You should try launching Mass Effect LE from steam. It opens Origin, to then opens the Mass Effect launcher so you can pick which game to play.
IT’s so crazy to run into a comment that speaks about this. I recently got the urge to play Mass Effect, and wanted to replay through the series. I have had the game bought when it went on sale. I download all 100+gb of the game, and launch it to see some performance. EA app required. I might just request a refund, and then pirate the game, to be real with you all.
The launchers are pretty lightweight and don’t consume much. It is just annoying to buy the game on one store, it launches another store, only to launch a game launcher, then you can pick r̶̶e̶̶d̶̶,̶̶ ̶̶g̶̶r̶̶e̶̶e̶̶n̶̶̶,̶̶ ̶̶o̶̶r̶̶ ̶̶b̶̶l̶̶u̶̶e̶ I mean ME 1 2 or 3
Using proton through lutris
No. Don’t do that. Use wine-ge instead.
How about Bottles?
AFAIK you can set Lutris up to use GE or Proton builds.
I’m running WOTLK classic just fine with proton on Lutris ✅
Cyberpunk 2077 and BG3 quietly walk past…
At least you can launch those without their launchers.
Of course you could always add GOG Galaxy to Steam to get the ultimate perversion.
