EA App Flyouts
EA App has annoying flyouts that are distracting and break window cohesion: Other terrible game launchers (read Epic Games Launcher) use similar methods of pushing out garbage that no one pays attention to... Good game launchers (read Steam) don't have disruptive, distracting excrement that takes up valuable screen space.
Please reconsider the 5-launch limit for GeForce NOW users
Hi EA I’d like to suggest a change to the EA app for people who play EA games through GeForce NOW. When I launch a game through GeForce NOW, it seems that each new session can be treated as a different computer. After launching the game around 5 times, I can get an error saying that I’ve used too many computers recently, and I’m unable to play for a while. This is really frustrating because I’m not actually switching between 5 different personal computers — I’m using the same GeForce NOW service and the same EA account. Cloud gaming works differently from playing on a normal PC, so the current security limit can unintentionally lock legitimate players out of their games. Could EA consider: Not counting each GeForce NOW session as a completely new computer, or Adding support for recognized cloud gaming services such as GeForce NOW, or Increasing/removing this limit when the account is being used legitimately through a cloud gaming service? I understand why the security feature exists, but I think there should be a better solution for cloud gaming users. Thanks for considering it!
Don't change the visibility of the EA app icon or launch it at every update!
I always set game launcher icons visible in the system tray so I can see if they're running and close them if needed. Every single time the EA app updates itself, it will reset the setting and stay hidden so the only way to see it is clicking on the arrow to check all icons. Every single time, I set it to visible again and it will inevitably revert that setting a couple of days later. Please, respect my settings and keep the app icon visible if I set it like that. That's especially important since the EA app has been updating several times a week, often taking over the screen at very inopportune times and taking me out of games, video and work. Keeping apps updated is important, I get it. But if the app launches itself automatically with every update, that's digital **bleep**. Allowing the app to automatically update should mean it updates when I open it, not whenever it wants. At best, it should update in the background without starting up. DO NOT LAUNCH AN APP BY ITSELF EVER, it's not your PC to go around opening stuff without my explicit command.
About to uninstall this garbage - can't disable start on bootup
For weeks now. Every single day the launcher starts up on bootup, quietly. And in the middle of the day randomly pops up with an update about a sale! I disable the "launch on startup" option. I close the app. I open the app back up. It's toggled on. I toggle it off. The next day, it pops back up in the middle of the day. Your storefront/launcher is bad and everyone who works on it should feel bad. I'm about to uninstall the last game I don't even really play just to get rid of this garbage piece of software. It's incredible how a company with so much money can't even have a basic, functional storefront/launcher in the year of our lord 2026. I guess things that were capable decades ago are just out of reach for today's companies.Add option for closing app entirely when you hit the X
Please for the love of almost everything except money put in a switch that will let me close the EA app entirely when I hit "close" in the top right of the window, instead of "closing" to the system tray (effectively just minimizing the app.) I do NOT want ads popping up in the corner of my screen. I will Go Out Of My Way to not purchase anything that is advertised to me in this invasive manner. I do NOT want the app to be running in the background when I hit the "close"- CLOSE! button. Not Minimize! Close! General computer courtesy, in my opinion, is allowing the user to control their experience. EA is failing spectacularly at this by prioritizing their Ads over user experience, if what I suspect (that this wasn't a decision by the devs and was instead a decision by management) is true. I suspect this because almost every other app in existence that might have a reason to minimize to system tray (auto updates, etc.) gives the user the option to forego whatever niceties that minimizing to system tray does and close the app entirely, should they wish to. Even if it takes menu-diving to find. Another idea: Allow us to turn off pop up ads. We already pay money for your games, and I'm certain you already sell any data of ours that you can get your hands on to ad partners. At least give us the option to have a clean app experience (at the very least for those of us dedicated enough to find the settings to make it so.) Do better.
Screw your "EA App Needs To Restart" while playing
Seriously, what MONKEYS work on design and coding of this thing? If I started EA App that's because I want to PLAY A GAME. If I am playing a game I DON'T WANT TO STOP JUST SO YOUR APP CAN RESTART. If you need to check for updates DO IT BEFORE OPENING IT AND UPDATE IT BEFORE LAUNCH LIKE STEAM DOES FOR AT LEAST A DECADE. SHEESH.
