Fixes EA App AGAIN, doesnt it? Wtf..

[–] Voytrekk 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It is very fragile. Its part of the reason I normally stick to games that do not require third-party launchers.

EA App is garbage, even on Windows. Making it work at all on Linux is a remarkable feat in engineering.

I have it working through bottles but I'm afraid it is going to break every time there is an update.

Well, the fact that I need to login to play in offline mode is quite fascinating as well. lmao.

source: I use to play the original PvZ on EA App then just bought the Steam version because of this shit.

I used to play EA Games on Windows and I always had problems with EA's shitty launcher.

sigh It isn't easy being both a Dragon Age fan on Linux.

So the EA app works but that doesn't mean games using EAC such as battlefield 2042 work, right?

[–] Voytrekk 2 points 2 years ago

Correct. This is just for the app and not necessarily the games within the app.
