    Fixed many EA games being unplayable after a recent EA Desktop update.

    I didn’t think it was possible to make EA games playable.

        We are not here to emulate everything from Windows, otherwise we would not need to. Ideally we emulate only what we need. :-)

          I was having it a bit towards the end of win 10, Linux has it a bit worse but that might have been me running with my CPU graphics enabled, it was really fucking with things.

            Linux doesn’t seem to like alt tabbing when in exclusive full screen mode. Can mitigate by pressing alt+enter to go to windowed mode quickly then alt tab to your heart’s content… Till you forget to alt+enter.

              Thank you kind stranger, I did not know about that command and will try it out. I typically avoid alt-tab with fullscreen in games for this reason and have to force quit the applications since the screen will be frozen.

              I still tend to see an issue with setting up resolution and window settings on new games where the screen will stop refreshing once I commit the change and then I have to close the application and restart it to continue. I guess I could stick with windowed but it was my understanding that variable refresh rate only really works in full screen mode.
