I have a simple question: Does anyone play Star Wars Battlefront 2 (the new one) on Zorin?
I have seen that it works using Linux on other distros, but I never see anyone using it on Zorin. These last couple weeks I have been trying to get the game to work on Steam to no avail. You can see from https://www.protondb.com/app/1237950?device=pc that many people get the game working using various proton versions and other fixes, but nothing has worked for me so far.
If anyone does play Battlefront 2 could you please provide the setup you use to get it to work? I would really appreciate it.
Worked for me with no configuration of any kind necessary. I was using Proton Hotfix. Caveats: Shader compile takes FOREVER, but you can see it working before it even launches the EA app. The game itself is... well, $4 felt like a fair price, I'll leave it at that.
I have tried Proton Hotfix, Proton Experimental, GE Proton10-4, Proton 9.0-4, Proton 10.0-1 (beta), Proton 7.0-6, and Proton 6.3-8. Plus, I tried using different launch options people suggested on ProtonDB, but I didn't truly understand what they did.
As for the behavior of the game, I was able to download the EA app just fine, but the main error occurred when launching the game. Most of the time (sometimes other random errors happened, which I assume was from my tinkering) it would try to launch the game, but the game would not open. The EA app opens and then nothing happens. Sometimes the EA app would just go all black and, again, do nothing.
Are you referring to the what installation of Steam I have installed? I downloaded it through Flatpak. I think I read somewhere that the .deb version may work better, is that correct?
Also, I don't think my graphics card would be causing problems; I have a NVIDIA RTX 4090, so it should be able to handle the game. I also have the proper NVIDIA drivers installed and working; in all my other games the graphics card works as intended. However, I am still a little green in all this, so I could be missing something.
