Thanks to a report from another person I was able to launch the game without the EA App give an error on installation.
I will paste his solution to help others:
"This is a simple fix that will make any EA games requiring EA App work
1 - Install bottles and install the EA app client using the bottle variant.
2 - Click browse files of the EA app client path would be ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles{Application name set in bottles}
3 - Copy all files from the path above except "bottle.yaml"
4 - open path ~/steamapps/compatdata/1222700/pfx and paste all the files from step 2.
5 - run the game under PROTON EXPERIMENTAL (ALL games requiring EA APP)
The game runs smoothly however you may find that while playing you won't get any invites. Add your friend first using bottles EA app then INVITE THEM to play with you."

High vram and ram usage
For some reason I can not open a browser while this game is running. I've tried this game on both KDE plasma and Hyprland, the issue happened on both.

Changing to full screen crashes the game
The game uses a LOT of VRAM (up to 11.5 GB on locked 60fps). I only have 6 GB of it, so I only get +/-17fps on horde mode, no matter the settings and resolution.
Unplayable on high ping lobbies: --- enemies sliding --- everything is delayed (by significant amount of seconds) --- enemies can teleport you to them from the other side of the map if they backstab you (ds1 vibes)
Be sure to have a GPU with at least 12 GB of VRAM and if you plan playing multiplayer, play with people from the same continent as you
