EA launcher

Many people were complaning about games not launching with the EA Launcher recently.

I'm running the game on PC via Steam. In the past, starting the game via Steam opened the Origin launcher in the background.

Yesterday, when starting the game (via Steam), the EA launcher installed automatically and Origin launcher was uninstalled automatically.

I encountered no problems. The game starts and runs just as it should.

Now I am wondering, why so many people had problems and every time I launch the game I'm scared, that the game might be destroyed.

Is it safe to assume that if the change happend flawlessly, I should not encounter any problems in the future?

  • Hi @SharpGoblin,

    It looks you had a smooth experience with the transition between Origin and the EA Launcher, it went seamless for you. Since the EA Launcher installation went smoothly for you, you don't have to worry about future problems related to it.

    As for other people who face issues with EA Launcher, It could also be that the launcher was installed incorrectly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all necessary drivers and updates have been installed correctly before attempting to run the game through the launcher.

  • @SharpGoblin The game itself won't be destroyed, your game files will still be intact if something goes wrong with the launcher (so don't delete the game installations if you wish to preserve them as far as I can tell). For me personally the EA app worked fine for a week or so before it bit the dust, I just can't access them due to the launcher fiasco.
