TWEAKS & TRICKS
EA App Launch Failure: The game fails to launch due to an issue with the EA App, often manifesting as “An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later.” This is linked to environment variables exceeding a certain length.
- Solution: Run the following command before launching the game through Steam:
for var in $(printenv | cut -d= -f1); do [[ $var =~ ^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$ ]] || continue; export "$var"="$(printf '%s' "${!var}" | rev | cut -c1-1000 | rev)"; done; %command%
EA App Reinstallation: A recent EA App update breaks the existing Proton prefix. Reinstalling the EA App inside the Proton prefix resolves the issue.
- Solution: Manually install the EA App into the game’s Proton prefix:
/home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata//(Note: The “//” should be replaced with your specific game ID. Check your Steam installation path).
Verdict:
Despite an initial hurdle with the EA App launch, STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor™ runs exceptionally well on Linux (Proton) once launched. Users report stunning visuals at 2K native resolution, with ray tracing at a solid 60fps. The initial setup requires manual intervention, but the performance once stable makes it a worthwhile buy for Linux gamers willing to troubleshoot.
