Re: Command line arguments not working with EA Play version

Hello @anadius1 

What version number of EA App are you using?

Also, what arguments are you using?

When I launched the game through shortcut with arguments in EA App, the arguments worked for me.  I tried the -w and -disablepacks arguments, and am using EA App version 12.56.0.

Hello @SimQARobo

When I posted on Sunday I had version 12.50.0. Today EA app updated to 12.56.0 and the game consistently starts with the arguments set in EA app. Doesn't matter if I start from EA app, exe file or a shortcut. Doesn't matter if EA app is running before I start the game or not. So that's good, one thing fixed. (I did my tests with -w and -nointro but it doesn't matter - if it works with those it works with others too.)

But arguments set in shortcut properties are still ignored. So if I want to have two shortcuts, one that disables packs, one that doesn't - I can't have that. I have to edit arguments in EA app each time I want to switch.

And I still don't know if arguments set in Steam settings work or not. I assume they don't.

@anadius1 Do you still have origin installed too ? Do the shortcut arguments work with that (I know they used to when I tested a while back but to make sure it still does)

@crinrict No, I have EA app. I believe Origin got automatically uninstalled when I installed EA app.

@anadius1 Yes, it does but you can still reinstall Origin (for the time being)

Will try with Origin later today. Still have them both :D

EDIT: Tested Origin and that still seems to work with the short cut. I just tried -w for sake of easiness
