Anyway to install and play without the EA app?

[CJF]

Im sick of having to install extra BS, and have no intention of playing other EA games. Hell, I might not even play this one if I cant work around this

nope, since ea handles servers together with respawn, save/cloud data, etc without it the game doesn't work. Steam it's just the distribution platform

But don't worries when it works and wants to work(gotta love ea app when it glitches) the launcher just will open for a few seconds to 1 min then minimize in the background when the game start running then closes itself alone when the game closes.

You're out of luck. Might be able to break the campaign into working, but not a chance for multiplayer.

I play this game on my Steam Deck. When I start the game, the EA app is just a flash, then the game loads. I don't have to even log in into the EA app, it is already logged in. SteamOS holds every game in separate containers, so it doesn't affect other games.

This feature is terrible I have lost access to all my EA steam games due to my EA email no longer being accessible because my Mum who died owned the Email. When I buy the games on steam I expect to play them. Steam needs an option to remove 3rd Parties from Locking One Account to your Steam account.

Since you own the product you are allowed to pirate it and play the superior pirated version.
