Deck Quickie: Fix EA App Launched Games with Proton Experimental Update (feat NFS Heat)

hi everyone this is Shane Arman road today we're going to show you how to restore non-working EA apps using the new proton experimental fix released by Valve so we're going to use Need for Speed heat which is a game that has been specifically pointed out to have this problem so I just installed the game fresh not in previously installed no files side loaded nothing this is literally right out of the box so first run you're going to get the EA app installation and after that you are going to get the dreaded EA purple screen of death it's like I like to call it this process takes longer than you would think it would take I mean we don't know what all is going on in the background here but pretty bulky the EA launcher itself is one gigabyte in size just the launcher forget about the game and guess where that launcher sits on that very strapped internal memory okay so once we successfully have the EA app installed it goes ahead and runs first time startup scripts this will look sometimes like it goes into a boot loop for those of you who are familiar with how these install scripts work that is not uncommon look at that it looks like it's just constantly installing DirectX over and over again but it really isn't it's actually doing something useful and we need to let it finish its job but you can tell like if you didn't know or you weren't expecting this you would think that it's broken that it's hung in this boot loop but in reality as you can see it is not okay so now it's done with its install scripts we're ready to actually quote Run the game so again I'm going to leave I'm not going to time compress oh there we go there's your purple bluish screen of death so it's gone you're you're done you can't go any further this is it uh so in order to fix this uh valve put out sort of an emergency fix on the proton experimental Channel and we are going to actually show you how to set this up right now let's exit the game we are going to hit the gear we're going to go into properties and then we're going to go over to compatibility we're going to force the use of a proton version and we're going to change to experimental but we're not necessarily done yet we need to go back and check our downloads nothing downloading right now we have to check our downloads to make sure that the new version of proton experimental came down it might be sitting in a queue mine did download but yours may be sitting there waiting to download so make sure you download that before you go and try to rerun Need for Speed after changing compatibility let's go again there should be no there should be nothing in startup there should be no startup scripts there should be no EA app install this should go right to the game and the reason I'm letting this sit here and run is because I want you guys to see just because it's sitting here spinning doesn't mean it's not working right we all get impatient okay there's our beta screen which we know now I'm not doing anything I'm just pointing out that the word beta is on top that will close the EA screen will come up right and then this will close on its own eventually I remember I haven't done anything I haven't installed any side loaded files or anything it's just working as it should but now now that we're done with the EA pass-through credentials nonsense now we have to wait for the game to boot and people who are afraid it's not going to work may say oh it's not working it's just sitting here spinning so it's not working not true you just gotta wait okay so the other parts of the equation that people are concerned about is that there's a loss of connection there's no connection um temporary connection lost as you can see we didn't have any of that going on this worked right in so I haven't gone through all of this nonsense yet gave away my firstborn child okay so I'm going to let this thing go ahead and fully load you've seen everything you probably came here to see and if you're still hanging out you're just wanting to see what it looks like when it does run correctly but there should be no connection problems there should be no other issues if you followed the video so far which is listen it's not very complicated if you followed everything this is the same thing you should be seeing if for some reason your connection dies right here that's something on your end probably it's probably something to do with your network or your internet it could be that EA is having a breakdown you just don't know but it's not the problem of your steam deck as you can see we got all the way through listen I hope this helps out please like subscribe leave comments you guys have been great we just passed 5 000 subscribers your subscription means everything to me I'm hoping I'm doing a good thing for you I hope you're enjoying the content if so like subscribe hit the Bell you guys know what to do I'm Shane R Monroe as always thanks so much for watching and take care
