EA App (lemmy.world)

Anyone know how to get the EA app working on linux? I'm having trouble with it, so I can't play the mass effect legendary edition on linux at the moment.

Are you going through Steam or the EA App itself?

If the latter, I would recommend bottles. I found that it works pretty well just creating a new gaming bottle then using the included installer for EA.

It works pretty well using Bottles.

I have to force proton experimental version when I play from Steam in Linux, it doesn't work with the default version for me. I have an AMD GPU though.

Yes, I had issues with it with for example Lutris. I needed to upgrade Lutris to the latest version. Bottles I think have it working first (I just hate Bottles UI why I don't use it)

Or do you tried to run it "standalone"?

I tried a couple of different things. I sometimes have issues with Lutris. When I fix one game, another breaks. I'm sure it's my fault, but it's a pain.

I haven't tried bottles, that's probably the solution.

Are you maybe changing the default wine instance instead of per-game? Also, I use protonup-qt to manage proton-ge for lutris, steam, bottles etc. which is a really handy tool

There's a good chance. I'm learning as I go for each one so that's probably what happened without realizing it at some point.

i always have to launch it using lutris. that may be your issue. if i try to start ea app or one of the games with their start entries in my app launcher, even if it was installed with lutris, it fails. gotta do it through lutris every time. that said i also have had to reinstall it completely a few times after updates.
