Ever since the issue with Apex not launching was fixed, I'm not able to play any EA games with Steam Proton.

Apex, which doesn't launch through the EA app flickers immensely on Fullscreen and Borderless Window. Flicker goes away when windowed, but the GPU utilization regularly goes down for a few seconds, dropping the FPS.

Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 5: I get an EA app screen that says "Preparing Game" which exits after about 1 minute (I think steam is timing it out).

Proton logs show some errors about not being able to load a few DLLs but research on the internet points to them not being relevant.

I have tried on all combinations of below:

  • Hyprland, KDE, and Gnome. All Wayland.
  • NVIDIA 545 and 550
  • Linux-zen 6.7 and 6.8
  • Arch Linux and NixOS
  • Proton 7 through Proton Experimental as well as GE 9.1 and 9.2

It sure doesn't. I had a bunch of beautiful screenshots I took using The Invincible's photo mode. It saved them all to the emulated AppData folder in compatdata. When I was done with the game I uninstalled and went to grab the pics, only to learn I picked the wrong order to do that in :(. This was as of 2 months ago.
