  • EA Desktop beta is still early and is not yet feature complete. It's probably just a matter of time.

    @doodad_ounao I tried out this method and it looked good but unfortunately it just doesn't work with EA Desktop. The game doesn't run so not sure if I did anything wrong but I pretty much followed your steps carefully. Really wish I can just run the game with dx12 in commands
  • @EA_Jason Guessing no progress still? Looked at the Trello board you linked a while ago and couldn't find anything regarding adding launch options/command line to the EA launcher. No cards, notes, updates, anything. People have been asking for this basic functionality for nearly two years now, but still nothing. Don't send us to a link that doesn't make any mention of the main topic the thread is about just to prove that you're working. This "beta" (seems more like an alpha) shouldn't have been released until it had at least the same base features as the original Origin launcher. Then the beta could have been released and tested by end users to find any bugs and issues, THEN you start adding in new and improved features, better designs, etc. Instead, we are left with a broken launcher that doesn't have the same level of functionality of it's predecessor, uninstalls your games when there's an issue with your Gamepass subscription, crashes games with the in-game overlay, no advanced options that other launchers have, constantly signs users out anytime there's an internet interruption, and many more problems. I understand this is a "beta" so bumps in the road are to be expected, but when progress is so slow that two years still isn't enough time to add in a feature that is available in both Origin and Steam, it's hard to believe that this application will ever be operational. 

  • It's truly remarkable how bad the EA Client is and how little deployment really happens. It's in beta for how long? 4 years? no new features, still slow.

    Just put your games on steam EA.

  • This is absurd - it should have been included in the very first public test, not "added at a later date".  No serious Apex player would use Apex without it, it's just too important to getting good gameplay quality.

  • So this year Origin wont be anymore and this EA App dose not let me add commands? The function is there but anything you add gives an error.

    I play Dragon Age Origins on my PC, and had to add -enabletheconsole to the target line to include the command console to in game play. Ever since the update by EA, it no longer works. Since my game launches from Origin Games, do I need to change that to get it working again?

  • It's truly mind boggling.  You can make the EA App as pretty as you want, that's fine.

    But if it doesn't allow the basic functionality of launch options that's crucial for many games, like competitive Apex and others, it's useless.

  • Still not fixed. Still getting invalid characters 

    In particular trying to add options to MOH AA which under Origin work fine.

    Updating EA app removes Origin so have to keep reinstalling it.
