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.

so much time figure out if its a wine problem
or not:
system is opensuse tumbleweed, fix ipv4 addresses,
only ipv4. internet connection with fritzbox
and wpad-filter activ.
got since about mid of 2023 always the
"temporarily lost connection error"
its not related to wine.
the ea-app uses "wpad" for something, maybe
only to check a connection. if the filter is activ,
(what i strongly recommend) the app will
not work until you do inside
drive_c/windows/system32/drivers/etc
a new line to the file "hosts".
the line must be:
127.0.0.1 WPAD
now the app will start without error.
in the host system (linux) this did not work
(/etc/hosts) it must be set inside the
windows "hosts"-file

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