Re: How do you make a desktop shortcut?
Okey so i found the .exe file under "\Program Files\EA Games" not "\Program Files (x86)\". Hope this helps someone else with the same issue.
It's outrageous that even with the new EA Desktop launcher this still hasn't been fixed.
Edit: Apparently I was too hopeful, faced the same issue as some others; that even with a shortcut created from .exe file is just opening EA Desktop and not the game itself.
