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.

    I played it last year and as far as I remember it was fine. Check ProtonDB for recent reviews though.

    ME:LE runs great on Steam Deck, I had no issues for the bit I played. YMMV of course but I think you’ll be fine.

    I played it, the game worked perfectly. However, EA launcher did not. It would just die immediately 9 ot of 10 times. There’s also another pitfall unrelated to linux: it doesn’t use steam cloud for saves.
