At this point, making something that doesn't work using Wine or Proton is actually kind of an achievement, so congrats EA, you managed to fuck up both Origin and EA app. The actual game runs flawlessly, it's the launchers that are all kinds of broken.

The difference between Mass Effect Legendary edition working better than it did on my windows machine and hanging on the launcher forever is literally whether or not I have a controller turned on & connected. I don't know if I would have ever figured it out if it wasn't for a random poster on ProtonDB
