Games Removed From App
Hello I am having issues with the EA App; which it removing games that i have paid for or games that work start as it says i not paid for them. I did do the online tech support and was told to post on here as ea guys view and fix issues here., Here is the screen shot of what i am shown I did not remove this game it just popped up when i started the app. Also when i try and install c&c 3 the base game i get a error saying i don't own it. I have redo my desktop from a clean install of windows (11 Pro fully updated) and it is the same. I have also checked on my laptop and it is the same on that. I can show the receipt of the simcity, but i dont want to add to a public post but if you check my account i am hopping all of the notes of my chat will be there as it is over a few hours. If you need anymore info please let me know Thanks Andrew
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.
EA App Crashes and Freeze When Changing Game Installation Directory
The EA App consistently freezes and crashes whenever I attempt to install a game and change its default installation directory. As soon as the directory selection window pops up, the UI becomes unresponsive. Clicking anywhere on the panel immediately triggers a "Not Responding" state, causing the EA App to crash. already try to uninstall and re-install, still doesn`t works.
Dead Space 2 / You Don't Own This Game
I tried to submit a ticket but that's been deliberately made very difficult. The EA app does recognize that I have the relevant CD key activated for Dead Space 2, but in terms of downloading it and installing it it's just kicking out with 'we've canceled the download because you don't own this game'. Even though the library has it, the key is tied to it, etc. What's my next step?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.
Win 11 - EA App opening itself
Sometimes, when I'm doing something entirely unrelated, the app will decide to open itself for no reason. Even when I have SPECIFICALLY right-clicked on the icon in the Notification Area and told it to Exit. It'll just decide to open itself a few minutes later, over the top of whatever I'm doing. This isn't it launching on startup (it's not even in the "startup apps" section of Task Manager, and Run On Startup is disabled in the options), this isn't it auto-updating games (there are no updates available, that's why I launched it the first time, and then closed it) (and also "continue updates when the app is closed" is disabled), it doesn't seem to be updating the app itself (again, it was open less than an hour ago with no indication of updates). It's not caused by me opening Ubisoft or Xbox app, and them subsequently opening the EA App because they're linked. It's not caused by me opening a game I own on the EA App. I'm testing a possible solution of disabling "Install updates automatically" in the Application settings tab. I've heard a possible solution of disabling EABackgroundServices in msconfig, but I'd really rather avoid touching anything in there, if possible. But why on earth is it launching itself, in front of everything, without me touching the icon?
