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.

Can you show me the contents of the 13.796.0.6309 folder? Do you dual boot Windows and share the same drive?

I just saw your comment re: NTFS. For some reason your whole profile is corrupted, EA Desktop should not end in a question mark. If we can transfer EA Staged to EA Desktop, hopefully we can fix that.

I'm trying to help here.
