EA app (Origin) Integration Plugin for GOG Galaxy 2.1+ (64-bit)

This plugin imports your EA app library into GOG Galaxy 2.1+ 64-bit. Based on the original Origin community integration, it has been updated for the current GOG Galaxy client and Python 3.13.

✨ Features

• Imports your owned EA games into GOG Galaxy
• Syncs achievements and game time
• Detects locally installed EA games
• Launches games through the EA app

Note

macOS compatibility may be technically possible, but it is currently untested because I do not have access to a Mac. If you use macOS and would like to help test the integration, feel free to contact me.

📦 Installation

Automatic Installation with Plugin Updater (Recommended)

Use the melcom GOG Galaxy Plugin Updater to install or update the integration automatically.

1. Download and extract the Plugin Updater.
2. Double-click update-plugins.bat.
3. Select your preferred language.
4. Follow the displayed instructions.

Manual Installation

1. Close GOG Galaxy completely, including the system tray application.
2. Download the latest release package from this repository.
3. Extract the ZIP archive directly into:

%localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\

The resulting directory structure must look like this:

%localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\
└── origin_7f53219b-4e2b-4591-9f4f-dfc5f4ba9eb0\
    ├── manifest.json
    ├── plugin.py
    ├── README.md
    └── ...

Next step: Continue with First Start and Initial Sync below.

Important

Do not place backup copies of this plugin inside the plugins\installed directory. GOG Galaxy scans every folder inside this directory during startup, so duplicate plugin folders can cause GUID conflicts or load an outdated version.

🚀 First Start and Initial Sync

For the first synchronization after installing or updating the plugin:

1. Start the EA app and keep it open.
2. Start GOG Galaxy.
3. Connect the EA app integration through Settings -> Integrations if necessary.
4. Open the account menu in the top-right corner and select Sync integrations.
5. Wait until the synchronization has finished.

🔄 Resetting the Plugin Database (Troubleshooting)

Reset the local plugin database if synchronization problems continue after restarting both applications.

1. Close GOG Galaxy completely.

2. Open C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\storage\plugins\.

3. Find every file starting with origin_ and ending in -storage.db.

4. Rename each matching file by appending .old, for example:

   origin_xxxxxxxxx-storage.db -> origin_xxxxxxxxx-storage.db.old

5. Start the EA app and keep it open.

6. Start GOG Galaxy, reconnect the integration if necessary, select Sync integrations from the account menu, and wait for synchronization to finish.

🛠️ What to Do If the Plugin Has Problems

If the database reset above does not resolve the problem, create a clean session with fresh diagnostic files before contacting me. The reset procedure preserves the previous database as a .old file; the steps below remove the active database so the issue can be reproduced from a clean state.

1. Close GOG Galaxy completely, including the system tray application.

2. Open the following directory and delete the existing log files:

   %ProgramData%\GOG.com\Galaxy\logs
   

3. Open the plugin storage directory:

   C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\storage\plugins
   

   Delete only the active EA app database file starting with origin_ and ending in -storage.db. Do not delete database files belonging to other integrations. If you are unsure which file is correct, do not delete anything from this directory.

4. Start the EA app and keep it open. Start GOG Galaxy, reproduce the problem, and then close GOG Galaxy completely so the new log is fully written.

5. Return to the logs directory and locate the newly created EA app plugin log:

   plugin-origin-7f53219b-4e2b-4591-9f4f-dfc5f4ba9eb0.log
   

Send only this log file, not the entire logs folder. Include the exact steps taken, the expected and actual result, and whether the problem can be reproduced.

Without a fresh plugin log and a detailed description, I cannot reliably determine what is causing the problem. Once everything is ready, continue with Support & Feedback for contact options.
