When will EA APP replace Origin as the definitive platform?

hey EA or Admins or whatever...

I have the same problem mate.

I can't play EA Steam games with this...

I mean EA desktop is Beta but is ok, but its BETA

You can force us to download when its complete and perfect App, not like this

Thank you for all you have done for gaming community, but You harming yourself EA

Better Fix It.

Well, I guess EA Darko and I are the only two people who still use Origin. I have the EA App installed but I don't use it, I'm still using Origin.  Have any of you TRIED to simply reinstall Origin?

When you do a clean install of Origin, it forces you to upgrade to the POS EA app.

today out of nowhere forced me to use ea app too, worst company ever, i made the mistake to buy the worst game ever fifa 23, first and last ea game i will ever buy, every day you come up with a new way to annoy and frustrate us, i hope next year fifa makes a decent game and ea without the name goes out of business. the greed, the bugs, the incompetence, the total lack of care for customers, you really are the worst in the business.

Hope it helps

i cant launch fifa 23 using ea app, orign is the only solution for me. Now, They force user to use ea app😂

So....EA client is a hot bugged mess. But, you can continue using the Origin Client......here's how;

The update to the EA client is problematic for a lot of people for a bunch of their games. Solution is to re-install the Origin client and apply a fix to it. After having installed the EA client, it uninstalls the original Origin client. But, you can get the last good working Origin client installer on TechSpot;
https://www.techspot.com/downloads/5783-origin.html

Keep the EA client app as it's needed for verification in some games. But, you'll want to change some of it's settings. Disable 'start with Windows. Change game install directory to the Origin clients game install directory... \Orign Games. Link steam if you have games bought through Steam for EA/Origin client. Restart PC after all this so all these changes are saved in Windows Registry.

Now install the Origin client, log in....it'll self update and softlock due to that stupid EA client notice. That's ok. Close out Origin client. Run task manager and kill the Origin web helper service.....it keeps running in background. Now open file explorer and change view settings to 'show hidden system files and folders.'

In the C: drive, you should now see a folder called "Program Data." Open it and go to the Origin folder.......

Stop origin client loading EA app message;

1. Open C:\ProgramData\Origin\local.xml in notepad
2. Add new key there:

<Setting key="MigrationDisabled" type="1" value="true" />

This should go at bottom just above the last line which is "</Settings>."
Save the file and exit. Now launch Origin and that stupid notice will be gone. Exit and Restart your PC again to finalize settings.

Congrats...you should be able to play your games properly now.

If a game is not working correctly, click it in Origin client library, click the gear icon and select 'Repair.' If it still doesn't seem to work, try uninstalling and re-installing.

If it's a game bought through steam, you'll install it using steam. Then launch Origin client, select that game in the library.... it'll show a 'download' button still. Click it, Origin will find the steam install and change the button to 'Play.' Always play your games using the Origin Client and the 'play' button for that game in the Origin client library. Some games will work properly using the desktop shortcut but, others will try an launch the EA client.....which we know can be problematic for some games. Still, some games maybe throw errors if you don't have the EA client background task running so, for those, run the EA client, minimize it, then use the Origin client to launch the game.

Special thanks go out to user @tom_looken for pointing me to the code line for fixing Origin client.
