Re: How do you disable cloud save on new EA app?

That's exactly what happened to me, too. Also, my inquiry to the HELP desk netted a link that brought me back to the same page I'd already tried with no actual answer to my question.

When I tried to play the game, I was forced to download the new app and Origin was uninstalled automatically. However, I have Origin on an older PC and I just opened the Origin launcher (yes, it was Origin and NOT the new app). It allowed me to access the Game Properties option and to uncheck the Cloud Save box for all available games. I am hoping that this will work on my newer PC when I log on the next time--my fingers are crossed. I know that not everyone has an older second PC, but just in case, I wanted to share this possibility.

@TCNibbles Same here, when trying to launch a game and exit EA App it takes a very long time to process, I bet it has something to do with the Cloud Saves. I wish they would have developed this feature further before launching EA App, it is unfinished

Well, it worked until EA decided to make the EA App install a pop-up that could not be canceled. While I had Origin working I went in and deleted a vast number of Cloud saves I had so the new app is working for now. Still no option in the new app to turn off Cloud saves.

I have switched over all my EA games to Steam, but I still have to use this (sh*****) app that has a problem with cloud saves. I don't need your cloud saves; I have my own cloud that I save my saves to. If we still have to use your (St*****) app to play games that were bought somewhere else then give us back ORIGIN!!!. Just to let you know I also own a copy of each of the games with EA but because of your app I went and bought them on steam thinking I would not need your St***) app.
GIVE US BACK ORIGIN IT WORKED!

I'm tired of this nonsense. There's NO excuse for the EA APP to be this bad - especially coming from a company as big as EA.
I'm playing through Jedi Fallen Order again. Nearly every time I exit the game there's some sort of 'cloud save error.' Then if I start the game again, the EA APP will claim that there are NO LOCAL SAVES. Fortunately, the app is wrong - my local saves are perfectly fine. Considering that I just completed Ilum and got back to Dathomir, I'd be pretty mad if something happened to my saved game.
Do you know what a good programmer would do? A good programmer would add a button to 'Resend save game data' that we could click. But nope, not here. Evidently, EA decided to go the cheap route when hiring software developers.
Where's the option to add a desktop shortcut to a game that's installed? Where's the option to move a game to a different drive or location? You know what launcher is better than the EA APP? Every one! Even Ubisoft's launcher allows me to add a desktop icon for an installed game. Ubisoft!
Considering that EA can't seem to fix something as simple as cloud saves, I doubt I'll ever see those options in the app. Fix this EA, this is ridiculous!
