I have tried multiple different versions of proton, ge proton, I have tried the EA launcher, and a few black magic incantations. It either runs at 4fps or will not load at all. I have tried everything i can find on protondb that is not an ancient report.

I am running Linux Mint Cinnamon on a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon with an Intel i5. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/pd100509-overview-for-thinkpad-x1-carbon-type-20bs-20bt

I used to install it with bottles and it seemed to work fine (but i haven't really played it apart from testing if it worked), but bottles gave me some issues as of late so i decided to install the ea launcher as a non steam game. It didnt work with regular proton but after using ge-proton the game booted just fine. I now have a weird issue where jedi fallen order doesn't work though. Tried both bottles and steam, but the game immediately crashes with an unreal engine error. It's weird because i have played it in the past on linux just fine.
