Yeah you're right. Thanks

Unfortunately, the EA app is a PITA to use under Wine, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Each game has its own workaround for it and I suggest checking Steam or Proton forums for solutions for the game that's causing you trouble here.

EA App now works in WhiskyWine 2.1.1 with the d3dcompiler_47 trick.

EA App now works in WhiskyWine 2.1.1 with the d3dcompiler_47 trick. Can you clarify on this? I found the d3dcompiler_47 under wine tricks on wine 2.3.2. do I simply need to run this in the bottle and then install the EA app as normal? I'm also trying to work on Battlefront II as listed above

I got it working last night to run battlefront. Turns out within the whiskyapp in the bottom right corner you can select winetricks -> then select DLLs column in the top middle -> scroll down -> D3dcompiler_47 -> run. It'll open the terminal and take a minute or so to complete the install automatically. Then simply restart whisky add a fresh windows version of the EA app to your bottle and you're good to go.

This got EA App working, but it crashes every few minutes.

Same behavior, crashes after ~2 mins. In my case, makes the game (BF4) to close even when it can run it without issues.

Had a shot of luck and could make it work for 8hs straight and play without a problem. Couldn't replicate it :(
