Maxima
A free and open-source replacement for the EA Desktop Launcher
Maxima is an open-source replacement for the EA Desktop/Origin game launcher, running natively on Linux and Windows, with MacOS support in progress.
Maxima itself is a library (maxima-lib), with povided CLI (maxima-cli), TUI (maxima-tui), and GUI (maxima-ui) frontends. Other launchers compatible with Maxima's license may implement it as a backend. It's used by KYBER.
Features:
- EA Authentication
- Downloading/Updating games
- Download & Play any build of a game
- DRM & Licensing support
- Multiplayer game support
- Syncing EA cloud saves
- Launch EA games owned on Epic/Steam through Maxima directly
- Playing games installed with EA Desktop on Maxima + vice versa
- Displaying your in-game status to your friends, and viewing your friends' status'
- Locating games
- Running games under wine-ge on Linux/SteamDeck
wine-geis automatically installed, but basewinemust already be installed on the system. We're looking into implementing umu-launcher to fix this.
In-Dev:
- MacOS support
- Support for launching Maxima through Epic/Steam
Planned:
- Library documentation/examples
- Full EA Desktop interopability. Games installed with EA Desktop already appear on Maxima, and For example, starting a download on EA Desktop and continuing it on Maxima.
- Cleaner/Stabler downloader implementation
- Progressive/Selective installs
- Some games are able to start without being fully installed, and some games contain language-specific files.
Unsupported:
- Battlefield 3 is currently unsupported due to how battlelog does game launching. This is on our radar, but isn't a huge priority at the moment.
- Please file an issue if you find more games that don't work
CLI Usage
maxima-cli standalone will launch an interactive CLI mode to install and launch games.
maxima-cli help will bring up the subcommand list, with things like locate-game, cloud-sync, create-auth-code, list-friends, etc.
Why the name 'Maxima'?
It's the farthest you can get from the Origin.
