Battlefront 2 Linux Problems

Hello!
A while ago i accidentally turned on DX12 in the settings and rebooted the game, i clicked acidentally and then Quit because i was dumb and my head was like "oh yes, quit as we dont want it" and it rebooted. Now it wouldnt boot up, i can't find any settings folders or similar and other fixes in a subreddit didnt help either... I tried reinstalling the entire game now, with current Proton 5.13-16 (same as before) and it booted up and installed Origin but didnt launch the game. I Relaunched it and it still gave me the first time boot process and it crashed on Step 5, doing nothing. I switched to other versions and still nothing is working. It crashes either on step 5 or in the middle of step 5 of this process! That is worse than before, as i could at least see the loading screen before! I wouldnt know any other options to get the game to work so, i would love to see help on this! Thanks -Niko

FIX:
I reinstalled the game again and played around a bit with origin, which didnt help, at some point after a restart i could finally launch it, it had a blackscreen but i could hear music, i could interact with intro (skip it) but not the menu! I relaunched the game and i could now interact with the menu! What helped me out was pressing ALT + F3 (this is a button combo for the KDE evnvironment to play around with the window) and i turned it into windowed mode and it worked! I reset the resolution to my native and everything works fine now!

    @CT-NikosUniverse I MADE IT! I did everything i could, ALT + F3 (for KDE Desktop) helped me out, i windowed the game and now i can see everything! I am reseting the settings to my resolution in fullscreen and maybe reset DX12 to 11 in case the settigns didnt fully reset or smth, which i doubt.

  • @CT-NikosUniverse So I reinstalled it again and did everything i could to help it, now im stuck with hearing the music on the intro, i can interact with the intro (skip it or let it play) i can hear the music but cant see it... when im finally in the menu, everything is still black and i cant interact with anything, just hear the music and stuff!

    I just got this issue as well and a better fix that worked for me was running this (in a terminal emulator):
    rm -r $(find ~/ -name "1237950")
    This deletes the directories in your root directory with the App Id of SWBF2 in them. I do not know what exact files should be deleted but this is in my opinion better than reinstalling the game entirely.
