recently I decided to give a try to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, as it was on a 50% discount on Steam. The latest reports on ProtonDB.com were enough reassuring, so I decided to give it a try.
To my (not that much) surprise, any time I try to run the game (mandatory via EA Origin), I always face the following error message:
"We've noticed your computer is currently offline. To activate your game on this computer using your EA Account, you'll need to connect to the Internet"
View cookie preferences.
Accept & Show Accept All & Don't show this again Direct Link
Closing the message window will exit the game execution.
Needless to say, the computer is definitely connected to the Internet, and the same EA Origin can browse all the pages displayed in the client with no errors. Furthermore, there isn't that much related to previous Linux/Wine issues with the same error message if I try to google it.
This issue has been experienced with all the know running methods:
Several versions of Wine have been tried:
All of the above are stuck at the same point.
In addition, all the following workarounds have been tried, without any success:
Full log is available here: https://pastebin.com/g4WhhsjM. What concerns me about it are the lines at the bottom, which I can't understand if they might be related with the allegedly missing Internet connection:
00e1:fixme:shell:CustomDestinationList_BeginList 0x1edb540 (0xb5afbac {92ca9dcd-5622-4bba-a805-5e9f541bd8c9} 0xb5afbb8): stub
024d:fixme:crypt:CRYPT_CheckUsages unimplemented for RequestedIssuancePolicy
001c:fixme:netprofm:list_manager_GetConnectivity 00F0A5B0, 0178DB44
Do you have any advice, or any idea on any additional test I could try for figuring out the root cause?
Cheers,
Dave

That error says displayname missing from registry. Have you looked into what registry entry it may be looking for and creating it in the wine registry?
Even after running it on Windows, the error message in my Linux system is still displayed every time.

Yeah. It wasn't easy to identify what registry entry it was referring to. If it is just a missing registry it may be resolved by creating it, determining exactly what registry entry is needed could be difficult. Hopefully either on the proton side or the origin side it will get fixed soon.

My issue is fixed by running Titanfall 2 on another system (Ubuntu) where I have wine and it's deps installed. Do you have wine on your Debian installed?

I just updated my Debian Testing today and the game starts fine now.
I tried then to update Debian to Bullseye/Testing, and repeated the test, but I got the same error message. Here below a summary of my new tests:
All the cases above used the NVidia Graphics driver version 440.100.
Anything I could check in the packages list? Maybe some of them are in an older version, although I did perform a dist-upgrade and full-upgrade.

There is no agreement why this issue occured on Debian with Titanfall 2.
One person in the thread blames an older version of p11-kit, but two other (including me) already had that updated to latest 0.23.20 when the issue first occured.
Do you wish to try Flatpak version of Steam? It has some quirks (installing games outside of home folder requires some configuration) and strange bugs (on one of my machines, it did not detect one button of an Xbox controller) - that's why I stopped using it, but you may be lucky with that.
Be careful migrating though, I learned the hard way that some games that don't use Steam cloud keep their savegames in Steam folder instead of usual ~/.local/share/
