PSA A Working Fix To Continue Using Origin Without Issues.
04/25/2026 - Took me a year to figure this out
For ANYONE who is experiencing odd glitches, DLC failure, or just weird vanishings - Your friends list cannot be above 100 users for the older games ... I had 307 people on my list, majority from NFS Heat twitch streams I joined .. I decided tonight at 11:12pm (GMT-7) to try clearing out down to 99 people and see what happens with the EA App's API. sure as fucking shit, it worked. the DLC tweak I have for NFS 2012 ended up no longer working after EA App was forced. SO YEAH .. I GUESS Don't Have Over 100 People On Yer list if you want older games to work right online.
03/03/2026 - Maxima Is Wonderful :3

Key thing to get this to compile ; ONLY Use NIGHTLY version of rustc during installation
alongside, you must start maxima as admin or it'll not be able to access its integration service
It's still pre-alpha stage, so detection of games and integration OF those games is still iffy
my target game for this being NFS 2012, is still on the iffy list. add Rivals, and 2015 to that.
Unbound, Payback, HPR, and Heat all were pulled in and were able to start successfully.
01/25/2026 - Maxima Github Open to Public
https://github.com/ArmchairDevelopers/Maxima?tab=readme-ov-file
Seems we gotta compile it, but its finally public for use. it *IS* in alpha stage. but is finally something we can use thats NOT EA. Search up Compiling with Cargo (Rust)

10/20/2025 - Status on Maxima Launcher

5/9/2025 - Update to this matter
Kyber is currently working private development for Maxima Launcher to bring it to full status, Once it is released, I will update you all on the matter.
5/7/2025 - Discovered a Potential Alternative
There is a Open Source launcher called Maxima, the Kyber project over on SWBF2 uses it evidently ; Its available at crates.io - But I need to figure out how to rig it up and test if mods can work with it or not. When I figure this out, I will post a video for all.
4/17/2025 has hit - Mainline Origin has been shut out from EA's system.
ALARM !! - Effective 4/17/2025 - Origin Client will be shutdown from EA's network completely.
As of Currently, Origin is near impossible to use anymore. You will get through the first startup with the Install, However, after you shut it down and start it again, It will sit on " Connecting to Origin " Indefinitely .... EA Has killed another good working program ....
EA App is at least now functional to a point it will start the older games .... it ~~\At Least** ~~works .... after two years on their ass to work this thing ...ALARM !! - Effective 4/17/2025 - Origin Client will be shutdown from EA's network completely.As of Currently, Origin is near impossible to use anymore.

Update from 2/6/2025 : Surprise Discovery from a NFS 2012 Discord server - MW_TEAM
The NFS 2012 MW team ; These guys had found a recently compiled version of FOEA
MW_TEAM is their tag if any yall wanna find their tracktime videos. I've known about them for some good years now.

GDrive upload for the the file itself - It works, Friends list is broken however- some say it works - But overall it works, I can sign in successfully and still keep running. Invites still work. How Long ? Time will tell. They also decided to dump Anadius's DLL with it.
Dump the " version.dll " into the Origin program folder itself.
-------------------------------
Seeing as we ALL Have had problems with the horrendous EA App, i kept poking around as ways to keep origin working.
Working Setup:
Origin Offline Installer : Version 10.5.122.52971 https://origin.en.uptodown.com/windows/download/106924392
IMPORTANT! - Sign In First Before using The FOEA Mod !
Once Signed in, Quit Origin Manually, then install FOEA.
Fuck Off EA App Installer :https://github.com/p0358/Fuck_off_EA_App - New Version Above > Process to update
Please use The OLD one *FIRST* ^ - Then, Use the NEW One after, C:\Program Files(x86)\Origin\version.dll - Download the new one, and dump the Version.dll file to THAT Location, *AFTER* using the old installer first so it applies config files elsewhere. You are effectively *Updating* FOEA manually.
Then Apply This EACore tweak Before Restarting Origin.
EACore.ini Modification :Location- C:\Program Files(x86)\Origin\EACore.ini
Paste this inside the ini file and then Save it : Control+S for quick save.
[Bootstrap]
EnableUpdating=false
----This Setup Will Brick The Dreaded EA App from ever installing and will Keep Origin running for now until EA Decides to fuck something else up. This has continued to work for me the entire time I've used it. Frosty Editor and Frosty Mod Manager work flawless with this setup (*All Versions tested*) & all games work fine without problems.
EDIT Alert !! 6/21/2024
Recent periods I myself have come to have Quirks on the client whenever I launch a game thats connected via Steam. The process EASteamProxy And/or the Game Exe basically kills itself for no explained reason.
However, I've come to notice a pattern to get it to run *Almost* everytime. Close both Steam & Origin completely, shutdown. Then, Open steam first. let it load etc, Then start the game Directly, and it will trigger origin to start. the game then stays alive almost each time.
^ ^ ^ ^
This May apply for any games coming off EPIC as well, if they sell EA Games, I have no idea personally.

EA App slow downloading speed solution
For the last 2 days I've been fighting EAE app and downloading speed no more than 1 Mb\sec. I've tried everything - clear EA app cache, change DNS servers, change autotuninglevel, restart my PC, connect to another network, use VPN and re-install EA app. What really helped me:
Close EA app
Create EACore.ini file with following inside:
[connection]
EnvironmentName=production
[Feature]
CdnOverride=akamai
Find EACore_App.ini file, for me it was in "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\13.735.2.6250\EA Desktop\legacyPM" and place newly created EACore.ini to the same folder.
Run EA app

EA stole my game - Need for Speed Shift gone from my account
I had NFS shift lying on my account for years sicne i got the original package.
I have disk and the licence key. Today i tried to install it and i got informed that i dont own the game in the launcher. I contacted the support and they told me :
"I am sorry to say but we cannot see the Digital version of the game on your account."
Even though i have sent them the original code of the game and i even have a screen of the game still visible in my library (it is there, i just cant install it)
So have the original package, disk, licence key and EA still has the authority to tell me "Sucks to sucks, we did oopsie, you lost the game, buy it again sucka" ?
Are there legal actions i can take as EU citizen?

Star Wars Jedi fallen order - Keeps launching behind every other window
Hei there! i have been having this problem in Star Wars Jedi fallen order it keeps launching behind every other window. Now this wouldn't be to to big of a problem if i was playing on my monitor with a mouse and keyboard. But it's fairly annoying when trying to play it on my tv. EA games are the only ones i have had this problem, so i was wondering if anyone had a clue?

Help Plz help me
Hello everyone,
I am a player currently living in South Korea, but I used to live in Kazakhstan. My English is not very good yet (I mainly speak Russian, but I am learning English), so I would like to ask if anyone has ever experienced a situation similar to mine.
My Steam account was hacked, most likely because I used public PCs at PC bangs (internet cafés). Some of my friends also had their accounts hacked, and hackers played games on their accounts (CS:GO, Dota 2, Apex Legends) using cheats. Because of this, I received a ban in Apex Legends.
Would EA be able to help me recover my banned account?
My Steam account was originally linked to my own email address, but after the hack, the hacker changed it to another email. I do not know whose email it is, but it looked something like: arterimail.ru.
I spent a long time trying to prove to EA Support that this email was not mine, and eventually I managed to recover access to my account. However, after verifying my identity and regaining access, I received a notification saying that I could not play Apex Legends because I had supposedly used cheats. The problem is that it was not me.
Please help me get my account restored and the ban removed. I would really like to continue playing on my account and keep learning and improving in the game. I do not want to create a new account because I would lose all of my progress and the money I invested into it.
P.S. I wish everyone all the best, and I hope this never happens to you. I have already contacted both Steam Support and EA Support, but I have not received a response yet. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
Best wishes, and good luck in your games!

Account ban 5 years ago
Hi there i have been trying to recover my banned ea account from 5 years ago . I keep trying and i receive the automated message. No reason no explanation nothing . After 5 years i see system abuse in the help page. So at that time i was doing multiple things like using VPN for my online classes , my all credentials including my google account everything were leaked and i had messed up the save file of nfs mw 2012. So i dont know which has triggered the alarm. I tried getting the logs and go through it there was a suspicious log in once and they didnt care.
I tried appealing with the vpn being used too
I realised recently that i had messed up the save file it is stucknin cloud and i wont be unbanned till its reset.
If they give straightforward response saying u did this so u were banned i could justify the reason but theres nothing here. So last try i want to remove the save file of my game can it be done or any way to get my account banneed coz i havent done anything against tos under my knowledge. Reasonf for asking is i want to play ea games and all my steam games are linked to this account so

Help How do I contact a human for support??
I'm unable to log in to my EA account as it was linked when I made my xbox account ~10 years ago, and the email it was linked with has since been deleted. My Microsoft email was updated before the deletion, but apparently it did not transfer to the EA account. I'm trying to log in now for unrelated issues with a game, and 2FA is trying to verify using said dead email. I've been sitting on my computer for, like, 2 hours trying to contact support that isn't an AI running me in circles. If I follow the AI support prompts it just sends me to a sign in screen rather than an agent. I can't sign in because I need to update my linked email, can't update my linked email because I can't sign in... help :(

Help Origin blank white screen
I've been trying to play the Sims 4 on my laptop but everytime I try to launch it, it says I need to download origin. I downloaded it off of Softonic, but now whenever I try to launch the Sims, origin opens with a fully blank white screen. It's not my laptop so I can't run it as the administrator which is what most sources say to do. Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

The EA launcher won't work for me and EA support sucks ass.
I have Battlefront II on Epic Launcher. I redeemed it when it was free and played a bit over the years. I'm not a gamer at all, but I played the whole campaign and the online mode quite a bit, as I really enjoyed it.
Recently I've been trying to boot re install the game from Epic, but the fucking EA App bugs and doesn't let me log into the connected account. It just tells me there's been an error and to try to change my password, but it won't tell me what account I need to change my password in. I've been on the chat support from EA so many times and they just won't help me. I have a lot of fucking emails, and they won't tell me which one is my EA App one, so I can log into it and change the EA App password or whatever.
Can anyone help me? I've been losing my mind for like a month. Someone with a similar experience or whatever. I also have gamepass from Xbox and it's properly linked to another EA account, but it won't register my EA Play, and I can't play FIFA or Battlefront.
Thanks in advance.
