xordevoreaux Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Waiting for the day it says: This application has encountered a specified Error. Some day we might tell you what it was. Click OK to reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepitabovethe Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 I uninstalled and I can't reinstall because it says there is maintenance going on in the site, too much traffic. Hoping to hear a solution to this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenBrooks Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Gneral Forum is not the Technical Issues Forum which is at this Link Unspecified Error can be caused by a number of things including a local net issue and is why the Unspecified Error Guide at this Link says if it doesn't help it is best to wait 24 hours initially. As xordevoreaux mentions rebooting the PC is the first step to sort this issue. be aware Unspecified Error is a Streaming (Bitraider) Error only, Worst case Switching Patch methods per this link may get you back up and running ( Note it is a new game install though) Edited January 9, 2018 by OwenBrooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lymphangioma Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) I ran into this little debacle myself these last few days (and at least once prior over the years), and found this link to be of help... https://answers.ea.com/t5/Troubleshooting-Guides-Info/Guide-Unspecified-Error/m-p/5881847#M21 I believe it's the same link as the guy above me. This fixed my log-in problem yesterday... - Open-up 'Task Manager' and then find 'Processes' - From there, just 'End Process' on anything that says 'BitRaider' Edited January 9, 2018 by lymphangioma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, is it the same issue as the title? and have you followed the trouble shoot/advice others have given? A lot of the time, the issue is Bit raider, had to remove it a numbers of times from my laptops because of issues.

Neman_ Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) IS IT A JOKE? IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS SINCE THE FIRST MESSAGE, WE STILL GET THIS ISSUE. WHEN DO YOU PLAN TO SOLVE IT PROPERLY BUT NOT TO RELY ON THE RESOURCEFULNESS OF THE SUBSCRIBERS? Indeed everything EA touches it becomes a crap afterwards. Were waiting for several months to fix skill bugs in FIFA20, the same is here. Edited April 26, 2020 by Neman_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediQuaker Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Some of the time, these problems are caused by outdated and/or glitchy drivers on your end. Make sure Windows and all your drivers, are up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foetal Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I've just had this issue and ending the 3 bit raider processes has resolved the issue. No patching/update or restart needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ismodej Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) It does work sometimes, but not all the times, those who had the issue haven't come back, so hopefully it was a simple fix, and they are happy, and not that they've left or given up Well it just worked for me to get away the unspecified error. And I came back However I won't cheer before the launcher has finished his reorganizing data and patching And I guess an errormessage that is so unspecific could have a myriade of possible causes.

Lorahlei Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 So I just spent 2 hours on this. I have updated Windows 10, Updated drivers for my video card (AMD Radeon RX 5700), uninstalled the game and reinstalled it. Shut off all applications of Bit Raider in Task manager and restarted game. I disabled firewall settings. All of those things do NOT help. I have 5 days left on the subscription and I am DONE. I refuse to pay for a game that should have fixed this months ago. I am sure others have quit too, just not stated it, but honestly, what is the use, when I have to go through all of this just to play. I hope the Devs pay attention to this, but It sounds as though this has fallen on deaf ears the entire time, so I would be surprised if they even pay attention.

Lorahlei Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Glad you posted this OwenBrooks. I actually just came back into the thread to state that I HAD reinstalled using Steam and it is now working. It appears that the fix is just use Steam instead. Annoying, but fixed. I am wondering if they are no longer supporting the streaming services of BitRaider.

Does somebody else have the same problem recently ? Still worked normally two days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
