EA, or Electronic Arts, makes some of the finest video games in the world for a variety of platforms and across a variety of genres. However, as good as these games are, they’re not perfect and run into issues occasionally.
In this article, we’re talking about the EA app error code EC10000, its causes, and what you can do to fix the problem.

How to fix EA app error code EC 10000?
Here are eight fixes you can try out.
Power cycle your router
Restarting your router can fix a bunch of seemingly random issues with your network, which could, in turn, be causing problems with EA. If you don’t have internet connectivity or an active connection, you’re going to get such issues on EA. So try restarting your router to rule out any network issues that may be causing problems.
Check EA servers
Another thing you should do is check whether or not the service itself is working or not. EA is used by millions across the globe, and the occasional outage here and there isn’t anything surprising.

Check the Windows Firewall
It’s also a good idea to check whether your Windows Firewall is blocking EA’s connection to its servers. If your firewall is improperly set up or has blocked EA, it won’t be able to connect, giving you this error.Â

Verify game files
Corrupt or missing game files can also cause this error. Follow these steps to verify game file integrity if you’re using Steam.
Step 1: Head over to your Steam Library, right-click on Fall Guys and select Properties.
Step 2: Head over to the Local Files tab.
Step 3: Click on Verify integrity of local files… and let Steam do its thing.
Try running or downloading your game again to see if that fixed the error. If using EA’s custom launcher, verify the game files using the corresponding steps or reinstall your games.

Use the command prompt to flush the DNS
Misconfigured DNS settings can cause a lot of headaches. Here’s how you can reset them.
Step 1: Press the Windows key + R type in cmd, and hit enter.
Step 2: Type in ipconfig /flushdns to reset DNS settings to default.
If the above command doesn’t help, try entering these commands in the Command Prompt one at a time.
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip resetIf you suspect an issue with your router’s DHCP assignment, use these commands to release your old IP and request a new one.
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renewIf this doesn’t work, use the following commands to reset your network stack.
ipconfig/flushdns
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
netsh int ip reset C:\resetlog.txt
netsh winsock resetOnce the stack is reset, restart your PC and try again.
Update your OS
Ensuring your OS is up to date can go a long way in resolving uncalled-for errors in third-party programs, including Steam. Developers usually diagnose these issues based on insider reports or customer feedback and issue fixes or patches in the form of updates. Check to ensure you’ve got the latest update installed on your system.
