[EA] Repair Game
Introduction
Sometimes game files can become corrupt or create issues. Especially after incomplete downloads/installation or game updates, problems can start occurring.
If you have issues in your game or it lags a lot, the first troubleshooting step is to repair your game. This process synchronizes the installation files with the files on the EA server and repairs faulty or missing files. This process can download data but compared to reinstalling the game, it has the advantage of not having to download the entire game again.
Follow Steam instructions if you’re playing the EA game through Steam.
Instructions
You need an active Internet connection. The process can take a few minutes depending on your connection. The progress is constantly shown though. If the process starts to hang, it’s best to click on Cancel or if that doesn’t work, shut down EA App and try again.
