Mass Effect Legendary edition Steam does not start in Linux

Hi I have bought the game on STEAM and it's supposed to work in Linux but it does not start.

There is some "EA-APP" that tries to install and then nothing happens.

How do I start the game??

I run Linux Mint on a gaming PC.

    I don't have a Linux installation itm, so I can't really test anything. 

    I would recommend to search support at Steam or the websites and discords of the tools. 

  • Solved!

    I got the error message "System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Video driver not supported" when I ran Steam from Console. So I checked the Nvidia drivers. It was on the recommended driver for my Nvidia GTX 980 Ti. Linux Mint suggested that I should run the 535 driver, but I changed it for the 580 driver and now the game works perfect.
