--- Comment #2 from Maxime berillions@gmail.com --- Hi,
As explained in my previous message/screenshot, EA Origin is unable to download games since this commit. When you launch Origin, a process named "OriginClientService.exe" is launched in parallel to elevate permission (create folder, download data etc...)
When you download a game (Mass Effect 3), Origin must create : - "LocalContent" folder in ~/.wine/drive_c/ProgramData/Origin - "Mass Effect 3" folder in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Origin Games
With wine-7.8, this process fails to launch so you have the permission popup like in my screenshot.
To resume : Wine-7.5 : Origin works (Origin*.exe process + Launcher window) Wine-7.6 & 7.7 : Only Origin*.exe process work, Launcher is invisible Wine-7.8 : Launcher is visible but OriginClientService.exe fails to launch, unable to download games.
