ROG Ally: How does SteamOS handle the EA app?

Heya,

I tried out Bazzite and felt it was a smoother experience than Windows, but games like Dragon Age Inquisition and Mass Effect LE got me back to Windows.

I tried a lot of tips by ChatGPT and tips from forums that had worked for others, but for me it didn’t work.

I wanted these games to work from game mode (not going through desktop) in a reliable way. EA app did not play well. I tried different Proton/Proton GE compatibilities.
What happened:
MELE - getting error message after preparing to launch. EA app remains open and I’m logged in, but game doesn’t start.
DAI - Game starts, but refuses to go out of mouse and keyboard mode / read controller.

Is it the same with SteamOS?

Thanks!
