@GiardiniDiMarzo I’m also being forced to move to the new EA app now. I’m so upset I’ve heard nothing but terrible things. The app not opening at all and if it does open many people’s games disappeared from their library and the ones that are there won’t launch.

    I think it MAY be fixed now, the layout looks different than it was when I tried the last three times. My games were still installed and I have no issues so far. Worst case scenario you have to re download the game packs etc. and you can always backup your saves. Sadly, It's a requirement now. I do find it weird that Mac users are allowed to continue using Origin.
