Lutris game manager v0.5.14 adds EA App integration, expanded Flatpak support
The game manager Lutris has a brand new release out with some sweet new features, so time to take another look at one of the best ways to run games from pretty much anywhere on Linux and Steam Deck.

I wonder how well the EA App will work - not because of Lutris, but because of how broken it is. Many people still cannot play games they have purchased for many months now. EA doesn't care and is still selling games on Steam that are broken due to their shitty launcher. For a while, some solutions to keep using Origin worked, but not anymore, least for me.
On a different note: when will this update be out on Flathub? I can't seem to find that info anywhere. Anyone knows?
Flathub has been updated by now.
I've been running the EA app through Lutris as just a regular program and it works "fine", Sometimes it crashes on launch but all games I've played through it from Battlefield to Titanfall 2 have worked.
Funnily one of the things that got me to try Linux was the EA App randomly stopped working on my Win10 install. Seriously how has EA kept their desktop client such a buggy messes after all this time? Origin was a load of crap but I still had less issues overall with it.
Yes I've been running it like that too but sadly many games don't work with the EA App at all. Just by a glance at the official forums one finds lots of threads complaining about it, asking how to keep using Origin instead and the like. Respectively on Steam, same complaints. I'm having the "you don't own this game" issue with Mass Effect 3 since June now and there is no fix. And I own it of course. Been playing Multiplayer for years now. I was just hoping that with the integration to Lutris some of the issues might get addressed.
Oh wow, that really fixed it. That's a huge win, great job Lutris!
