![]() ![]() 2K last year started wedging that into games which had never used it, offering no benefit while adding clutter and even breaking some games. This isn't like 2K with their new 2K Launcher, mind. ![]() So it's extra irksome that when I am required to interact with the app, it will likely have forgotten my damn login. If we have to use it, make it as invisible and frictionless as possible. It's irksome when I then close that window and my PC dings with a pop-up notification saying "The EA app is running and has been minimized". It's irksome when the app opens up on its homepage after I close a game because hey, no, I closed the game, that was the only use I had for you, and that's over now. I want it to appear quietly when necessary and beyond that, I never want to touch, see, or think about it. By that metric, I want the app to act basically pointless. But you are forced to use it to play most of EA's games (and I cannot imagine buying a non-EA game through it), so let's judge it as that: an unavoidable inconvenience. ![]() You would only ever use if you were forced to. It is outclassed by its rivals in every way. If you judge the EA app as a launcher and as a storefront, it is bland, featureless, and wholly forgettable. Seeing as I will only ever open the EA app when a game requires it, needing to also launch and log into my password manager to retrieve my EA credentials is by far the biggest source of slowness. I can tell you that the issue which always made Origin slow to me still remains: no matter how many times I tell it to remember my login, it will soon forget and log me out. You can also now link your friends lists from Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation, but I'm not sure why that's useful in software I will only ever launch when a game requires it. That feels neither fast nor streamlined but then, what does that matter when I'll only ever launch the app with a specific intent. My own library still includes the ghostly greyed-out expired Battlefield 2042 Open Beta which I can neither install nor remove from the list (I think Origin had that option?). In terms of how it looks, your game library is still displayed as rows of big box art cubes, rather than a helpful form like a straight list. Sure, let's say it doesn't feel strikingly worse, maybe? I myself switched from Origin to the beta app because it was been needed to play EA games on PC Game Pass. I only ever open it when I need to for a game which requires it. Maybe? I think it feels a bit faster? I'm not sure. With automatic game downloads and background updates you can ensure that your games are ready to play when you are." "With the new streamlined design you will easily find the games and content you're looking for and discover your new favorite games. "The EA app is our fastest and lightest PC client to date," EA claim. Just like Origin before it, the new EA app is an inconvenience you must accept to play the EA games which require it, and beyond that it is useless. I think maybe it is? But it doesn't really matter, as long as it's not a disaster, because it's not like you're using it unless you have to anyway. Follow the steps below.Electronic Arts have formally launched their new store client doodad after a long open beta, replacing the much-maligned Origin with something they refer to as "the EA app" (its actual name is only "EA"). The user will have to reinstall the games again once this is done. If all the solutions above have not solved the problem, the last thing to do is uninstall and reinstall Origin again. It’s highly advisable to download all the Visual C++ Redistributables that are there. In some cases, if you can’t find the redistributables, you can also go to Microsoft Website and download the ones that you need. Open the game folder that is associated with the error and search for vc redist_x86 or vc redist_圆4ĭouble click on the one that fits your system specifications ( x32 or 圆4) and after the installation, launch the game. The default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\OriginGames ![]() Locate the Origin game folder on your PC. Most of these redistributables usually come with the games that are being installed but sometimes can fail to be installed due to some interruptions. The user will have to run Origin as an administrator each time to enable access to all the files that were initially missed. ![]()
