The EA Launcher seems to have really fucked Linux users over, and I haven't seen any fix for it so far. I started a new playthrough of Mass Effect on Steam Deck which I had to abandon also.

try installing ea app through heroic games launcher, works flawlessly for me.

Ooh I hadn't thought of that! While I do feel a bit bristly about running Steam to run Heroic Launcher to run the EA Launcher to launch a game, I'll give it a shot anyway. That's gaming in 2023 I guess lol.

Thanks for the suggestion!
