The game ran exactly as expected as it would on a Windows device.
This game has a lot of problems or missing features in general that has nothing to do with Proton. For example, the game does not have proper widescreen support by default, so even if you chose a proper resolution some elements will not render correctly, such as the mini map. I was able to follow the exact same tutorials as those on Windows to mod the game into a playable state.
While there are some online issues, subsequent launches work perfectly and I've noticed no performance degredation over windows.
On first launch, the EA play loading bar stayed open in-focus infront of the game. I had to quit the game for it to dissapear. This no longer occurs.
Connecting to EA Online is hit or miss. On launch, I couldn't connect to an EA servers, spamming the go online button on the top left did nothing.
I had to mess around a bit by launching a single player instance and then go back to main menus. After that, hitting the online/connect button actually worked. Since then it auto connects on launch.

While not required, I installed the swbf2 remaster 1.5 r2
(by Anakin) via protontricks to fix the UI for higher resolutions (this is not an issue with proton, just the base game). The provided launch option is for this mod.
On certain areas of some maps, the screen has blue light square artifacts that blocks your view a bit.
Online worked perfectly, no tweaks required
