My two games that are linked to my EA account are now unplayable.
So i was playing an EA game on steam and randomly it said it was disconnected to the EA servers while i was playing, so i thought it was just a random bug. After that the game froze and now whenever i try to open it i come across this error: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2049751406386939058/950E173BC42141BCC5EF23CEF70019C0435B2E0A/
This happens for my other game EA game, the same type of error pops up when i try to open it. I've tried reinstalling both games but it didn't help.

Also, the 2 linked EA games still have their files intact. I'm pretty sure it just won't run without EA.

The major issue is that after this i found out that everything EA related on my computer was deleted. I have no idea why it was deleted randomly, i'm pretty sure it has something to do with my 2 games linked to EA not working, but i am still very confused. I really would like some help on this, thanks.

Well reinstalling the games would presumably re-download the required EA launcher, maybe verifying the game integrity might do that too.

Alternatively you could just install the EA launcher yourself and see if that will work. Naturally if the launcher is required, regardless of why it got deleted, uninstalled, or damaged, getting everything back in place where it needs to be would be the solution.

Out of curiosity, which EA games?

Just realized i just had to reinstall the EA launcher and there was an option to repair broken files. Idk if anything was broken previously because it was 100% fine before. I probably should have done this before i created this discussion, but i still want to know why it uninstalled EA from my computer without any warning whatsoever.

Both games that had this issue were Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 Deluxe Edition
and Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville.

Also another thing to note is that i was playing Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville when it happened, and i'm not sure if this is associated, but 5 minutes before this happened i encountered a hacker in the game. And it wasn't a script kiddie too, it was a real hacker. Some minutes later after i encountered the hacker the game froze and when i tried to boot it back up it said the servers disconnected, and when i tried to open it back up again, i got the error message & the EA stuff on my computer broke. So it's kinda weird that they both happened at the same time, they might be associated.
