EA App under Steam Proton triggers 3.5 GB+ of memory allocation
Every time I launch Sims 4 on Steam (runs on Steam Deck), EA App's memory usage on the Chromium Framework compatibility (CrBrowserMain) gets exceptionally high, starting at 2 GB and skyrocks to 3.5 GB of total memory usage including (shared) GPU memory. I have no ways but to kill the EA App in order to play The Sims 4 with sufficient RAM. While I know this is not something that's truly fixable on the EA App side, but there should be a memory-saving option for non-Windows platform (e.g., GPU-disabled or headless mode) in order for it to save memory. Most Steam users can't even access the EA App under Proton directly anyway.
One of the worst desktop applications I've ever seen
As a software developer, I don't remember the last time I've seen such a horrendous application. The amount of bugs I get weekly is absolutely mind blowing. I encounter new ones every week. On average, I have to restart the app at least 2-3 times before it successfully launches a game. Some days I'll try 10+ times and waste over an hour of my time to end up not even being able to play a single game. What's crazy is that it's been like this for over a year now, and not only has it not improved, it's actually gotten worse. I'm not usually the type to leave reviews, but I really had to take the time to leave this one. Seriously, what the hell is the dev team doing?Can't launch games, instantly closes back to EA app with no error.
God, honestly. Don't even know why I'm writing this, not like the company worth literal billions, worth more than my entire ancestry is going to do a thing about it. Three years, not three months, not three weeks, not three days. Three, **bleep** years. You guys have had the exact same issue for three years, and so help me god if one person that replies to this tells me to explain more into what's happening I am going to Mike Tyson my monitor with a strength incomprehensible to humankind. I will give you the version which everybody else that has reported this has had. I installed a game, PGA Tour because I pay for EA play and I was like, I might as well get my money's worth. Hadn't used the app in like five months because of the exact bug so I completely forgot about it. Went to launch the game, got literal war flashbacks. I tried to start the game, I was excited. It says "Launching game" Oh I'm so happy, I'm gonna get to play PGA Tour! Then, the launching game goes away, ea app closes. THEN IMMEDIATELY OPENS AGAIN, NOT LAUNCHING THE GAME. Literal mental warfare ensues. I start remembering and I'm literally fighting every demon the world has ever seen. It's not like this is an uncommon bug, there is HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS, throughout the last THREE YEARS, of this EXACT BUG. I fixed it once the first time I got it, I had to do some Jerry Rigged bs, WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BECAUSE IT'S JUST LAUNCHING A GAME, AND THEN YOU GUYS TOOK THAT POST DOWN. "Oh will you show us your DXDIG" Or whatever it's called. NO, I won't. I have before. Did nothing, literally just started ghosting me on my own post. Do you guys get paid for the work you do? Every thing you suggest will "Help" is written down on your copy and paste garbage sheet that you guys use. Then when that runs out of things, YOU JUST GHOST EVERYBODY. I mean, I can get a week of an issue in the launcher, MAYBE even a month depending. BUT THREE YEARS? You money grabbing sad sacks could care less about the people who have actual issues and only decide to focus on whatever will get you the most money. You could have two hundred people complaining about the same issue, and because Bateson is still spending ten grand a week on EA FC, that's all you care about. Also, it's not even just PGA. It's EA FC, it's Madden, man I installed seven different games, SIX OF THEM DIDN'T WORK. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? GENUINELY. DID I SPEND ENOUGH MONEY THIS YEAR ON EA FC? I have tried EVERY possible fix on EVERY post I could find. EVEN ONES IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE I TRANSLATED THEM. This was my message, can't wait for copy and pasted garbage!App Problems
This is my first time even downloading the app, never even logged in because it wont let me. I open the app, I'll type one letter and the app just closes on itself. Ive tried basically everything that the internet and youtube tells me to. How can i play any of these games if thge app just simply wont work at allPC Games Madden 25 and EA FC 25 will not start.
When I try to load both of these games, the splash screen will come up, the bar will jump to the end and then the EA desktop app will just reopen with the game never launching. I only just bought Madden and have not been able to start it yet. I have >300 hours in FC25 and this is the first time I've noticed it with this game. I've tried: Reinstalling both game and EA app Clearing EA App Cache Repairing files Uninstalling EA anticheat to prompt it to reinstall Nothing has worked so far.
