How to connect my Steam account to my EA desktop app without using Origin?

★★★ Novice

My friend is struggling with connecting his Steam account to EA desktop without having origin installed, as its much better and lighter than Origin,  for playing Battlefield that he's purchased in steam ; any solutions? 

 

another request to the developers: please get rid of Origin soon

Hey @Arman5659,
i'll guess this is not possible since EA Desktop is still in Beta. You need to have an Origin account to connect it to Steam

Hey @Arman5659 until such time as EA Desktop leaves beta then for certain games over Steam you will need to use your Origin account to play.

@Arman5659 it's May 2022 and we don't have any solution!
Battlefield 5 has a compatibility issue with Windows 11 in which it loses communication with the keyboard, which does not occur when using the EA APP application, I tested several keyboards and tested it on the BF2042 (the problem does not happen).

I just had one hell of a run around. Tried to play NFS Heat on Steam. It wanted me to update Origin. While going to download a newer version of Origin I seen it said the EA Desktop was the replacement and Origin was legacy. So I went with EA Desktop. Installing EA Desktop uninstalled Origin. Now going back to launch NFS Heat on Steam it asks me to install Origin.

 

I try not to mind different launchers as long as they don't do scummy things. (Like how Epic pays off third parties for exclusivity) However my experience trying to get Heat running is one of the examples why I like using Steam over other launchers. That and the better support for other controllers. So I could use my DualSense to play games without having to install and configure something like DS4Win separately.

 

At this point I would just rather play something else vs going through more hassle to get Origin set again.

Looks like EA Desktop App is finally out of beta. So it should be possible to run Steam games. No?
