Proton log: https://nextcloud.alex9k.de/s/7LBCZ9azYNntYSw
Symptoms
The EA App opens, the game starts and immediately crashes. Depending on the Proton variant I get a black window for a few seconds, before it crashes, but with Proton 7.0.6 I don't even get that.
I get the same behavior on my other machine with a Ryzen 7950X and a 7900XTX
Reproduction
Start the game with Proton 7.0.6
Switched to mesa-git on my 7900XTX system and the game started working. Can't test (yet) whether that also fixes it on the 6600XT system
Hah, good thing I now included the device name in mangohud and noticed in another game on Proton, that it was using the iGPU from my 4750G. Ran NFS Unbound with VKD3D_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="6600" and now it works too.
I thought using DRI_PRIME was enough, but apparently that's not the case.
I have not been able to play this game for the past month due to EA app crashing while trying to start the game. Link to thread
bought the game yesterday, impossible to start it after a few restarts because denuvo can't get the license
I want to point out that when the drm doesn't block me the game works flawlessly, both with xbox controller and keyboard.
gpu: amd 7900xtx cpu: amd 7800x3d proton experimental vulkan radv linux 6.7 zen archlinux
edit: i had bought the digital game through a key officially sold by amazon, i forced through amazon to issue a refund, since I don't want to have to deal with a drm that blocks users who legally buy the game
It seems that EA App on each full restart thinks it is a different computer or something and the game server no longer gives new licenses for several hours.
I wrote to support, sent EA App logs regarding the license issue but nothing to do

Grepping for errors reveals that some Qt5Pdf.dll is missing, I don't quite understand why the copy protection needs to do PDF stuff at this stage of starting up though...

Symptoms
The game wont start at all, as the copy protection EA Launcher crashes with an ominous GUI error. Supposedly background services crashed.
Reproduction
- Download NFS Unbound (or any game with EA Launcher copy protection for that matter)
- Start the game first time
- Embrace the crash! :-(
Hey @kisak-valve, thanks for moving my ticket to the right place. Please do keep in mind that this problem affects all games which have the EA Launcher copy protection in place. (like #7543) So this isn't a game specific issue per se, more of a global issue with the copy protection.
EA app won't launch at first, but I removed wine prefix(for the correspond game) and switch to proton beta 9.0 it worked(after few restarts)
I was having the same issues with not having NSF Unbound launch for Pop-OS. I did exactly this and it launched first go. I do have it using Proton 9.2 however.
Hah, good thing I now included the device name in mangohud and noticed in another game on Proton, that it was using the iGPU from my 4750G. Ran NFS Unbound with
VKD3D_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="6600"and now it works too.

I tried doing that too, and the game opened, however, it crashed before reaching the first screen (where it says "Press Enter to start") There's my proton log, with all the stuff inside instead of Splitting the Trace and Traceless one : steam-1846380.log
