    @lunight13 To confirm currently Steam and EGS do not integrate with the EA App, so if you purchased a game or dlc from either client they will not appear in the newer client.

@NOUSD4BUGS The problem I'm now facing is, I had the EA useless app installed along with Origin. 

When I opened Origin it stated it will soon be shifting to the new EA App.

I tried opening the EA app, where it then gave some options to repair or something, and it removed Origin from my PC. 

So now I'm stuck with the beta EA app, which is a huge pain in the *, and I can't seem to find an Origin Installer file anywhere online ☹️

Even when I did find one, it defaults to the EA app everytime. 

It's like the EA app is some sort of virus, which even after deleting completely still lingers in my pc.

@rynor777 remove EA App, reboot your pc, check for any remnant crap in your temp or application data folders - you may wish to go into safe mode, and download an installer - for me the one from origin dot onl worked.
Install the Origin, start your steam, kill the installed Origin, and launch the game from steam and it should not enforce you to install the new rubbish thing. If NFS-H crashes, then repeat what I said above. Still, the amount of messing about with the useless launchers is mind-boggling.
Sometimes you gotta disable your AV too.
Good luck.

    @NOUSD4BUGS Okay, wow. I followed your advice
    And finally, hallelujah!! Finally the game is working!
    I also discarded the absolutely useless EA app and purged every trace of it from my laptop
    And re-installed Origin, and now all games are working smoothly.

    Thank you so much bro.
    You have no idea how insane this issue was driving me 😅😂

      @rynor777 No worries, I was stuck for ages trying to figure out how to make this stupid game work. As much as I really like NFS, anything that requires launching 3rd party app is usually an instant, fk buying that game, especially if its something like EA App (there are plenty of other devs/publisher that use equally rubbish apps to launch the games, so EA aint alone)
