Before attempting other fixes, check if the EA servers are currently online.

Server outages can lead to this error.

You can visit third party websites or EA’s official website or social media channels for server status updates.

If the servers are down, you may need to wait until they are back online.

Error 721 can occur if there are issues with your internet connection.

Make sure you’re connected to the internet and that your connection is stable.

You can try restarting your modem/router or switching to a different network to see if that resolves the issue.

Additionally, If you are using a VPN, try disabling it as it might interfere with your connection to EA servers.

Switching to a public DNS, like Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), can sometimes resolve these types of errors.

To do so:

Go to the network settings on your PC.
You can search for it if you don’t know the location ‘Network & Internet settings’.
Click on ‘Change adapter options’.
This will open a window with a list of your network connections.
Right-click on the network you are using (either Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and select ‘Properties’.
Scroll down to find ‘Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)’ and click on it, then click ‘Properties’.
In the properties window, select ‘Use the following DNS server addresses’.
Here, you can enter the addresses of a public DNS server. For example, Google’s public DNS is 8.8.8.8 for the preferred DNS server and 8.8.4.4 for the alternate DNS server.
Click ‘OK’ to save your settings.

Then, restart your browser or PC to ensure the changes take effect.

Sometimes, antivirus software or firewall settings can block Origin from connecting to EA’s servers, leading to error 721.

Temporarily disable your antivirus/firewall software and then try launching EA again to see if the error persists.

To do so:

Disabling Antivirus:

Windows Security (Windows Defender):

Open Windows Security by searching for it in the Windows search bar.
Click on “Virus & threat protection.”
Under “Virus & threat protection settings,” click on “Manage settings.”
Toggle off “Real-time protection” to temporarily disable Windows Defender.
If you are using a third-party antivirus software, you may need to open the antivirus program and look for options to disable real-time protection or firewall temporarily.

Disabling Firewall:

Windows Firewall (Windows PCs):

Open the Control Panel from the Start menu.
Go to “System and Security” and then click on “Windows Defender Firewall.”
In the left pane, click on “Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off.”
Select the option to “Turn off Windows Defender Firewall” for both private and public networks.
Click “OK” to save changes.

After that, try to run EA again and check if the error persists.

If you’ve tried the above steps and continue to encounter error 721, it’s recommended to contact EA Support for further assistance.
