Launched the EA-App installationfile from Steam (proton experimental) and installed the game from the EA App.
Launching the EA App with Steam (Proton Experimental)
Launches faster then on Windows 11
To run the EA-App-Installationfile from Steam go to Games->Add Non Steam Game-> and select the file. Then make it executable with proton experimental and launch it.
EA App doesn't launch the game
I got the game for free on Epic Games many years ago, I also bought the game on Steam.
Neither launchers can start the game, EA App will always say "Failed to launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later."
Tried executing Epic Games on Lutris and starting the game from there, using various Proton versions, none of them worked out. EA App doesn't launch the game
Tried executing the game via Heroic Games Launcher, but EA App doesn't launch the game.
Tried executing the game via Steam using both Steam and Epic Games launchers, but EA App doesn't launch the game.

Arcade crashes very often when returning to menu or replaying.
Minor connection problems but it could be on my end.
Overall the game runs very well. Other than the crashes after an arcade match (which isn't all that bad since it happens AFTER the match is complete).
Наконец-то EA починила свои сервера и antycheat. Теперь могу спокойно играть с другом в мультиплеер моей любимой battlefront.

Наконец-то попрробовал запустить игру на новой альфа версии PopOS! 24.04 С новым Cosmic DE. Никаких проблем замечено не было
Также новый Cosmic DE осуществляют отличную поддержку с работой окон и плавной работой игры. Спасибо System76!!!
Kernel 6.15 + NVIDIA not working
Updating to 6.15 with NVIDIA drivers on Arch has made the game stop functioning. Not sure what is wrong, I'll leave that to the people that know what they are talking about lol
TDP 12W
Clearing the corresponding compadata folder fixed the issue
EA App update made the game not even launching but as before removing the game's compatdata folder fixed that issue. Take a note: sometimes it may take more than ine attempt to run the game properly.
Switching fullscreen/borderless requires reset for stability
Issues limited to EA servers.
A bit laggy at the begining when loading maps, but it eventually stabilizes
Avoid nvidia 575 drivers... Broken in nvidia 575 drivers, had to rollback to 570 along with the kernel to 6.14. After rolling back, EA launcher still wouldn't launch but reinstalling fixed that.
Works really well out of the box no tinkering required
Anti cheat fully supported
BORKED after updating kernel and Nvidia drivers - worked previously
On CachyOS - game worked perfectly (Platinum) under kernel 6.14 and Nvidia drivers 570. After recent update to kernel 6.15 and Nvidia drivers 575 it no longer launches, irrespective of what version of proton is used. Restoring system snapshot of old kernel and driver allows me to play, but this is not a viable long term solution. Hoping for Nvidia driver patch to fix this issue. Driver 575 has been known to break other games as well.
I don't have the game via Steam, only with Epic. Just switch to ge-proton9-27 and the game will work.
didn't work with proton-cachyos nor ge-proton10-4
Runs great no issues
Borked. Game instantly finishes install and never launches.
40HZ/40FPS, 12w TDP
Have tested with a few different version of Proton including Proton9, Proton Experimental, and ProtonGE10-2. The game runs fine, but crashed a couple times in single player campaign mode regardless of which Proton version I used. Either way, it was pretty fun and mostly runs pretty well.
I was able to play online and stuff but with major performance issues compared to windows boot.
Performance went like rollercoaster and sometimes froze for multiple seconds.
EA App does not start the game
Regardless the version of Proton, EA App starts and is successfully connected but the game won't launch.
for var in $(printenv | cut -d= -f1); do export $var=$(echo ${!var} | rev | cut -c1-1000 | rev); done ; %command%
stuttered, but probably need to tweak some gpu settings
Wouldn't run without the launch options script which handles the problem long env vars. I don't have it running as smooth as I did on windows 10 yet, but it runs and it's more than playable so I can't complain.
Disable UMU, in Advanced tab under game settings!
Multiplayer works as expected, however there are issues around connecting to EA app, "getting online". Keep trying and it will eventually connect.
There are issues at the moment for some people it seems. However disabling UMU in Heroic Launcher solved this for me. This means you have to run the game through Proton. A lot of people are having good success with GE-Proton.
Played mostly flawlessly via Steam. Online connect had to be tried several times. Cut scene hitches. Good other than that.
Random hitches in video frame rendering primarly during cut scenes between matches, rounds, etc. Nothing breaking during game play.
Connecting online gave me a 721 error (I believe) but just tried 3-5 more times and it worked without issue for hours after it connected.
Game works great!!
runs great in arch!
EA app breaks game
I've tried every version of wine/proton I also tried bottles. It seems like the EA app completely breaks launching this game.
The game functions flawlessly, and I did not experience any issues!
Borked
Tried both through steam and heroic, can get into EA but won't launch the actual game, tried every proton variant, seems like EA strikes again.
Borked due to EA App
Staging > check "Hide Wine version from applications"
When launching the game, the EA App will install, and launch BF2 afterwards, however it will then throw "An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later." Despite what it says, trying again later does not fix this.
If you also own the game in the EA App directly, trying to play via Bottles may be your best bet, as I've that worked with other EA games.
Game would randomly loose focus A la an alt+tab but no crash
Always had connection issues even on windows on startup but just click reconnect a few times and it'll work
DX12 mode is unplayable
Surprisingly works really well other than that DX12 mode seems broken
shimmering
GE would not let me play with my friend. I was constantly appeared offline even when connected
Fuck EA. Great game DICE
Experimental is the way to get the game to work! Also if u get code error code 721 while connecting online just keep connecting until it doesnt give error code 721 old battlefront 2 issue never fixed it will let u connect eventually.
Flawless !!
Creating a squad and inviting my friends to play ... all good .. matches load fast and no problem !
I played a few matches with my friends .. and everything worked as intended .. no tinkering whatsoever, flawless, out of the box experience !...
Game works amazing. i would suggest turning graphics settings all to low as there is no difference visually but you get a huge fps boost.
capped fps at 45, set tdp to 10
sometimes the ea launcher prevents the game from launching and what you have to do is go into the developer settings of the game and delete the proton files then launch the game again
Run winecfg > Staging > Hide Wine version from applications
Online works fine after tweaks.
Without tinkering, the game won't let you play with friends as EA won't connect at launch, only with random people.
Works great
Runs even better than I expected given my mediocre specs. The EA overlay even works well
