Was working through out the week - Pressing play results in a black window pop up and immediate close

did anything change between the game working and the game not working? maybe a proton - experimental update? proton experimental is... wel... experimental, not meant for every day usage
proton experimental is a bad choice to run games, it can get updates and break your games, you should always use a version of proton you can control

Not that I know of. Played a bit last night and after starting my SD up this afternoon it no longer works. I tried changing it off of experimental as well but no dice. I got my SD very recently, would it be possible for you to tell me how to downgrade or use a version I can control
I believe it also defaulted to experimental as the other wine paths weren’t compatible or “couldn’t find” something

Try this:
- first, if you have saves or something you want to keep, look for them inside
/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/STAR WARS Battlefront II Celebration Edition and make a backup
- then, rename that folder to something else
- then, in heroic's sidebar, in the wine manager section, install wine-ge-latest
- then, in the game's settings, select that wine in the wine tab
- then launch the game
if it still fails share a new log, if it works you may want to put the saves back to where they were and you can delete that folder that was renamedunwilling-turquoiseOP•5mo ago
Not sure if this matters but I got this pop up when trying the new wine

I’m thinking this is the issue…

Just verified on my pc that the same authentication pop up was there as well, but I was able to sign in to verify my license… not sure how to do that here

no idea, I don't really use any EA game
if the installer that you can download from the EA site doesn't work I don't know any alternative
