The game used to work several versions of SteamPlay ago. However, it has since stopped working for me. When I try to launch the game, all appears to be going well, until eventually the prompt to either force-kill the game or to wait appears. Regardless of which is selected, the game appears to be running from Steam, but there is no video/audio output in the Vive headset.
A black window launches briefly, followed by a smaller window with what appears to be the Blade and Sorcery logo with a red exclamation-mark in the upper left corner. This smaller window has a loading progress bar, that upon reaching the end, simply exits the smaller window and thusly the larger window. The game never starts.
The typical gamer won't understand why the game is crashing (Ultra HD Texture pack), and therefore won't have an enjoyable experience.
The game still crashes when loading into Sanctuary while the Ultra HD Texture pack is installed.
Unable to connect to EA servers to activate
Like all other EA-published titles I've tried since the inclusion of their former Origin-exclusives, this game seems to install correctly, but after the Origin thin client displays, it throws the error message about being unable to install the game in the specified folder, followed by another error window stating "We are unable to connect to EA servers to activate Dead Space 3 on this computer using your account. Please try again later." Clicking the "Exit" button on the window causes the game to exit.
Always greeted with "Games cannot be installed in this folder" error from Origin
Every time I try to run the game, Origin opens and presents an error window saying "Games cannot be installed in this folder". I'm able to choose a new folder from this window, but upon choosing one, I'm presented with another message saying "The game STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order does not appear to be installed. Please install it or try relaunching the game."
Network error, possibly related to other EA titles on Debian.
Error "Unable to retrieve patch data. Please check network connection. (206)" in the client launcher. This could possibly be related to the outstanding issue with other EA/Origin games on Debian. See the link to the issue below for two different EA/Origin titles for more information:

Worked on first start-up, crashes every subsequent start-up
The game seemed to work fine the first time I started it up. I was able to get to the main menu, and everything still seemed fine. Rather than immediately playing the game, I went into the options menu, changed the renderer from DX11 to Vulkan, and enable AMD's FSR setting, just to see if it would work with Proton Experimental. I was prompted that I had to restart the game for some settings to take effect. When I did, the game failed to load back into the main menu forevermore, simply crashing on the initial loading screen with the face of a zombie. Shortly after, I'm prompted with the game's crash dump exporter, which also doesn't seem to work. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting any "WWZ" directories I could find, to no avail.
