Unable to launch after a crash with Proton-6.8-GE-2
Alt-tabbing would crash the game, you can set it to windowed mode and just use your WM to fullscreen instead.
I sadly had the crash once, and currently it will not start again
The game runs fine on lower settings for me, the crash however makes it impossible to launch the game again for me currently.
Had to initially run the game once to find the its data in the compatdata directory, then chmod it: chmod -R 555 ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1238040/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application\ Data/Origin.
The Origin process keeps running in the background sometimes, even if Steam says you're not currently playing the game. Only way to stop it is by killing it.
Also for importing the save/choices made in Origins I had to place my character in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1238040/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/Characters
Game runs fine, slight issues with Origin
Alt-tabbing would crash the game, you can set it to windowed mode and just use your WM to fullscreen instead.
I am retracting my previous report. The issue with the game crashing occasionally and launch issues was in fact Origin cloud saves unable to correctly sync. I enabled the Origin GUI so that I could disable Origin Cloud Saves for the Dragon Age II and I have had no such issues after that.
Crackling audio issues, frequent FPS drops
Sound is crackling all the time. Frequency FPS drops, game starts acting lagging (graphics and sound) making the game unplayable. The game is fine 20% of the time whilst playing.
I don't think it's hardware related, as I can play other games just fine. I even set the graphics options to the lowest quality. In addition; setting the resolution doesn't work as expected, it gets reset. I had to change 4K to 1080p manually in the OS.
Black window on start, stays for a few seconds and then the game exists/stops
Had to rename the OpenAL32.dll (in ~/.steam/steamapps/common/Mass Effect/Binaries) to get the audio working.
Black screen after choosing path
The game just ends up with a black screen after choosing which path/journey you wish to go. Similar error here (on Win7 x64): https://steamcommunity.com/app/1011190/discussions/0/1745643868488371376/
Doesn't work, even with Proton-5.9-GE-6-ST
Extract from error.log: kernelbase.dll caused an Unknown exception type (0x20474343) in module kernelbase.dll at 0033:7b010c6e.
Massive performance issues / freezes in the main menu
Game launches after the missing DLL fix, but I am unable to start playing as the game freezes in 15 second intervals in the main menu. It's impossible to navigate the menu during these freezes
