Frosty Tool Suite Datapath Fix Plugin
Description
DatapathFix is an experimental Frosty plugin to fix an issue with modding games on platforms other than Origin (EA Desktop, Epic Games Store, Steam), where mods do not appear in the game. This plugin works with games that FrostyFix does not support.
Background
I was downloading mods and installing them via Frosty Tool Suite, however, none of the mods where showing in game. After an investigation, I came to a conclusion that the issue had nothing to do with mod compatibility. However, it was a compatibility of Frosty Tool suite itself which seems to not use the right way on injecting command line arguments into start up of a game.
The reason behind why Frosty Tool Suite fails to work with games based on Frostbite Engine and launched via EA launcher was well described by the author of the fix:
...This is because EA Desktop does not support launching a game with CMD line arguments (which causes issues outside of modding EA games). Frosty Mod Manager/Editor uses a command line argument to change the game's datapath to the modded one when launching the game through that, which does not work with EA Desktop

So, thanks to Dyvinia and all of the contributors for developing a fix that makes mods appear in the game.
Download
Nexus Mods download page may contain outdated versions of the fix. Please use original release page of a plugin for download. Therefore, use the latest version available on this page under "Files" as a last resort.
Installation
Installation procedure may change over time, therefore, please use the original web page of a plugin for the latest guide. Otherwise, follow steps below (valid as of v1.5.1).
- Download & unzip/install the latest version of Frosty Toolsuite
- Extract the contents of the "DatapathFixPlugin.zip" into "Plugins" folder of Frosty Toolsuite
- Delete "LaunchPlatformPlugin.dll" from the "Plugins" folder OR disable "Launch Platform" plugin from within the Frosty Toolsuite
Note: Seems like Frosty Toolsuite does not offer capabilities of disabling "Launch Platform" plugin. Hence, try deleting "LaunchPlatformPlugin.dll". However, be warned - this may result in Frosty Toolsuite not launching games/launching games without mods, that were working just fine without this fix.
