Re: How to disable EA App/Launcher Opening/Appearing when I close EA games

I would like the same feature that origin has where if i start the game from a shortcut ea app doesnt open for no reason and re open again after i close the game. This being a toggle called show origin after gameplay.

I dont know why there are still important features missing like this missing from the replacement for origin because origin is still better than the ea app.

    @KANYE_SOUTEAST 

    Click on the 'Show hidden icons' button at the bottom right near the clock and then right click the app and then click Exit.

    Thanks.

  • No, I guess that is not what he meant. It doesn't matter if the app is running or not in "hidden icons", we just want the app not to show ENTIRELY (new window open) when we close a game.

  • @EA_Barry , so I launch BF:2042 from my desktop through the Steam link. When I close out of the game the EA App opens up. Is there a way to prevent this? It's kind of annoying.
  • @EA_Barry then you can not open/run games... if we close the app. we need an option to stop the app from popping up whenever we change server in BF games. Don`t need the app popping up for every action we make in games... - here to play not pray
  • Please make it stop!
    It's so intrusive and annoying at this point that it makes me think twice about even playing BF2042.

    I don't need to be reminded every time that yes, the app is installed and yes, it's inferior to all it's competitors (including the crappy Epic Games Launcher).

    Edit:
    The only thing it does is that it reminds me of to actually exit out of the app and close all background tasks it's working on.

    Hi all,

    The feedback about this has been passed on to the EA app teams. Unfortunately, that's all we can do here through the forums.

  • I don't understand, with xbox game pass you MUST have installed ea app to play ea games, xbox game pass only worked with ea app and not with origin, that was too annoying because steam only worked with origin, and in top of that, you just can't have opened both of them. That was not enough, all the negative feedback to erase ea app and focus in origin that through all the years started to become something not so hateable, i just can't understand why you pushed this, nobody wants this.

    Hey @Kasparine,

    It doesn't sound like this has something to do with the EA app feedback that is being discussed in this thread. Please keep it on-topic.

    A small correction to your post where you mention that Steam only works with Origin; this is not the case.
  • Maybe this already discussed, but is any way to start ea games logged in windows logs? For example "..event 10987 exe started, 10988 - stopped" - it gives us way to auto kill all ea running garbage like this malware popup window.

    When is this issue being fixed ffs... The topic has been up since December! This is intrusive, annoying and completely not welcomed! Passed to dev team excuse is cheap and not sufficient. Do your jobs for at least once!

  • This is honestly just so annoying, I despise this app so much. It just does everything that you don't want a game launcher to do. It pops up after a game, it doesn't remember that you want it to start in your library but instead pushes it's stupid adverts at you, it is just barebone and yet pushed to be used as if it's actually finished, it has useless features in the settings menu. It's just everything that people hate about game-launchers and I really want to uninstall it but I can't.

    @Keeboard-Cowboy I agree with you a million percent, EA has lost it's touch with their customers. The EA app does everything a pushy three year old would do when it wants candy and boy are those EA execs horny for some candy.

    So it's another month and another lack of ANY update or info. This is literally the only launcher with this in it. Your devs and at this point your moderators should be ashamed. You don't improve the app you don't respond to questions. If this was any normal workplace you would get fired on spot due to how you treat your customers.
