EA app and steam

When you run battlefield on steam, it opens origin to load your account or something.

I just installed the EA app and it blocks origin from starting. I though steam would switch to the EA app, but it keeps trying to open origin, and origin refuses to open even after closing the EA app.

Is there a way to play on steam with the EA app?

  • Hey @Temennigru,

    No, unfortunately, the Steam integration is not available yet for the EA Desktop app and will require Origin. The EA Desktop app and Origin can indeed not run simultaneously. However, fully closing either Origin or the EA Desktop app (kill all processes via Task Manager etc. including background services) should allow the two programs to boot separately.
