Symptoms
The game will crash upon trying to load into some kind of gamemode. I've attached separate logs for single and multi player if that helps.
Reproduction
- Install the game, log into origin (this may crash the game and you may have to do it again).
- You may have to set Origin's game folder. My installation wanted me to do this when origin popped up, but it didn't prevent the game from loading.
- The game's menu will load - try and go into a mode and it will try to load (in multiplayer it will appear to connect), then the game will freeze for a couple of seconds and then crash.
@kisak-valve Sorry, I uploaded the wrong logs. I just updated them above. Interestingly, somehow I was able to partially load into a multiplayer match this last time, but the game crashed before I could choose a character.
I am also crashing to desktop when trying to load into a multiplayer or singleplayer match, even with DX12 turned off and all low settings.
Here are my system specs, I am using an NVIDIA GPU: https://gist.github.com/ipkpjersi/8f3de38b976e513026622957a08d2300
I confirm that the game crashes when I try some kind of gamemode.

This might be a Proton exclusive issue, because I play the Origin version just fine through Lutris.
@ptkato What version of Wine are you using with the Origin version through Lutris? I'll test tonight with older versions of Proton to see if maybe that's the issue...
I had flawless performance using Staging 4.14. I wish I could test with a more recent version, but I'm having problems to download the game; which is kinda ironic, the game works fine but Origin messes up everything.
I can confirm that the Origin version works. AMD users usually have to edit the dxvk.conf file to spoof an Nvidia GPU, but that's it, and either way that's not the issue here, because the game won't launch at all without doing that on the Origin version, so this is a separate issue.
I tried running Proton and Battlefront II manually with: STAGING_SHARED_MEMORY=0 WINEPREFIX=/media/user/SSD/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1237950/pfx /media/user/SSD/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.0/dist/bin/wine /media/user/SSD/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1237950/pfx/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Origin/Origin.exe and it did not work. I also disabled Steam in-game and Origin in-game which also did not help. I think this is an issue with Proton itself, hopefully it can get patched some day to fix this.
Battlefront II requires a lot more than just that. Look at everything Lutris does to run it, and even then sometimes it still takes manual intervention.

I get stuck on updating origin (literally, it loops until it errors, I close out, same thing) using the latest GloriousEggroll release, that's a shame.
Edit: I relaunched Steam and tried again with the latest GloriousEggroll release, I was able to get in-game and get into an arcade match without crashing. I was also able to play Heroes vs Villains online multiplayer as well. Awesome!
Using the latest GloriousEggroll release, I was able to start a couple SP games with no game crash.
Were you having micro stutters as well? In Glorious Eggroll I can play but micro stutter constantly.

I don't think I noticed any, I'll have to see as I play more. This fix mentioned here, making the Origin folder read-only, might eliminate the stutters.
The command for reference:
chmod -R 555 your/path/to/steam/steamapps/compatdata/appid/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application\ Data/Origin

I don't seem to have an application folder? I have Appdata or ApplicationData do you happen to know the appid? The appids I have in the compatdata folder don't match the steamdb id for the game...

I found the origin folder, forgot it was on another drive still didn't have an application folder I will try that command see if it fixes
@yurgburg then you're looking in the wrong place. It's possible you installed the game somewhere else.
Open Steam, go to the game properties, and look at the local files. You can click to view the local files and it'll open your file manager so you can see where the game is installed. That'll be where you can find the compatdata/appid directory.
You definitely have one matching SWBF2, there's no way you don't (unless you have the origin version, of course).
Run ls /path/to/library/steamapps/compatdata/1237950/pfx/ and paste the output

Yeah I found it in my other drive (how silly of me to forget). is there a way for me to copy the path?
What do you mean copy the path? Where is it located?
Yeah copy the folder path so I can just paste it into the command ( I am new to ubuntu sorry)
I'm not sure what you're asking...
What are you wanting to copy? What terminal are you using? If you're using regular Ubuntu, it's probably gnome-terminal. You can highlight and right-click and you'll see the menu and you can copy and paste that way in gnome-terminal.
Otherwise, most terminals (also including gnome-terminal) use CTRL+SHIFT+C and CTRL+SHIFT+V for copy and paste, respectively.

I want to copy the location of the folder So I don't have to manually type it out in the command prompt. In windows I could just click the path and CTRL + C but it doesn't seem I can do that here. Does that make sense?
@kedodrill I don't think that's what they're asking. They're asking how to physically copy (I think?)
@yurgburg In Linux, terminals use CTRL+SHIFT+V for paste (and CTRL+SHIFT+C for copy). But gnome-terminal, the default Ubuntu terminal, you can just right-click and then click paste.
Or you can just open your file browser, go to the folder, and right click on it and hit "Copy." Then go to the terminal and hit CTRL+SHIFT+V, that'll also paste the path.

I tried copying the path from an open in terminal window and then tried the command and I got this output https://imgur.com/a/k3S8Pjf. Any suggestions?
I did have not great performance and I believe even some microstuttering when I first ran the game, but after I went through a few matches, performance was great and I did not have any other issues when using the latest GloriousEggroll release.
@yurgburg You can copy the path to the directory you're in by using
pwd.
Yes that is exactly what I meant! I used the path given and I got no file or directory found. I posted the error in terminal above.
