Controller support on PC
EA has told me through different support techs that controller support is not available on Origin and EA Play - even for games that support controllers in other PC stores like Steam, Epic, UPlay, GOG, etc which even support wired and wireless PS4 controllers. It’s very strange that I can play EA games on Steam but not on their own platform. Frankly, it’s kind of absurd and embarrassing if this was my company. Am I missing something or does EA just not want our money?
Pop-up in Origin about EA app which can't be closed
Hi everyone. I have been playing Sims 3 through Origin for many years now, but today am having issues. When I open Origin I get a message pop up which says "The EA app is your new home for PC gaming. Now's the time to upgrade. Install the EA app and log in with your EA Account to find all your games waiting for you". As far as I can tell, there is no way of closing this message and so I can't launch/play any of my games in Origin. I have tried EA App twice now and do not want to use it as I had issues with it. I had issues downloading newly purchased games and some games would not launch at all. I will not use EA App if I can avoid it. Is there any way that I can minimise this message and continue using Origin for now?
EA Desktop can't repair downloaded game
I've downloaded Titanfall 2 tonight. Now I can't play because the game files are corrupted. I have to uninstall and download all the 48GB again because there isn't an option to check game files and repair it. Very disappointing, hope that it get this option soon or at least when out of beta.
"EA" Launcher is just the most terrible launcher I have ever used
"EA" Launcher is just the most terrible launcher I have ever used (worst than Ubisoft). The worst part is that it was forced to me if I wanted to keep using the games I had on Origin. It's driving me nuts. Leave a comment/upvote to let the prog teams know.
KEEP EA IN OFFLINE MODE!!!
So I do not have internet access at home, and I used to play sims all day. Now I can't even play my sims, I'm just lucky to have hotspot on my phone to be able to at least start it up, which is limited. When I run out of GB for this month, I have no idea what I'm going to do... I'm so sad, and the reason I even got into the Sims was to be able to have an offline game I could immerse myself into for hours at a time. I DO PUT MY EA APP INTO OFFLINE MODE, but anytime I turn off the PC or have to reboot it, it requires internet connection to open EA therefore access to sims. So no internet connection? No sims ☹️ I honestly do not find the EA user friendly, if anything, IT IS AGAINST THE USER!Option to invite a friend without overlay!?
I don't use origin or EA app in-game overlay. Sometimes it makes problems with game's performance. In Origin there was an option to invite a friend, without overlay -> minimize game, open Origin window, right click on a friend opens a menu and there's an invite option, also a join game option. Just got a mandatory switch to EA app. Where's the right click menu on friends in the friends list!? Thank god he's still able to use origin, so he can join from this exact menu. It's been years and this is a basic feature, which you already had with Origin. Where is the right click menu on friends - for invite game, join game, etc!!!?EA App Is A Complete Mess
Why are we still being forced to use the EA Desktop app if we have the gamepass? It's honestly the most poor excuse for an interface out there. One of the most simple features doesn't even work, being the Remember Me feature. I constantly have to log back in no matter how many times I click to save my name. Another fun new bug is since BF2042 released, I know have to uninstall and reinstall the EA App so my games will download updates, otherwise it just continuously force stops the updates instantly before even calculating the size. I've had this app for a about a half a year now, and I still can't put a desktop icon for any of the games; which also ties in to the fact that I can't play even single player games if I can't get online. It's kind of wild how EA is just openly getting away with releasing content that's not even half finished, and the response is always "it is what it is." This app is garbage. I don't get why EA is chilling on not one, but TWO horrible desktop apps. Absolutely wild.
