If you find you also need to remove the compatdata folder for some EA games (for Steam Deck, be in Desktop Mode): find the Steam App ID (Right click a game -> properties -> updates) or grab the ID from the URL of the Steam store page for it. Note: the below can remove settings, possibly saves etc, do at your own risk. So it's a bit of a nuisance and acts differently between games, but it appears the EA app can still work with Proton but it might need a little extra work. Anyway, in this case simply quitting and reloading just seemed to fix it. Seems it's actually a sign-in window, as I was able to highlight things on it by trying to drag things out of the window. EA App seemed to install, then I just got greeted by a blank EA App window. Trying a new install of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on Fedora Linux (desktop) with Proton 7, and a similar issue as the above although it didn't need a compatdata folder removal. Forcing Proton Experimental on it, and then it actually worked. Quitting and reloading, it once again showed the blank EA app screen. With a fresh install of Titanfall 2 on Steam Deck with Proton 7, it had the issue again of a blank EA app screen that got stuck. Killing all Wine processes and exiting Steam, then reloading Titanfall 2 and after a few blank EA App screens appeared and vanished - it works again. Removing the compatdata folder, where all the Wine / Proton prefix data is stored and reloading got it a bit further, to some sort of blank EA App screen after successfully installing it that got stuck. It briefly showed a new EA App screen, then showed Origin and then went into the game.Īn existing Titanfall 2 install on Fedora Linux (desktop) however refused to initially launch, it gave me the EA screen and with Proton 7.0-4, Proton 7.0-5 (RC) and Proton Experimental it just wouldn't launch. The only difference seems to be introducing the EA App.Ĭhecking my existing install of The Sims 4 on Steam Deck and it seems fine. Multiple titles on Steam got updates within the last day, with no patch notes or announcements from EA that I can see.
It seems the time has come, EA has begun the process of swapping from Origin to the EA app on Steam, which could cause a few issues for Linux and Steam Deck with Proton.
