I moved to Linux Mint fairly recently but still dual boot for a couple of programs that require Windows. I avoid Windows when I can but I like to play The Sims 4 and want to play it on Linux so I tried to install it on Steam (I own it on EA but it's free on Steam right now and I haven't been able to get Bottles to run the EA app without EA crashing before starting) but the EA app just blanks out when I run it. My EA account is linked to Steam (checked on EA's website to confirm that they're linked) and I can't find any other reason for this issue online. Any ideas? Thanks!

Edit: tried again after relinking my EA and Steam accounts and waiting a while to let it boot and so far nothing. Looking at Steam, it seems like it stopped at loading "Microsoft DirectX" so I'll have to go from there.
