Hi. I’m a NA region (USA) player with EA PlayPro subscription, recently switched to EA Desktop from Origin launcher.
EA Desktop does NOT list nor allow me to download my Battlefield 2042 to collections. Any help would be appreciated.
I was using Origin launcher to launch my Battlefield 2042, but with EA discontinuing Origin, I was forced to switch to EA Desktop launcher.
please help
I'm also a NA region (Hawaii) player with EA Play subscription. I've been happily using Origin for years but now that EA has disabled it I am stuck with the broken EA app.
The EA app does not recognize either Battlefield V or Battlefield 1 as being in My Collection despite having installed them via Origin. This was not a problem with Battlefield 2042 and others. I happily played BFV via Origin just yesterday.
Attempts to add BFV or BF1 to My Collection via the EA app fail. It steps through the usual "Stomping grapes ..." monologue but fails without further comment. Obviously, attempting to download either of these fails as well ("There's a problem with your download").
Attempts to fire up BFV or BF1 directly (e.g. bfv.exe) endeavors to launch the EA app which fails without comment. But if the EA app is already running the error is "You don't have access", suggesting that another user owns the game. Note that I am the only user on this machine and do indeed own the game.
The Origin app should be reenabled until this is fixed. It is unconscionable that EA disabled it knowing that the replacement app was broken: Games-missing-from-EA-App-library-but-available-in-Origin

sure it is. but when you start origin you are forced to uppdate 2 the EA app
Thanks for the reply. As of Dec07 or Dec08 the Origin app looks like the attached. It is prevented from working; I can't figure out how to remove the cover and happily use Origin as before. Thus the irritation for many of us. It seems rash to have disabled Origin when EA app is broken for so many. We'll be owed refunds if this isn't remedied quickly.
I'm on Win11.
Origin launcher went out of service on the 8th. After open Origin it does not allow any games to be launched, but only gives the option to download EA Desktop.
I had similar issues but here is what I've discovered so far as I've solved my own issue.
EA Desktop is not recognizing some EA games as being listed in the EA Play and EA Play Pro subscription service. EA Desktop is not recognizing or adding all of our Origin library games.
Solution I've found for my particular issue regarding EA Play Pro subscription: Downgrade from EA Play Pro to EA Play (regular) > add (Battlefield 2042) to collection > upgrade back to EA Play Pro - game is now accessible and playable.
I have since been able to play and launch Battlefield 2042 without issue with EA Desktop.
I hope this is helpful!
