If you gonna play the 3 games I can give some advice and some sadnews.
DAO is the oldest but works quite well on Linux, not a single problem.
DA2 need the fucking EA App crap bullshit to run, even on steam. Because of that crap I had a lot of problems with alt + tab, crashings, resolutions bug. To fix it I need to enable virtual desktop in the wineprefix with my monitor resolution, after that everything went smooth.
DAI again the stupid fuck EA App. If you are in the same situation than me: bought the game on Origin, not on steam, I have some bad news about mods. FrostyMods just doesn't work and is the EA bullshit problem. With the steam version someone made a patch for linux and looks like it works.
I haven't played that game, but I have some EA games that work great on Lutris. Have you tried that?
I tried Lutris, Steam and Bottles, the bug with mods on DAI for what I understand is because the EA crap App doesn't recognize launch options like Steam does so anything that depends on it doesn't work, I don't know why but with the Steam version you can pass I think was GAME_DATA_DIR option and Steam launches the game with the mods.
The bug on DA2 is probably EA not giving a shit with older games, the DAI, ME Andromeda and ME Legendary Edition doesn't have it.
@ZeroHora @InternetUser2012 ah, i see. dealing with game mods and launchers can be a bit tricky, especially when it comes to ea's app. here are a couple of suggestions that might help you work around these issues:
(Open the post)
@ZeroHora @InternetUser2012 1. **Use ProtonGE**: If you haven't already, try using ProtonGE with Steam. It's a community-driven version of Proton that often includes the latest improvements and fixes. You can install it and set it as the compatibility tool for your games. Here's how:
- Install ProtonGE via the setup guide: <https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom#installation>
- In Steam, go to the game's properties, select the "Compatibility" tab, and choose ProtonGE from the list.

Make the script executable (
chmod +x script\_name.sh
) and use it to launch the game. You might need to adjust the script depending on the specific requirements of the mods you're using.open again

Extremely annoying have to pirate a bought game because the pirate version works better.
