Just works out of box
After almost 10 hours of playing I didn’t find any significant performance drops or other issues. Proton version is 6.3-7.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" TZ=UTC %command%
EA App cannot login no matter what I do, regardless of Proton version and installed dlls. It's either a blank Link2EA window, a blank window with a header or just a hanging Link2EA.exe process with no window at all.
Had to install the old Origin manually inside the prefix. Origin installer shows blank white screen on the newer Proton version, so I had to revert to 7.0, then disable updates using this method. Make sure to read the main project README about disabling updates.
EA App just doesn't work.
Can play, but it's not an easy task to make it work. Also, for now I only tried to play ME1, not ME2 or 3.
Looks completely broken for me now
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" HOST_LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8 TZ=UTC %command%
Tried to use https://github.com/p0358/Fuck_off_EA_App method again, but apparently after some recent update it no longer works. Usually there's just a hanging Link2EA process.
Using the latest Proton and official EA app doesn't seem to work either.
On second startup the game asked to create profile again, despite being played and saved. It silently refuses to accept existing profile name, so it won't actually break the save and I was able to create another profile, then go to profile selection, and switch back to my main profile.
After several tries I looked at the output_log.txt and noted a long list of timezone related exceptions. As I already encountered situations where my timezone (Europe/Chisinau) was not recognized by Wine and it's derivatives, I went to launch options and set it to:
TZ=UTC %command%
That was the only change to get it working correctly, so I'm not setting it to 'Tinker' and you may not need it at all
FPS drops at the beginning of session, fixes itself after a while
TZ=UTC LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8 HOST_LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command%
Cannot type cyrillic characters in any of the input fields without setting HOST_LC_ALL env var, otherwise works fine
Slows down a bit on some lighting conditions, but not sure if it's Proton related
TZ=UTC to avoid possible timezone related issues in Wine/Unity combo, may not be required for your TZ ar at all anymore
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" to run mods with BepInEx
Starts OK, underground part of Bakerloo line works OK, but when on the surface, there are multiple places on the map where the game almost freezes and only produces about 0.2 FPS with a 100% GPU load. Changing graphics settings, using Proton-GE, etc may change where it occurs, but not fix it completely.
