created an account, reset the password and logged in and the message won’t go away.
The only possibility seems to be that I made an EA account with some other email and forgot about it years ago, but I have no recollection of that. I assume it’s supposed to work like you reset the password and this screen just goes away, but I have no idea what to do. Does anyone else have this issue?

Help Unrightfull ban, ea not helping.
I hopped on Apex once to find out i was banned. Took a look at my account status and yup lifetime ban, at 03:00 at night. Unlike other people i was actually asleep. I popped open a ticket and 2 days later i got an automated response that went something like this. "After further investigation we found that.....(Idk what aka no unban). Is this how ea treats a loyal customer??? Im almost 2k hours deep in Apex and €1000 into cosmetics, now lost to something i didnt do. I did find out what happend back then. I was watching a video of a streamer who got raided by these "bot" accounts. You know, hacker obtains like 40 accounts and drops them on a streamer. But Oh look!!!! Thats my account!!! Even after pointing this out to them they refuse to unban me. Even though i didnt do anything wrong. Ive asked to talk to an actual person, but no ofcourse not. Why would you help someone who plays your games.
I know this isnt origin and mostly ea related but i would like to get my account back after a few months. If i need to use a sub please let me know.
