Possible cause EA App Version 13.104.5617 (Jan 17, 2024)

[Eigencon]

EA App did receive an update recently. Since then "remote play" stopped working for me. Worked (almost) fine before. I reverted to an older version (via file copy from backup) and now it seems to work again. Possibly related to all the problems with steam overlay and controller support. A bit more info here, but not a proper solution https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/19a7pv9/jedi_survivor_remote_play_stopped_connecting/

Maybe somebody can find where to download an installer for EA App version 13.96.0.5609. I could only find some 3MB installer which always downloads the most recent version.

The older version should still be present in your Program Files folder. There should be two folders, one for the current version, and one for the older version. You may need to rename some file names.

C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\

Today I got the EA Desktop update version 13.116.0.5629. The problem remains.

EA App Update also broke LukeFZ's FSR3FG mod, seems like EA games just refuse to load any DLL now FFS

Capcom is openly fighting a war on mods, adding in DRM to older games.

I wonder if Nintendo is putting pressure on publishers?

[TheRazerMD]

Capcom is fighting a war they've already lost since Enigma is craap. Just ticking a checklist for the management, going back to the Craapcom days since apparently they can't have a good spree going forever.

Not sure what Nintendo has anything to do with this, they don't care about PC and never have. This is just EA doing some bull, flabbing around and wanting to find out.

Here's a 100% working solution - but you will need to search the interwebs for yourself a bit as I cannot post any links here - yet it's only 3 small steps to get your controllers back to a working stage:

1. You do not want that frikkin piece of garbage EA App - just uninstall it from Windows...
2. Install the latest Origin App (which still works and holds all of your EA games, also those bought from Steam. Check the webs for a DL link OR do everyting with the help of Step 3
3. Now the fun part: check the webs for "**** off EA App" - get onto their github, everything is easily explained there. **** is Foxtrott Uniform Charlie Kilo ;-)

--> Now enjoy your whatever EA Game (including SW Survivor) with normal Steam Input and your beloved controller again ;-) and ofc Overlay :-)

Yeah, I'm taking the assumption that DLLs or binaries are involved, and I would prefer to minimize supply chain vulnerabilities.

I'm not going to challenge the DMCA on a "Right to Repair" issue regarding this game. Perhaps 10 years from now when I convert this PC into a Steam Machine for "retro gaming", I might be more inclined to seek a work-around for Electronic Arts' nonsense.

Actually not, you can also tweak it yourself... It's plain uninstalling EA App, Installing last Origin App, Set Origin App to not automatically Update and put a Registry Value into the WinReg that makes Steam think that EA App is installed...
The "♥♥♥♥ off EA App" Software sets down on using an exchanged EAVersion.dll, but it is not needed (still working though). What it does is applying the settings to Origin and the Registry... Nothing else included in the software...

It did work for me, just that I had to look for the offline installer, because for some reason, Origin wa giving me an error 20:403 when I tried to install it. After installing Origin and using the F****** EA App patch, check the pretend EA App is installed and then launched Jedi Survivor, the controllers worked perfectly, even my DualShock with its layout worked.

I can confirm, this works! I use a steam controller that wasn't working with this game. After I followed these steps, it's working again.

Don't forget to check "Mimic EA App" on the installer.
