[Linux - EA App] Can't play DAI

Hello!

I recently had to move from Windows to Linux (Cinnamon Mint in my case) and since then I have to admit my DA playing experience has been... chaotic. First of all, it took me a long while to find how to install EA App through Lutris (tried other apps and none worked) then installing DAI was pretty smooth: I simply installed it through EA App. Managed to link it to Lutris but it never launched, figured out I had to first open EA App then launch DAI through the app but whatever.

My issue lies after that: DAI simply refuses to work properly. I imported my save and here's what I could do (marking it as spoilers):

I managed to take Dorian to see his father in the Hinterlands, came back to Skyhold, judged two people, had the discussion before starting the Wardens-Adamant quest and selected my party.

After that, I have an infinite loading screen and eventually I have to quit the game. Nothing pops up, I'm just stuck on the loading screen (the one just after seeing Adamant's picture and three tips).

I'm pretty sure the issue lies somewhere with Linux since I didn't change my computer and never had this issue before but I also have to admit I don't understand half of what happens in my computer so... I've obviously tried looking up at guides or searched for answers on the internet but most people use Steam (that opens EA App I think?) and none of the solutions helped.

So here's me praying someone here can help me out... If that's the case you'll have my forever thanks ❤️

Thanks a lot for at the very least reading this !

    It is about 5 or 6 years since I last looked at Linux, so I am afraid I can't help you with the core problem. 


    The easiest solution if you are not that tech savvy might be a dual boot windows / linux  installation. 
    Windows for gaming and linux for your daily work.
