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.
Restore ability to hide games in library
Since you just closed 4 year old topic suggesting restoring basic functionality (that was present in origin) here I am to create new one. Please restore ability to hide games or remove them from account. This is very important for games that are demos, betas or no longer available Why do I have to watch Bejeweled 3 every time I want to find battlefield in my library? Why do I have to watch ea sports madden nfl just because I clicked on wrong tile while I had EA Play and it was instantly added to my account? I cannot even play it, it requires me to purchase subscription again (tile is grayed out) so I really have no idea why is it even visible in my library... I want to hide all these ugly mistakes and keep my library clean. It would be plus if I could add tags or group games into custom groups but just this basic functionality of hiding games and optionally removing them from account would be great.
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
Why change the EALauncher Icon!?
Hi EA Staff and Feedback gathers, App works well does what it has to do and operates perfectly. Yet I feel a bit disappointed in whomever decided to change the icon color. Plainly this new icon does no pop, its boring, casual, no color, no essence, its getting totally outshined by my "battle.net" Icon. Please, go back to the Orange icon as the blue is dull and unappealing. Thank You.The EA PC app is still broken after 3 years
Seeing others comment on this and having run into it for the first time, the EA app is a buggy piece of trash on a good day, but today takes the cake. Tried playing Jedi Survivor, no issues until game crashes, send report and try to reopen, EA app refuses to open. I have a game that I didn't purchase on an EA platform, dependant on an app that doesn't work, and I cant even talk directly to support stagf because EA doesn't recognize that I own the game that they won't let me play. Look to old forum posts, and google around. Not one case solved by EA, suggesting that factory resetting your computer is the final troubleshooting option to make their broken app maybe work. The state of the gaming industry today is truely sad. From being EA, its in the game, to this, destroys any good memories I had playing any of your games, and the nostolgia you are hoping keeps us buying your dying properties fades more every day.
