Issues

Doesn't work at all. You see the initial Origin installer UI, then it fails in the 1/4 step for "Installing: OriginThinSetup".

Proton logging doesn't work, as it doesn't go past the initial setup. However, here's my Steam log if it helps at all: https://pastebin.com/7hgQ1KLt

Total no-go.

Edit: After setting up Origin manually into the Prefix, I could skip over the Origin setup step. Still a no-go - log: https://gist.github.com/LiamDawe/57a8155e3c9cdb729d83d56da7c6e54a

Out of curiosity, what happens if you use this to install Origin: https://github.com/DrDoctor13/wine-origin-updater/blob/master/updateorigin.sh

[LiamDawe]

@Newbytee i was able to manually add origin into the proton prefix, still a no-go even after it then lets it skip the setup step.

Were you able to get a log?

[LiamDawe]

I already edited it into the OP.

Ah, oops. Thank you.

Mind you people are having activation issues on Windows so I can see the extra stuff here as being a problem for Linux [Proton].

It really depends on if Valve or EA wants it working on Linux anytime soon. It will either be or it could be a long long time if ever. Time will tell.

There's a good chance the link2ea error is due to you installing the regular variant of Origin. The Origin client shipped with Steam may have a protocol handler which handles the link2ea protocol request.

This would be the Origin thin client right?

[LiamDawe]

@Guy1524 true, but i've seen people mention on Steam they were able to just use their normal Origin install with the Steam version, as long as Origin was loaded it worked so I though that could possibly be an issue somewhere

Hopefully Valve/CodeWeavers/Wine hackers can do some testing and figure it out for sure. But until then, it's a bust.

[arrowgent]

whats the status of Origin launcher on winedb/protondb?

you might need to run this through the .proton prefix making your own "launcher" similiar to how i have GOG and several other windows programs running through a seperate .proton pfx

The problem with that is that with this game there's a new communication with Origin. Nothing might work at all and older Origin hints in regards to Wine/Proton may not apply to the issue at hand.

It would be nice if Valve or EA would say specifically if it should work or not but I assume from their silence that its not supported at this time.

For the record, Lutris is now able to workaround the issue, through some scripts. Here is the official Lutris install script to set it up to play Jedi: Fallen Order on GNU/Linux : https://lutris.net/games/install/16926/view

Bought it through Origin and it's working now with GloriousEggroll's Proton 4.20. Can't say if that also fixes the Steam version tho.

[CuriousTommy]

Has anyone tried running the game through the Windows version of Steam? I noticed that the steam client update log specifically talked about Installation support for STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™.

[Cxpher]

Hi,

What does working mean exactly? Platinum level working? How's performance?

I've limited the FPS to 60 tho

Seems like it was for the release on Steam (i.e. Windows), not for Steam Play.

I get that; I want someone to test the Windows version of steam through wine to see if this is a wine issue or a Steam Play issue.

@CuriousTommy I was able to install and launch this game via Lutris, using both Origin and Steam+Origin launchers (using the wine-jedi flavor of wine).

However, I won't be playing until nvidia releases 441 drivers for linux as the performance is dreadful.

[FrogTheFrog]

Ah, almost forgot to mention, this game requires Media Foundation for cut-scenes to work (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1464).

Could you explain how you proceed to launch it with Steam+Origin launcher?

[FrogTheFrog]

@julienbenjamin In my case, I've installed Steam via Lutris (I believe it's called Wine Steam runner or something). Then linked my existing game files to the directory where Wine Steam's game files were supposed to be (must be done before Steam starts installing the game for it to discover existing files, otherwise it just starts downloading whole game again). After I did that, I installed Star Wars and launched as usual.

Once your origin account is tied to your Star Wars game, you no longer need Steam - install Origin via Lutris, link game files like before, validate game files and you're good to go.

Keep in mind that you'll be limited to 5 game launches per 24 hours, as denuvo kicks in and thinks you're on a different PC :/ . Steam's proton somehow solves this, but Lutris and other Proton distributions don't.

Finally, it takes some time for origin to start the game itself - in my case origin would minimize and then would immediately pop up again, but after some time the game launches. Keep this in mind as you're limited to 5 games launches as I've mentioned before.

P.S. Game, might not work with ESync enabled, haven't tested this myself, but other people keep saying this.

[FrogTheFrog]

I have managed to run this game with GloriousEggroll's proton 4.21 build. It's not perfect, but at least it works for now.

These steps should work for anyone who already has Steam account tied to Origin via Wine Steam or just regular Window's Steam:

1. Install Star Wars and get greeted by "Try relaunching your game to continue linking accounts" error when launching.
2. Launch regedit for your prefix. For ex. type WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1172380/pfx/ ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/Proton-4.21-GE-1/dist/bin/wine64 regedit
3. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\link2ea\shell\open\command and change default value to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\Origin.exe"
4. Install Media Foundation workaround (normal version) manually.
5. Launching Star Wars via Steam, this will now open Origin client (Origin might not work with ESync enabled, however FSync seems to work).
6. Actually launch the game from Origin.

I've been trying to launch the game using these steps but it always crashes saying that it can't load DirectX. I followed the advice on the lutris wiki, but now it keep saying that there's something wrong with my install and it won't launch.

[Cxpher]

Ran into the same thing.

Says something wrong on install and won't launch via Origin.

You need to add non Origin game on Origin but it just says error when you try to launch it after that.

[AxelSilverdew]

So, I have no idea what happened but the game just magically started working for me a few minutes ago. Is there something I can do to figure out what changed?

[FrogTheFrog]

@Cxpher, @YamiYukiSenpai Game must be already added to your Origin account via other means (for ex. by using wine-steam or launching this game on Windows).

@AxelSilverdew If you mean that the game crashes after the splash screen, then it's normal (at least for me). You just have to keep launching it until, well, it launches. It's like winning a lottery...

[AxelSilverdew]

@FrogTheFrog, here's a quick rundown of everything I did so far :D

1. Bought the game on Steam.
2. Tried to launch the game directly from Steam using GloriousEggroll's proton 4.21 build, but that failed because it couldn't install OriginThinClient.exe.
3. Then I used the Lutris WineSteam script to install it, which got me to the point where I could link my Steam account to Origin.
4. Once that step completed, the game wouldn't run and it would throw a DirectX error at me.
5. Then I saw that I could just install Origin and run the game without Steam, so I tried it that way using Lutris' Origin script, but I ran into the same DirectX error there.
6. I looked at the Lutris Wiki's solution for that problem and followed it, and while it fixed the DX issue, it made the game throw a new error saying "Your game install is corrupt. Please reinstall and try again."
7. That remained the case until earlier today. Out of stubbornness I just tried launching the game from Origin again and it just magically started working with no issues whatsoever. Keep in mind, I made no change to the configuration or the prefix, it just decided to work today. :p

I'm getting super decent FPS with almost no stuttering on an RX 570.
