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!
What more can I add to what has already been said? The app doesn't work. Plain and simple. How long will it take them to fix this issue?
I don't know but they cut Origin way too soon. They should have let it ride another couple years while hey figure out the kinks.
Just throw in an observation.
For the TLDR folks, the app appears to check that games pass a set of criteria before allowing them to launch. If the EA app is online and the game has an online component then the app expects the game to be able to reach remote servers, if it can't the EA apologizes profusely for having a problem at THEIR end instead of allowing the user through to play the game offline.
Just playing about with getting games working in Linux (using EA App accessed through Steam and, while working through issues I came across problems with Mass Effect and Crysis 3. Specifically the new Admin Access button which came in with the new app and the total failure of the games to launchafter allowing the access. Went back to my Win 10 install and the same problems exist (previously worked fine). Further digging revealed that both games try to talk out to the internet when launched (guessing they are trying to access online servers recently shut by an unnamed company). With the EA app set offline Crysis 3 was able to launch and I could access the campaign mode, Mass Effect wasn't having any of it.
I could be wrong but I suspect the EA app development may have been funded by the Steam folks as a way of making Steam look almost half useful.
