Valve pushed out a new update to their Proton Experimental branch today which fixes 3 different bugs with one of them being the fix for the EA Play launcher having a solid grey window (which makes our guide unnecessary!)

  • Fix Edge Webview installer throwing an error when starting Vermintide 2 for the first time.
  • Fix the new EA launcher displaying a blank window.
  • Fix The Anacrusis not displaying video when joining a match (experimental regression).
  • Enable nvapi for: Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online

You can view the full changelog with past updates over on Github. It is great to see no more need for Protontricks, which did cause some issues as others reported that some EA games didn't show up there. So from now on, use Proton Experimental to fix the EA Play issue!
