I tried that too, as I did have the GE option under compatibility when trying different versions. It just won’t install EA’s shitty app. I feel like on one of the Proton versions, it did “install” and booted up, but then just showed a black screen with nothing afterwards. I shut it down to try again because I know how finicky these things can be, and then the EA app was saying t wasn’t installed. I gave up after about an hour and went back to Windows. I work way too much to be able to sit there and tinker with this crap when I get off from a 10 hour shift…
You’re very kind to offer at least. I only use Steam. I bought it way back before I really understood that they require you to use their stupid third party brick. The sales got me, I will admit. $20 for three great games sounded so good. :/
The way I see it, Linux is supposed to be open, including sharing of knowledge. I am a big fan of that ideology. Information should be shared. And if I didn’t have folks willing to help me, I’d never have learned all I know. So I try to pass it on!
Let me know if you’d like some help, and I can try when I am not at work.
Not super familiar with openSUSE, but you could get protonup-qt and install Proton-GE.

I mean, use the tool that fits the job. I could probably help point you in the right direction. Is it from steam, or straight EA play app?
