email verification code

I had to delete and reinstall the app so I had to log back in and it asked to send a verification code except I never got one no matter how many times I tried, I attempted to find help but all it said about was contacting them on the website which I can't do since I can't log in anywhere as I can't get a verification code. Is anyone able to help I've already checked and I don't have them blocked there's nothing in any other folder

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!

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?

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?

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.

Mad Max Key?

doubt I'll get help as it appears people rarely receive the help they need here but.

I downloaded mad max off nexus games and come to find I need origin download origin, it doesn't work, go through the process to make it work, boom I need a game key to even run the game??

would there be one in the install files? why would someone post a game to download if you'd need a key.

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?

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.

Question - If I were to cancel my EA membership and buy Bf4 on Steam, would my progress be transferred?

That, or generally any game I own with my EA membership.

I can't add cards as payment method on EA

https://preview.redd.it/c9zs93sh7jwd1.png?width=986&format=png&auto=webp&s=b05d6ad414ae5c25ab3db82aaae341b6ed747b40

The image is just for reference, is the same error btw but is just one that I got from internet.

I'm trying to add a card in order to pay ea play pro, but I can't do it. I reached ea help but there just didn't help, they say that is an issue with my bank.

the situation is that I tried a lot of cards (maybe thats the reason?) and none of them worked. I used the same card that was rejected on my account but on another EA account and had 0 issues, so I know that is my account and not the payment method.

¿someone know what I can do in this situation? I don't want to start again on a new account and lose all progress

PS5 controller not working on BF1 after 22 Oct anti-cheat update.

I was connecting my PS5 controller to my pc with the help of DS4 Windows after the update but then an error shows from game saying "this app can not run alongside BF1 (DS4 Windows)". I think that anti cheat is detecting DS4 as threat. Any suggestions??

My EA Account has been hacked

I've contacted EA about my account being hacked, and they have done nothing to help me. I've given them all the information about the account. They have done NOTHING to help me get my account back. I don't know what else to do, if anyone has a solution please let me know

Banned for No Reason

So I am a big Battlefield player and I know there's a lot of hate towards EA, and even Battlefield with BF2042 launch shitting the bed a couple years ago. I haven't played in a few months and I logged in for the first time today and it said my account was banned, with no reason given other than to read the community guidelines and terms of service.... sure. I guess this puts me at the end of my EA support and will no longer be able to purchase games even if I wanted to. Good job EA!

EA Bans me for no reason on Apex Legends

Recently my Apex Legends Account got banned. I've been inactive in the game for months and habe only played once in a while. On Sunday I got kicked out of the game with an alert for having my account banned. I filed a request on ea help but it got quickly declined for cheating on apex legends. Which is completly insane, since I haven't even played the game and not using any cheats at all.

I also stated in another case request, that my account could'be been hackend since I have used a compromised password and no two-factor-authentification. This also got ignored an the case got closed.

I've read a ton of similar complains on reddit and the apex forums about this. All of them cant explain them how they got banned. I hope this post is suiting the rules of this subreddit and I might find people sharing the loss of their hard earned progress and well spent money on their accounts. What are your recommondations on this?

Is this normal? and how to unlink? there's no options.

So, I've got a bunch of old PSN accounts connected to my super ancient Origin account. All mine, though!

Why I’m being constantly logged out from ea account on ea fc

Every time I want to play the game I need to log in in to my ea account and proceed it with verification code. Also when I go in game to settings to check status of my ea account. It’s shows me my old email address which I did change to actual one. Anyone have any idea ?

anticheat and steam deck?

So I bought both plants vs zombies garden warfare 2, and wrc 10 years ago (edit: meant one year ago not 10) I checked steamdb for compatibility which both were reviewed multiple times as functional. Now that I've tried to run it on steamdecks linux based system however has been impossible, as to actually start up the game due to their new kernel level anti-cheat will just either immediately close them or send a crash report. Is there any way to somehow disable this anti-cheat so I can actually have access to the singleplayer content of these games I paid for?
