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 window begins to launch.
What does not
On install if you try to repair it goes through the steps, then the repair window closes and EVENTUALLY a crash logger shows up.
If you follow the winetricks d3dcompiler method in the last report, and launch the EADesktop.exe directly with a call to wine, it begins loading the login window and then QtWebEngine.exe crashes.
Workarounds
Those listed in the last entry, otherwise the launch just hangs for several minutes and displays a crash reporting window.
export WINEARCH=win64
winetricks d3dcompiler_47
Of note I am using the most current version of Wine, installed via the winehq repo, and winehq-devel, as staging doesn't even seem to install the wine executable.
What was not tested
Anything else, it won't load all the way.

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?
