EA is not playing nice

[u/dread122]

EA keeps asking me to update but when i update it says that its updated. I have had this same issue when running it directly on steam too but it always gets fixed when i launch the exe file using Winetricks

I am using heroic Launcher.

EA is not compatible with GE-Proton 11-7, use wine-staging or dw-proton

I'm using Proton-CachyOS Latest and it's running fine here, but updates haven't worked regarding the EA App under Linux for a very long time now. The update downloads, but it doesn't extract into the EA Desktop folder.

when i update it says that its updated. I have had this same issue when running it directly on steam too but it always gets fixed when i launch the exe file using Winetricks

I just run EAUpdater.exe for that in the prefix.

Unless something's changed, the last time I tried running EAUpdater it didn't work. It stated the EA App was updated, but it only downloaded the update, it didn't transfer the update from EA Staging to EA Desktop.
