It would be nice to be able to play my games! The EA App we were forced to download doesn't load it's self, let alone my Sims 4.

Great, can you explain to me why I cannot launch Apex Legends second day in a row? Yesterday I contacted your wonderfull support and he told me to wait that your team is aware of this problem (great advice) and 24 hours later EA exrement app is still closing after sign up. Origin was working perfectly. Realy nice job

★★ Guide

@iiN-The-FaCeS The XLS is not visible unless you do the following:

 

"To summarise, you firstly need to go to File Manager, and under the View option, tick the box that allows you to see Hidden Files."

Once you do that, look at your C:\ Drive and you should then see the otherwise hidden folder:

 

C:\ProgramData\

 

Then follow the instructions a couple of Posts further back, partly copied below:

 

"In that you'll see an Origin Folder, open that.

 

C:\ProgramData\Origin\

In there you will see this File:

 

local.xml

 

C:\ProgramData\Origin\local.xml"

Hope that helps.
