EA Dekstop Cheat report issue

As the title says, I came across someone that needed to be reported earlier and when I went to report them, the game told me I needed to use the Origin overlay. How can I use the Origin overlay if I don't have Origin installed? I'm using the EA Desktop app. This means if you play the game via Xbox Game Pass for PC there is no way to report players in game. Origin doesn't recognize the EA Play membership you get from Xbox Game Pass for PC, so using Origin is not an option.
Are there plans to address this and put an actual reporting function directly in the game? I can't believe it's not already a built in feature for as long as this game has been out.
- @Beneffit Your problem has been posted and answered by an EA community manager just a couple days ago: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports-Technical-Issues/EA-Dekstop-Cheat-report-issue/td-p/10301534
It looks like you are out of luck for now. For now you will have to report them outside the game. For example you can create a case at https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/ and report them that way manually. However, that is quiet tedious.@N4v1s Thanks for the info but by the time I was out of the game I had no idea what the persons username was. It was one of those with a bunch of capital I's and lower case L's mixed in with numbers. No way I could tell what it said out of the game. And since we have no recent players list in game, it's impossible to report them now. They were being racist and harassing people.
- @Beneffit There is still an option, if you are willing to go the long route to report them. You can go on this BFV stats page: https://battlefieldtracker.com/ There search for your own ingame name. On your own stats page, there is a tab called "Game Reports", where you will find a summery for every round you played. Go to the one where you encountered the person you want to report and look for their name.
