Re: updating from origin to the EA app has broken all of my frosty mods

@LaidyReign 

EA app is not handling command line arguments in the same way Origin does. To use Frosty with EA app you need Frosty Fix. (FAQ)

    If you start the game from EA app without Frosty or Frosty Fix, does it run normal?

    To make sure, you also trying to play Andromeda?

    Do you play Dragon Age inquisition or any other Frostbite engine game and if so do they work?

    Create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that  with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.

    Go to your "C:\Origin Games\Mass Effect Andromeda" folder and Delete the "ModData" folder.

    In EA app > Click on the 3 lines in the top left > Help > App recovery.

    Restart the pc after the process is finished > Test.

  • Hey I've also got the problem since the app launched. Unfortunately frostfix doesn't work for me- I follow the instruction and it brings up the ea app, but fails to launch the game no idea why.

    burakiichrzan Try this:

    1. Launch the FrostyFix (all fields with red dots should be filled, see image) => FrostyFix will launch EA desktop.

    2. Open the Frosty Mod Manager, select MEA.

    3. Launch MEA from Frosty MM.

    Unfortunately, you should go through all these steps each time you want to play MEA.

    In frosty fix main Window > Click the cogwheel > Settings
    Select "Launch game with Frosty"
    Under "Frosty Installation" navigate to your FrostyModManager installation. (Select the Exe.)
    Under "Custom Game" navigate to your game folder. (Select the Exe.) > Test.

  • Hi, can you help me with this case?

    I launch FrostyFix with this options, but when I click to star the game from EA Desktop, it opens Epic Games and don't continue to launch the game:

    This stop in Link2EA

    It only fix it when I reinstall Epic Games, but I don't want to reinstall the app everytime I want to play the game with mods.

    If you have the game on Epic you should check "Epic Game Store" and not EA app.

    Apart from that, I never played "Battlefront II" with mods, nor did I ever used Epic game store with Frosty or frosty fix, my knowlage is therefore limited here.
