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

I can hear both of these quotes so clearly. I’m sad about what Blizzard has become.

Wait until you figure out that your DE is just a glorified launcher, and that it was launched by systemd.

Which was launched by your kernel which in turn was launched by systemd-boot. Now isn’t that cute?

Oh nice! I just use Lutris, but options are always good.

Did that too a while back, but anecdotally it feels lees buggy through Steam, especially regarding updates.

Also clicking the Stop button in Steam doesn’t leave behind zombie processes off Battle.net.exe and Agent.exe, which I had to manually kill when using Lutris. Assume that’s due to Protons(?) pressure-vessel thingy.

Steam went better than lutris for me as well. It all worked out of the box without any tweaks.

Only issue I have is that when i alt tab I can’t get back in the game for some reason. Screen stays black or it auto minimises again. I forgot.

I found that changing KDE activities (like a virtual desktop) back and forth fixes it.
