I'd genuinely love to know why its so hard to allow any characters and letters when using launch arguments. There are commands for games that use a slew of different symbols for commands that EA App are keeping out just because certain characters can't be use. Like you cant even put a path to a folder in because it contains a "/" you know, the thing folder paths use. That's actually a joke. This thread has been up for 6 months and they still don't have this.

The problem isn't that it's a "Nice to have" feature. The problem is that EA decided to completely nuke the origin launcher, for example, without reaching feature parity first. So paying customers who need a specific feature to enjoy their games, which is the whole point of paying for a good game, are stuck between not being able to use the origin launcher anymore, and the EA launcher being beta-quality software (because it'd be too mean to call it alpha software).
I understand that launch arguments/options might not be a high priority. But considering that there are complaints dating back to late 2020 / early 2021, it's reasonable to assume that such an issue should have been handled by now. The least EA can do is to track the progress of that specific issue in the Trello board that was previously posted.

Hey i just wanna say it is a critical feature because i play apex in 1440x1080 already for 2 years so yeah and i need to put certain commmands in to make it work soe now i cant even play the game.+mat_letterbox_aspect_goal 0 +mat_letterbox_aspect_threshold 0 +building_cubemaps "1" this is the command i need to put in
actually Lee, it is. many players need to use lower resolution which then forces us to use stretched resolution which is where the problem lies. launch options are absolutely necessary for many players using stretched res. Every player i know or watch that uses stretched res, uses steam because EA launch options arent an option. i was forced to install EA and cant use origin because of EA. Literally cant play apex now, so it is necessary for many
