  • An update black screened his system and corrupted his time shift backups. So he gave Linux Mint a shot and has been using it for several weeks.

  • He has switched to Linux Mint instead

  • Have you tried different version of proton, proton GE or even wine?

    I have only had good luck with using wine with the ea app on my desktop PC.

    GE-Proton9-24 Released

    Proton:

    • Added patch that adds PROTON_PREFER_SDL option. If PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1 is set proton will not prefer hidraw and instead will expose both sdl and hidraw. it can fix input in a few games when not using steam input
    • Added patch that adds PROTON_NO_WM_DECORATION (and WINE_NO_WM_DECORATION) option. If PROTON_NO_WM_DECORATION=1 is set, it sets WINE_NO_WM_DECORATION=1 which will disable window decorations. This can fix an issue where if clicking on a window border in some games in borderless window mode it would click through the border straight to the desktop. By disabling the window decorations it removes the pixel offset caused by them, which is what causes the mouse click confusion.
    • Removed previously disabled nvidia latency reflex patches as they have now all been merged with the exception of the winevulkan patches. Winevulkan patches are now applied -- nvidia latency reflex should now work where available.
    • updated wine to latest bleeding edge
    • updated dxvk to

    Nothing major here, just a refresh of various parts that need updates from git, mostly to add new video playback fixes from upstream proton.

  • Well they are open source, so I guess they will be forked if needed

  • Nope. Just had a quick look over the last few release notes. I could be wrong

  • Possibly this fix from 9-10: “added EAC fix to allow elden ring to run even if dlc not owned”

  • Afraid

  • Biblically accurate Galah

  • Yes they still level with you but it’s really not much of a problem anymore
