This includes the current version of EA app. Since older binaries are no longer available once the installation sources are updated, it makes no sense to maintain separate versions.

What works
The installer opens, and you can attempt to install it if your 64-bit Wine prefix is set to Windows 8.1 or newer.
64-bit and Windows 8.1 or newer is required.
What does not
The app fails to connect to EA's servers to download the full software, thus failing to install. It also has missing text/graphics.
The following error is output to terminal when it fails:

Can I investigate this further somehow? Or is this a known problem?
