I have the same symptoms on Gentoo with AMD Fury. Once I think the EA App managed to connect but some other problem crashed it anyway. I was also trying to run Jedi Fallen Order with Proton 7.0-5, Experimental and GE-7.42.
I ended up succeeding in playing EA App games, but I had to link my EA account to my Steam account using a Windows computer running one of these games there.
Horrible support by EA, these apps should be banned from Steam.
Everyone make sure your accounts are linked on a Windows PC before playing on Linux!
I have linked my EA account to Steam via the webpage, but that doesn't help.
Edit: to be more precise: as I start the game, I see EA app window which disappears and a message pops up with: "Oh snap, it crashed". I can restart the app and the game or app seems to keep loading up. Then I get another popup with: "Something went haywire. The background services aren't responding".
Isn't there any way of skipping this nauseating app? Or replacing it with Origin, since at least it works. I've been playing BTF4 through Lutris on Origin, and EA App seems to work fine there. But I got it on Steam and doesn't open up.

working nice here, with AMD card with proton experimental (bleeding edge), I want to know if theres a way to leave the ea app open after close the game, somentimes I can do, but I've no ideia how, with uplay connect works nice and uplay and ea games runs better than lutris through steam.
This happens to me with Mass Effect: Andromeda (only EA game ive tried so far via steam; other proton games work fine) Im playing on proton 6.3-8 and when i close the game it wont lauch anymore. I then switch to another proton version (experimental or 7.0-5), let the "first time install" and subsequent game-start fail, then switch back to 6.3-8, let it install, wait a bit and then it starts Im on Ubuntu 22.04 and sucessfully linked my accounts the first time the game startet. (The next day) I could play without having to change anything
I have a problem like this too, with The Sims 4. The EA app will launch for a short time, say it there is not internet connection (there is), then shut down without ever launching the actual game. I'd give more details, but that is all I know about the problem. (I don't remember how / where to get the Steam log off the top of my head.)
My only issue right now with the EA app is that none of my games would launch when I'm in offline mode on my Steam Deck, which is just extremely annoying.

I'm able to play e.g. Jedi Fallen Order with recent GE versions even though the EA App still crashes in the background. However I get no achievements. Other EA games like Battlefront 2 don't start due to EA App crash. Deleting prefix or reinstalling the game doesn't seem to do anything.
It seems like every time the EA App has to update, I need to delete the game's prefix to get it to launch again. (Sims 4. I haven't tried any other EA games.) Is this just a thing that one needs to do with the new EA app, or is there a fix for this?
It seems like its not processing the vulkan shaders correctly. Its takes much less time that it use to, but (if it give an error message) seems will say there is no video card -- so shaders seem to be at least part of the problem, whether or not its the whole problem.

Well, if that works ... what is the game's "prefix" anyway. I sure don't want to delete (and have to re-install) the whole game and its DLC.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition broke after the Proton 8.0 launch, now I can't play at all regardless of the version of proton used in compatibility mode. This being a 110GB game, I can't really afford to reinstall every day.
Behavior: EA App fails to launch, and/or crash before the game runs.
Titanfall 2. Played Last Week without problems. Wanted to play today. EA App urged me to restart and now the game won't launch. Is there a way to reinstall EA App without reinstalling the whole 66GB of the game?
Is there a way to reinstall EA App without reinstalling the whole 66GB of the game?
Yep. Delete the compatibility prefix folder - doable from the big picture mode game options menu, or by deleting the folder for the specific game id you want. (or rename it, so you don't lose saves if you need it). 'Play' in steam will run the installscript.vdf anew.
on my end it is still a show stopper - can't launch Titanfall2 because of it. This damn EA launcher fails with "Ooop something went wrong" and that's it.

Im getting the same issue with Proton Experimental and all of my EA games, including Titanfall. Link to thread
I have found that replacing ea app with origin works as a temporary solution. Here are the steps I took to make it work.
since the xorg
update from 21.1.8
to 21.1.9
star wars jedi survivor doesn't launch anymore
this is the log when trying to start from the ea app:

I finally got it working: https://gist.github.com/xrtxn/7dd87400eaab765f076c46d28c1272c0
Also, if I don't do this, it refuses to install under a wayland compositor. I switched to kde x11 and it installs fine using proton.
Compatibility Report
Name of the game with compatibility issues:
Mirror's Edge: Catalyst
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
(possibly other EA games that force this app, i don't know of any others since i don't have any more)
1172380 1233570
System Information
I confirm:
Here's a log using PROTON_LOG=1 of Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order with Proton 7.0-6:
steam-1172380.log.zip
Symptoms
Some EA App pops up with a window saying "LET'S GO!", you install it, wait until it's done, then it pops up, waits for a while, and says "something went wrong, relink your account to continue and try again" (or something like that). These games simply won't launch at all on PC despite the latest fixes to EA App games for the Steam Deck as of 7.0-5.
It's not a system problem, as I also tried on this hardware on both a properly set up Linux Mint and on Garuda Linux (arch based distribution meant for gaming). Same "something went wrong" result.
Reproduction
Please, can we have a fix for EA games on PCs running Linux? I'd like to try Catalyst and Fallen Order without bothering with Windows again.
