Launching on Linux

everyone says Battlefront 2 2017 runs great on Linux, it even has gold rating on protonDB but despite trying everything ive found it wont seem to run

it just opens the EA app and wont launch the game ive tried running proton GE on Steam, i tried launching with Luntris, i tried using wine and even a virtual machine nothing works
it used to run smoothly on windows but now wont load even after deleting it on steam and reinstalling or launching a windows 11 pro virtual machine it does the same, press play on steam or EA and it says launching game then opens another instance of EA app and says the game is running but nothing is actually launching

any help is appreciated

    From what I've seen, getting it working on Linux is hit or miss. Hopefully, someone else will have something for you, although chances are you'll need to look outside this official forum, since Linux is not officially supported for this game.
