I know, lame post, but I wanted to say that Linux gaming has gotten soooo much better, to the point that I honestly think my games are running better than on Windows. I’ve played so many games, but notable ones are Halo: MCC, MS Flight Sim 2020, Satisfactory, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and right now I’m starting a full playthrough of Dragon Age.
Dragon Age is notorious even on Windows for being a pain because it’s such an old game. You have to install the 4gb patch, and even then it’s a bit rocky. Not on Linux though! I did have to install PhysX but I googled it and saw it was 2 buttons to install on Linux! Now it’s been rock solid and stable, with no crashes.
Linux gaming may have a high bar to learn, but that bar is constantly getting lower! Exciting times!
I haven’t played that game, but I have some EA games that work great on Lutris. Have you tried that?
I tried Lutris, Steam and Bottles, the bug with mods on DAI for what I understand is because the EA crap App doesn’t recognize launch options like Steam does so anything that depends on it doesn’t work, I don’t know why but with the Steam version you can pass I think was GAME_DATA_DIR option and Steam launches the game with the mods.
The bug on DA2 is probably EA not giving a shit with older games, the DAI, ME Andromeda and ME Legendary Edition doesn’t have it.
@ZeroHora @InternetUser2012 ah, i see. dealing with game mods and launchers can be a bit tricky, especially when it comes to ea’s app. here are a couple of suggestions that might help you work around these issues:

@ZeroHora @InternetUser2012 1. **Use ProtonGE**: If you haven’t already, try using ProtonGE with Steam. It’s a community-driven version of Proton that often includes the latest improvements and fixes. You can install it and set it as the compatibility tool for your games. Here’s how:
- Install ProtonGE via the setup guide: <https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom#installation>
- In Steam, go to the game’s properties, select the “Compatibility” tab, and choose ProtonGE from the list.
