It also could be a problem in the communication between Game pass and the client.
This linking between Game Pass PC Members and EA Desktop is fairly new.
It will probably take some time until all problems are solved.
I understand that it’s fairly new, but what does the link between the two have to do with anything if all of the games are being launched and played through EA?
There must be some form of licensing between the Desktop app and the Xbox game pass.
If this license is not properly integrated it could be the problem.
I saw it happened before with Mass Effect 3, but in the end this is nothing but speculation.
The Game Pass integration is new, there's no reason why integrating that in Origin wouldn't result in bugs too.
Since EA Desktop is going to replace Origin it's rather silly wasting developer time on the Game Pass integration there too. Investing in getting it to work well on EA Desktop will be money spent on something that is going to be used for a long time.
Regardless of whether or not that is the case, licensing should not perfect the performance of games.

Hell, even without a delay it's not acceptable to have an utterly terrible client(EA Desktop app, shouldn't even exist, Origin was fine) and a service that does not work for some users.
I know that this is frustrating, but as said, EA Desktop is still a beta and Game Pass integration is very new.
Problems with such integration are inevitable.
In regards to Origin, I am a member of this board for 9 years, and I can tell you, out of experience, that Origin was not that fine for many users. 😉
Imho this new client was long needed.
Now porting a client with a user base of +100 million and an almost infinite number of different hardware and software configurations and new features, like Game Pass integration, is complicated, to say the least.
