This video covers installing and running Dragon Age Origins on Linux through either Steam Proton or Lutris.

This game should work out of the box with the latest versions of Lutris Wine or Proton Experimental.

LUTRIS METHOD.

Step 1. Install Wine Dependencies

Step 2. Install Lutris

Choose the installation method for your distribution.

Step 3. Install Dragon Age: Origins.

Depending on where you have purchased the game from, the installation process will differ slightly.

For example, if you have purchased it from GOG.

Launch Lutris, click the GOG option under Sources on the left hand side and sign into your account.

From here, click on the game's icon on the right hand panel, choose the Wine option for GOG and install the game.

This will take a while, so be patient.

Alternatively, if you have purchased the game through Origin.

Launch Lutris, click the Origin option under Sources on the left hand side and sign into your account.

Next, click on the game's icon on the right hand panel, and install Origin.

Once Origin is installed, download the game from within Origin in the same way as Windows.

I also recommend disabling the Origin In Game as this can cause issues with launching some games.

After the game has installed, launch directly from within Lutris.

STEAM PROTON METHOD.

Step 1. Install Steam & Enable Proton.

Install Steam using your distribution's package manager, and sign into your account.

By default you will not have the option to install the game so you need to enable Steam Proton for all your library.

This is done by navigating to Steam / Settings / Steam Play / Advanced and ticking the Enable Steam Play for all other titles.

This should default to Proton Experimental which is what we want to use, next restart Steam to apply.

Step 2. Install The Game.

Download and install the game as normal, and once the process is finished, launch the game as normal.
