Patch release fixing EA Play (Ubisoft/Optima's sibling) game installs.

Fixed

  • Cancel now stops the download, and no more duplicate downloaders. The EA install wrapper ran maxima-cli in the foreground and stored the wrapper's PID as the game's pid — so Cancel killed the wrapper and orphaned maxima-cli to init, which kept downloading. Re-tapping Install then spawned a second racing downloader; two maxima-cli writing the same folder deadlocked (Battlefield 4 froze at 0.65%). The wrapper now backgrounds maxima-cli, records its real PID, and waits; Cancel kills that PID plus a targeted safety-net sweep for any orphan. (Same fix Optima got in v1.2.0.)

Also recommended

Update dependencies (About → Install Dependencies) to pull maxima-cli v0.14.2, which fixes the download percentage sitting frozen while the game actually downloads (live per-chunk progress).

Backend-only patch — no functional change to any other extension.
