🎮 New: EA Play extension (BETA)

Native EA / Origin game launching, powered by maxima-cli — real license
handshake (LSX + EALS + EbisuSDK), games run under maxima's own umu / GE-Proton.
Log in, install from your EA library, and launch straight from Steam.

Per-game fixes included in this release:

  • Battlefield: Hardline — boots to campaign (-webmode spoffline)
  • Battlefield 4 — boots to campaign (-webmode sparta -requestState State_Sparta)
  • Mirror's Edge: Catalyst — fixed the deterministic freeze on AMD/non-Nvidia
    handhelds (game's nvapi path; we disable nvapi so it never trips)
  • Mass Effect 2 — auto-installs its PhysX dependency into the prefix
  • Verified booting: Burnout Paradise, Need for Speed titles, and more

⚠️ This extension is VERY BETA — known issues

  • Downloads sometimes stall. If a download doesn't start or gets stuck,
    just keep clicking "Install Game" until it actually begins — it will pick
    up where it left off. A proper fix is coming in a later build.
  • Progress bar looks stuck on big games: it only advances when a whole file
    finishes, so it can sit at a low % while gigabytes are actually downloading.
    It's working — give it time. (Cosmetic; fix planned.)
  • Multiplayer is untested. Campaigns work; online is not validated.
  • Battlefield 3 is untested.
  • Some games need per-game dependencies or Proton quirks. These are data-driven
    and community-extendable (ea-dependencies.conf, ea-quirks.conf) — if a
    game needs a winetricks verb or an env tweak to run, it can be added there.

🎨 itch.io Collections

  • The itch.io tab is now a container: Owned plus a sub-tab for each of your
    collections
    .
  • New "Import Collections" toggle (itch.io tab settings) pulls games from
    all your itch.io collections into your library, not just owned titles
    (answers issue #3). itch.io RPG Maker / Ren'Py / NW.js titles run natively.

Install
