During some dialogue the game could raise a General Exception Fault in MassEffect.exe. This occurs randomly but not too often, not during any specific dialogue but never outside of dialogue. Deleting openal32.dll made no difference.
Ran on max settings, full playthrough. Didn't have any audio issues so didn't need to remove openal32.dll.
DLC was installed by downloading them both from EA's site (where they are free) and using: "export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home//.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/17460/" ; python3 "/home//.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0/proton" waitforexitandrun "/home//Downloads/MassEffect_BDtS_EFIGS.exe"
Make sure the Proton version you use is the same as the one you'll launch the game with.
Other than the occasional crash from the dialogue the game ran perfectly.
Used 'export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=' to install Origin thin in order to download all DLC and extras, then relaunched with Steam to regain the Steam executables.
Very occasionally the game would crash straight to desktop with no error codes produced, but this is similar to the Windows version.
Played with everything set to max, 1080p with an imported Shep for ME1. Everything works the same as running on Windows, no problems here.
