EA App Error Code EC:104 [ Edited ]

[SundayMonday1]

I installed the EA app since orgin is phased out. I cannot get the EA app to load. I keep getting EC:104 then I say restart app and it just stays on the restarting app screen.

For some reason mine was fixed when I realized my clock and date was wrong. Syncing it fixed it

@SundayMonday1 Same problem here... After 3 hours, still not fixed.

I had a same problem guys.
Always wanted to play NFS 2015, waited so long until I could enjoy the game, bought it on Steam, linked my accounts. And I've had the EC:104 error for over an hour.
It's so frustrating to have wasted money for nothing.
I even reinstalled my OS and removed my antivirus, nothing helped! Thanks to those who take my money but don't give me what I paid for. Very disappointed with the service.

@88251e7059aac27e I totally agree to you!
It's kinda frustrating to see how a game works on other platforms like Steam, but not even on the publisher's own platform. I'll switch to steam now, uninstalling the new "EA launcher" forever, I don't have time for this sh*t, always the same problems and every time it says "check your own hardware" instead of confessing that their own servers are trash. They can't tell me anything about less money or developers.

I've been using steam for my sims 4 but when downloading it, it forces you to download ea. It wont work without ea, and I have been having this same error for about 2 days now. So this is legitimately a problem EA is having and is refusing to fix.

@AmethystOui Totally agree. It is blatantly an issue. I’ve been dealing with it since the very start of the launch. Restart app, check WiFi, then it’ll work sometimes, mostly it never even opens the EA app. What a bs thing. Kinda miss origin. Will I have same game files thru steam ?

having the exact same problem but with FIFA 23. It's worked up to now. I have it on steam and whenever I try to start it EA Desktop says error code EC:104, Reinstalled, restarted, everything. Can't even start the EA app by itself. It still crashes with same error.

I have the same problem. It's just not fair how EA treats this kind of problem. I paid for a FIFA game in order to play it, I made the purchase on Steam, but now because of this EA app, I can't even open the game anymore. After I press the restart button it's stuck to 'Connecting to the EA app'.

@AmethystOui Same I've also had this going on for two days, and I have no idea what to do.

I found a solution. You have to install the EA-App Installer again and start it. After that press the repair button. The EA App updates itself and all should be fine. That  worked for me.
