FIX the EA App NOW!

So with the release of Season 4 of BF2042 you are now making people switch to the EA App from Origin. The only problem is i cannot launch BF2042 from the EA App cause of some problem on your end, i know its on your end cause launching it through origin has always worked without a hitch. The only fix i have found that has worked is reverting back to an old version of origin and blocking it from updating to EA App with help from this twitter post https://twitter.com/p0358/status/1626811868412010497 and since doing that i can now hit the play button on steam and origin will launch and then BF2042 will launch. With the Ea app if i try to launch from steam it would just launch the EA App and immediately close it like it was launching the game but them immediately re launch the EA App and not launch the game, over and over.  Your EA App is trash, please fix it if your are going to force people to use it.  And before a community manager tries to troubleshoot the Ea App problem i am having, don't bother i have tried every possible solution in all the other threads with this issue and nothing has worked. The EA App is broken plain and simple.

  • Agreed.


    I've never been able to get BF to work through the EA App, always had to revert to Origin.

    Now that you've forced the change as of today .... all I get is this...

    @HotszAUS Disable / Close all other game platforms.
    Make sure those do not boot/start with windows !

    Another work around for youre issue could be to rename current BF2042 folder in DOCUMENTS folder.

    This will set all ingame settings to default, dont forget to reconfigure them

    Cheers

  • Does it still work? I followed instructions but ufortunatelly, doesn't work for me.

  • @DS3DArtist

    The only way I was able to get EA APP to work properly was to uninstall BF2042, uninstall Origin and registry clean all traces of both including delete the BF2042 folder in my documents. Then Download EA APP from EA and install it then the game.

    Hope this works for you too.
  • Thank you, I appreciate your response.

    I will have no choice but reinstalling the game like you did.

    It looks like the Origin workaround doesn't work for all.

  • @DS3DArtist It worked!

    Though, I spent 3 hours downloading the game, the EA app did work in the end after the fresh install.

    Thank you again.
