#1) You can't even control the installation directory, only the directory that games are installed to... are you [removed] SERIOUS EA!?
#2) No launch command options such as using "+fps_max 144" and other useful launch commands for troubleshooting or performance tuning.
(cm edit - updated thread removed language)
@1ManRiotHey go easy on those poor EA devs, they just learned how to write Electron apps -- things you want like passing command line parameters when launching a new process are too advanced for junior developers working on this low importance side-project which nobody is supposed to be using anyway.
/s just in case
@STG_Mordin I actually have to eat some humble pie here. They have added the ability to add additional launch commands... TFG. The fact you cannot choose the install path is extremely frustrating however.
I admit, I was in middle of peaking in my frustrations at the time of my original post.
The only thing Origin and the EA app have ever done for me is stopping me from playing the games I bought and one time even preventing me from buying a game at all. They are clearly completely incompetent at making these things so they should just get rid of them and update their game files to no longer require them. Simply launch through Steam or Epic or whatever like their new Dead Space remake does. It is the biggest and simplest improvement EA could make to their brand.
3) No support for VPN (works fine with origin)
4) No "Move Game" option (there is in Origin)
5) Thinks it is a game that needs to be recorded by nvidia shadow play?!! (Origin never had this problem)
6) No way to pop-out the Friends List (like you can in Origin)
7) Uses MORE resources than Origin?!
If Origin is the poor cousin of Steam. Then the EA (cr) App is.....well it's just garbage!
The fact that the new and improved app uses more resources than its troubled predecessor just breaks my brain. It's just a launcher for crying out loud.
this is the worse app i have ever used, I have had to re install it 5 times in 2 weeks. Each time works ok then i try to load it up and nothing happens, i try to fix the install with there fixer and have about a 50/50% chance it will work, so i just reinstall it and have it work for a few days then do it all over again , like all new apps and software being done today they tie your hands so you cant fix there sloppy and bug written coding. This new gen is a joke, and I am being nice for i do not want to wastes anymore time of this post. EA just cares around there bottom line and will suck all the money they can out of us, take The Sims 4 for eg. every few months they make a explanation and want 54.99 for it, has enough to catch your attention and they write it up to look bigger then it is. Just to find out it has one new item and the rest are just recolored. EA DO BETTER!
