I have a fairly vanilla fully up to date POP os install. I Went to the pop store and installed bottles for the very first time ever. EA Launcher installed fine and launched fine. It Seemed to download Command and Conquer Generals, Renegade etc it gets to about 73% then gives me an error with not much detail (EA for you) and that’s as far as I get. I do have the old Game CD’s if I could get instructions to do it that way I tried to create a bottle and launch Unreal Tournament from CD with no joy. Lutris and Game On Linux didn’t even launch orgin last time I tried to use origin so this did get farther and generally was a good experience up to the point the game didn’t install. Ryzen 5 2600 16Gb DDR 4 Geforce GT 1030 (Overkill for the old game)
I tried lutris with the same result
