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.
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.STOP STEALING FOCUS ON GAME EXIT
When I exit a game I bought on Steam such as Mass Effect Legendary Edition, EA App brings its window to foreground... TWICE... in a span of few seconds. How hard it is to: 1. Not show app if it was minimized 2. Not put it in foreground (that's actually considered malicious behavior in Windows) 3. At least not do it twice but wait until it's ready Claude writes better code.
Bring the ability to create short cuts to desktop and other games back
Please can we have the following updates to EA App, when running games like crusader no remorse , no regret, mass effect 3 ect , then running it from the short cuts provided it tells you it needs origin installed and to go install origin again. This doesn't work as origin doesn't work , so what about the ability to create a shortcut to the desktop that runs the game the same way as running it through the ea app , just removing the loading ea app , finding the game and clicking on play . Have things available to launch on the app ,eg "Command and Conquer The Ultimate Collection Additional Content" this was on origin and worked fine , but was shown in our library , and the ability to run it . The content was totally removed from EA App, and accessing it was hard due to not been able to get into the application . Also give us the option to select which platform we want to run the game on . eg start wars battlefront 2 2017 ( you can chose ea play, steam and epic ) List of games that have this issue with origin that I own Bejeweled 3 Crusader No Regret Crusader No Remorse Dragon Age Origins FIFA 10 FIFA 13 Mass Effect 3 Mass Effect™ 3 N7 Digital Deluxe Edition (2012) Medal of Honor™ Warfighter Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Plants vs. Zombies Syndicate
Unable to load Inbox via EA Connect while in game
I have been using Origin , back in 2017, until EA App now and never faced any issues in inbox or quick messages Past the 3 Months I have this issue where everytime i try to send a Quick Message I get an error saying COULD NOT SEND MESASGE. TRY AGAIN LATER. And when I switch to Inbox it shows an error as shown in the screenshot Any solution?
NOT SOLVED - App opens every time I close a game
The old origin app had a setting if I wanted the app to automatically open when closing a game. I always set it to not open on its own. The new app doesnt have that setting and opens every time I close a game. I dont want the app to open when I close the game. Its super annoying to have to close the app EVERY time. It literally opens for no good reason at all. This is bad design. And this is the only app that has this annoying "feature".
