EA Play was an exceptionally large waste of money for me...
Hi, I didn't know where else to post this, but I just wanted to warn anyone who is thinking about purchasing a subscription for EA Play (at least off of Steam) to not do it.
I got a month subscription to EA play for $5 and it still feels like a waste of money, as i was only able to play 4/8 games i installed.
- Dragon Age: Origins was the first game that wouldn't launch, however i found a fix with that by downloading a new file and replacing the .exe with it, so i was EVENTUALLY able to play it.
- Dragon Age 2 was next, and never figured out a way to fix that game, and even EA Support was unable to help me after sitting on a support chat for over 2 hours, so switched over to Xbox (as i have to game pass) and played it there.
- Crisis 3 was next, after playing the first 2, generally i'd like to finish off the series, however i never found a way to get it to launch.
- Lastly, i just attempted Mass Effect: Andromeda to give it a chance, and it (yet again) will not launch.
These are relatively big named games that some would buy EA unable-to-Play for, and i felt the need to warn those that will research before buying. I know it's only $5, but that might be a lot to someone somewhere, and it costed me a lot more than $5 worth of frustration attempting to fix EVERY game i wanted to play, and sometimes failing to do so.
On an ending note i should say: yes, i attempted to research ways to launch games off of steam from EA Play, and looked up any issues launching others had and how to fix each game individually EXTENSIVELY. I found out more about Windows programs to do things trying to fix these games than i have ever known in my life, all to no avail.
