Re: Poor experience so far with new EA App

Problem is that EA thinks its working fine and therefore are going to force this mess upon us.

I have used this app for a week now and have also all sorts of issues.

In addition to the things you mention I have these issues:

-lags when moving around on desktop

-updating games takes 3 times longer than in origin

-repairing games take 2 times longer than origin

-repairing app fixes nothing (nothing like clearing cache in origin)

-around 5-10 lower fps in battlefield 2042

-resizing resets when closing app

-no way to resize game icons only

-no way to opt out of ea's data mining

-no fps counter

-no way to personalize notifications from friends list

-app minimizes itself when launching games hiding friends list

-app sometimes opens cmd when launching games

-I sometimes appear as invisible on friends list even though I never choice that

Game related that only happens in EA app and are major issues. These does not happen in Origin.

-games keeps crashing and freezing (tested battlefield 2042, Fifa 2023 and F1 22. )

-games keeps randomly "clicking" buttons by itself. Its really bad in Battlefield 2042

-games crashes randomly when alt + tab

-games have 5-10 less fps when using EA app. (Measured with third party tool since ea app doesnt have its own counter. In battlefield 2042 used console command to show fps.)

Note I have tried most "fixes" like reinstalling game, resetting settings, repair. recovering ea app etc. even tried to reinstalling gpu drivers, mouse and keyboard etc. But since this is only happening if playing from EA app and not in Origin its pretty clear what causes the issues. Hint: its blue

So in short I'm back using Origin since all of the issues above is not present in Origin.

However I'm really looking forward to being forced to deal with all of those game related issues in the near future...

So just like OP I too am wondering when we can expect this app to work properly.
