So... has anyone played ME:LE on Linux through Steam on PC and how did it go?

I bought Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order in the past and the EA App requirement gave me problems. Managed to play for a while, then not anymore, then again after tinkering... don't remember how anymore... In conclusion, I try to avoid EA titles since, but Mass Effect has always been a game I wanted to try. I already checked protondb, but am none the wiser as of what awaits me if I buy it.

So I thought someone here may want to share their experiences.

I'm running Manjaro and only AMD hardware, btw.

I've played all three games. Arch on PC, Lutris, some GE-Proton 9 version. If the camera acts up in ME2, try Gamescope with relative mouse.

EA App didn't come up. If it causes issues, try an alternatively sourced copy.

alternatively sourced copy.

As a paying customer, I can confirm that this is yet another example of paying customers getting a worse product.
