Shows black rectangle instead of enemy cards
Very slow to launch
I'm not good at RTS games so I didn't get very far. I expect it works fine in non-Experimental proton as well. In graphics settings, I set the resolution to something reasonable, enabled vsync, and disabled the other framerate limiter. Held solid 60 throughout.
No longer works following recent changes
Until a couple days ago, this was working fine (~57 hours of playing). Now it loads the game selector menu, but fails to launch any of the games - e.g., if one selects to start Mass Effect 3, it shows a couple loading screens and then goes back to the selector menu.
Poster below suggests this is related to changes EA made, and that seems likely - the game is running some background process that doesn't exit properly, and appears to load a store of some sort briefly on launch.
Changing proton versions does not appear to help.
Complete playthrough; no issues.
-dx11
Until DX11 was forced with the command line argument, I experienced the same very frequent crashes as the Gentoo poster below me.
Performance tanks when driving a vehicle. This has nothing to do with linux/proton; it's just badly programmed. Setting ExtendDrawDistance=2 mitigates this at the cost of making things pop in and out frequently - i.e., you can drive, but now the game looks really bad.
As with other titles in the series, this has the Ubisoft launcher which doesn't exit on game exit, so the game will need to be stopped in steam manually.
Steam overlay will need to be disabled for this game otherwise it will not launch.
This isn't Linux specific, but the game doesn't expose a lot of its configuration options. In particular, if you're playing with mouse+keyboard, you will probably want to fix the mouse input; see https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=264128099

Multiplayer won't work because EAC is disabled with these launch options. I didn't care about multiplayer so I didn't try without them.
Proton experimental didn't work at the time, but regular proton did. I didn't test GE.
On launch, there's a popup that says my drivers are out of date. This can be dismissed by hitting Shift-F2 (the ubi overlay) and then clicking close, but it won't dismiss automatically.
The game uses a fscking launcher which requires an ubisoft account and also doesn't exit by itself (so you'll need to click Stop in steam after finishing playing).
