Hello @EA_Cade ! I appreciate all the info you've provided thus far, do you happen to have any updates regarding in-game editing to work with EA App? It's quite fascinating to hear how clunky it seems to be for you guys to get working being it's software that's still in beta and predates origin! xD Thanks in advance! :D

I also don't know if these replies are properly tagging you, sorry I'm new to the forms. Hope it's not to much of a bother. o:

Like my tag for you.
Your tag for EA_Cade turned blue in my quote, but isn't in your post that I quoted, strangely enough!

@February11, Justin's tag to EA_Cade didn't turn blue as he was still considered a new member at the time he made his posting. So any posts made while he was considered a new member will still look like that even after getting promoted to member...?

Argument 1: It's new, we can't expect perfection

Argument 2: It's the server we use to play our EA games. Perfection is necessery.

Hey all,

We've been in the process of migrating users in waves from Origin to the new EA app on Windows since mid October. You'll eventually see a message like the one above pop up when launching Origin now that the EA app is no longer in Beta.

You can read more about the new EA app on EA.com here, and if you run into any issues or if you have feedback to share please do let us know here so we can take a look and let the right teams know.

I tried to make a bug report about sims medieval no longer being available in Dutch but only in English. the site wouldn't let me. Every time I tried to hit the button to submit my post, nothing happened. Does anyone else have this issue? Do I need to use a specific browser perhaps? I was able to make a post in the feedback section but not a bug report.

RIP Origin
RIP The Sims 2 Store Edition

Today the update of Origin (10.5.122.52971) can't disable EA app popup (MigrationDisabled doesn't work anymore).

History

2005 EA Downloader
2006 EA Link
2007 EADM
2011 Origin
2022 EA app


But Steam from 2003 to now.

So we may have to go through this again in the future? Oh joy

EA is still looking for a buyer (Apple, Amazon, ... ) so it can change again.

Oh my, that doesn't sound very good.

So far it's been ok for me but I expect problems will pop up as they do for others. Again... such a shame we were forced onto an app that still does not function as it should for everyone. and to think most of us used to hate Origin.

For anyone that shares their account with family members, playing in offline mode when someone else logs on might be tricky. For some reason it kept kicking my family member off when I logged in and they said they were in offline mode. Last time I checked we could still share accounts with a trusted family member. It might be not reading the pop up fully on their end.. I haven't had problems with being kicked off on my end yet.

Good to know that I'm not the only one that hated Origin. :#

Ya, it sucks that we are required to use an app that is buggy and causing problems for simmers. Hmm...recurring theme? :p

FYI for anyone experiencing Error 500.

Ahhh, thanks for the heads up. I didn't know that. So I wasn't much help after all ?
That's a shame.

So far I haven't experience too many issues with the EA App, however, there is one thing I found out today while I was playing the Sims 3. During gameplay, the EA App had an error that required me to log in again. It popped up while I was in-game and I was originally going to do so once I was finished. As soon as I clicked on the notification to close it, my game closed to bring up the app. For a second I thought I lost all my progress until I realized it was only minimized.

I'm not sure if this normally happens when something outside of the game comes on the screen and you click it or an EA App thing. Either way, I don't like the app bringing up notifications during gameplay. Unless it is something that is going to affect my ability to play the game I think it should be left until you leave the game or bring up the app yourself.

I think there might be something to turn off notifications in the settings. I could be wrong, but it might be worth a look.
