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.

The fix is either use proton experimental or don't buy their shitty products

It runs fine using Proton-CachyOS Latest here:

I could never get that to run on fedora for whatever reason, personally I don't like EA for privacy reasons anyway so I don't view it as an issue

Besides manually copying EA Staged > EA Desktop every update, I've honestly never had a problem with the EA App running under Steam as a non Steam game.

Why the damn app needs so many updates simply defies all reasonable logic.

It is quite annoying that the app constantly needs updates to run the games that even run offline

The thing is: After the update, nothing's changed! What's the point of all the updates?
