Re: EA Background Service using Discrete GPU

No update yet? I can't play any game using the EA App because of this issue.

Anyone find a fix yet or is it hopeless?

    @gd119pk3z52h If you are having the same issue, please provide the information above. As Community Managers are not game developers, we have to have the development team(s) look into this for any updates to be made.
