Some other things I've tried/discovered after looking through the thread linked below that was recommended to me:
- Tried launching EA App through the Lutris app, it either says it needs to install and update, which I press ok for, and it fails to install. Or it tries to open and then crashes and asks me to restart the app and does that in a loop. Here are the error messages I found from when it was trying to open:
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgamemodeauto.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored. (this happened twice in a row)
info: OpenVR: could not open registry key, status 2
info: OpenVR: Failed to locate module (happend right after one above)
I downloaded protontricks, however, the app needs me to open the EA app or Sims 4 in order to work / open at all which I can't do, so....

Ok so I downloaded the EA app AGAIN with Lutris and was able to actually launch it! Yay! Ok literally as I was typing that out it crashed ;-; I'm restarting it and it launched again and it keeps crashing after a couple seconds of being open, great. However, it does get farther then the other one so I might be able to launch protontricks now? I'll see
Nope protontricks does not even recognize it as open!
