    EA games will not launch on PC


    There is no error message, they just simply don't start up. Sea of Thieves and Battlefield 2042.

    Fifa works. As does other gamepass game Isonzo.

    Tried:

    - relaunching EA

    - relaunching Xbox

    - restarting computer

    - reconnecting to network

    - resetting network

    - uninstalling and redownloading games

    Help?

    :)

    Starting XBOX app on PC will automatically start the EA app as well

    Hi,

    EA games have to be launched directly via the EA in order to play them. If you launch them on the Xbox App, the EA app will need to run as well to launch the game. This is standard practice with PC launchers.

    For example I own Mass Effect purchased via Steam. But, even if I launch it with Steam, it still loads the EA app. In which case I just launch it from the EA app instead.

    I want a refund

    Yes because games always work at launch on PC. I mean EA and Ubisoft have never had launch issues on PC right?

    Dragon age origins won't launch

    But the question is if you can use the EA app or no, if you can't launch the EA app uninstall it as well as the game, then restart the Pc and install both again

    Starting XBOX app on PC will automatically start the EA app as well

    xbox app does not launch the ea app on my pc, neither does it launch ubisoft or anything else even though all of them are connected, why because i blocked it from doing so, Microsoft have the most intrusive software on the planet.

    they should be like steam, if i start an ea game then it launches ea lite, and when the game finishes it auto closes.

    Hi,

    yea I know. When I start a Ubisoft game via steam, the Ubisoft launcher starts. It does not start automatically the moment I start steam.

    However, for the XBOX app the EA launcher will start as soon as I start the xbox app, not once I start an EA game.

    Right now I don't even have an EA game installed (not via xbox, not outside of it). The EA app only starts if I open the XBOX app.
