How to fix 'Unable to complete EA account sign in (code 100)'

Check the online server status for the game

The first thing to do when you get this error message is to make sure that the issue isn't due to some fault with your internet connection.

  • Add the values: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and click on OK
