What it means
EA describes EC:10005 as a network issue: you might be having problems with your home network or internet connection. EA recommends a wired connection for the most stable result, its connection troubleshooting steps, and checking for EA app service outages if that does not help. EA also covers the case where the code appears while the EA app works normally: then you report the issue instead of changing settings. The code points to the network path, not to a fault in the PC.
