 |
|
I'm having an issue where I am unable to get any game running through steam to launch if it needs the origin launcher. For example, Jedi fallen order and Battlefront 2 do not launch (Origin doesn't even show up). All other games work just fine, I just can't get origin to work. I launched steam through command line, the only errors I noticed were a whole bunch of
ThreadGetProcessExitCode: no such process xxxx
and a few:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/user/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/user/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored.
However, these messages appear when launching games that do run too, so I have no idea if they are at all related to the issue. I installed steam from the steam-overlay using layman, and my system is fully up to date (~amd64). I have also tried multiple different kernel to no success, including a zen-kernel. Any help appreciated. |

| Have you tried moving/wiping the wine bottle associated with the game to force an origin re-install? |

I haven't used Wine for Origin, but it works alright with Proton-6.15-GE.2 on my system.
Floating layout must be used on dwm, or the Origin window will not appear, or will be completely black.
This is the script that I use to launch Origin:
| Code: | | STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="$HOME/.local/share/Steam" STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="$HOME/Games/Origin/proton/" "$HOME/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/Proton-6.15-GE-2/proton" run "proton/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Origin/OriginThinSetupInternal.exe" |
If proton/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Origin/OriginThinSetupInternal.exe doesn't already exist for you, you need to point the command to Origin's installer for it to populate your Proton prefix.
After it has done installing, use paths used in my script above to launch Origin.
I just tested and confirmed that at least Battlefield 4 & Battlefield V launch fine. |

Proton is wine mate, the /whatever/SteamLibrary/compatdata/(app id)/pfx is the bottle (or prefix).
I had an issue with Origin when proton went from 5.x to 6.x, but on now using 7.x it works again, but had to clean the bottle first. I'm not blaming the 6.x version though, it's more likely a general problem with Origin during that time, and I'm just using wine version as a timescale. |

| I have not tried wiping the wine bottle but might try tomorrow, kind of doubt this will fix it as this is a fresh install. I'm using sway, so yes I think I do need to force origin to float. The problem is, I'm not sure if I can do that without knowing it's app id, and if it's not opening so I don't know how to get the app id. I don't have the compatibilitytools.d directory at all, not sure why, but I'll try to tinker around with it some more. |

The folder is not present by default.
That's the place to unpack your non-Steam Proton releases (ie. the GE builds of Proton, for example), but that's not crucial for handling non-Steam programs/games.
If you have installed Proton versions from within Steam, the paths to their binaries will probably be .../steamapps/common/Proton <version>/proton
Wine-GE also exists, which might be better for running non-Steam stuff, but I have personally used Proton-GE. |

Hm, so I ran the script with these changes:
| Code: | | STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="$HOME/.local/share/Steam" STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1237950/" "/home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/proton" run "proton/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Origin/OriginThinSetupInternal.exe" |
And bash didn't return any errors or messages, and nothing happened, which is a bit odd. I also tried to force all window to float, and origin still did not launch, really not sure what else I can do.
EDIT: I forced the use of an older version of Proton in steam, and this finally got the origin window to appear. Unfortunately, halfway through the install it crashes, opens a white window for a few seconds and then crashes again. |
