Hello,

I know this was officially solved about a year ago in this thread but the bug continues for me. I am running it on Linux using proton engine (version: proton experimental), so I can't download DxDiag. This bug happened a few times already, I always restarted the game and tried again. The bug happened all the times.

Hey @Raethan03,

Unfortunately, the game has no official Linux support.
Please see the system requirements page for SW: Squadrons for more information: https://www.origin.com/store/star-wars/star-wars-squadrons#store-page-section-requirements.

Thanks.

@Raethan03 I am having this issue as well. I had the issue a year ago as well, and it got to the point where I just uninstalled the game. Finally decided to try and come back, but the issue still exists.

@Raethan03... It does not matter if it Linux or Windows 10 the game still freezes at mission 9. This is such BS. It's been 2 years now, and EA just keeps giving its loyal gamers the run a round regarding this issue with Star Wars Squadrons. I feel like they stole my money, and wasted endless hours of my time dealing with this issue.

Thanks a lot EA. Thanks a lot...

@GuySteg It's march 2023, one year since this problem resurfaced, and yet no official confirmation or update from EA. It's all just simple BS.

May 2023 still not working. I'm pretty pissed that this hasn't been fixed in the 2 years that the bug existed, considering it prevents you from progressing in the game. Such BS.

I'm also new to the game and have encountered the same issue, now in 2024. New computer, just downloaded the game and it's not working. Would be great to be able to play it. I'd been looking forward to playing this for ages. Pretty disappointing I can't put in a ticket and seems to have no support any more in game.
