Quoting: The_AquabatI think this script works run it after the game starts and with sudo.

#!/bin/sh
wineserver=$(pidof wineserver)
starwars=$(pidof starwarsjedifal)
renice -2 -p $wineserver;
taskset -cp 0-5 $wineserver;
renice -2 -p $starwars;
taskset -cp 0-5 $starwars;
exit

adjust taskset to your physical cores.

you would then define a NOPASSWD rule in sudoers specifically for running this script then

Quoting: use_forkGiven that the problem might be network/certification related my current suspects are the ca-certificates and the gnutls packages. Doing a version cross check of these packages on other distros might help?

I have found some updates in the last days with the precious support of the Wine AppDB Team.

It seems to be an issue related to missing certificates on Debian from release 10 onwards, and it applies to several other apps which might require dedicated SSL connections, such as Amazon Kindle for PC (any version). All the discussion is in the Wine AppDB comments thread:
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=26175

I'll copy and paste the relevant text here below:

Here a workaround for Debian Testing (see also for a related issue: Debian bug #962596, message #43 ):

• download the ca-certificates package version 20190110
• extract the content from the package and take these certificates ('data.tar.xz', folder 'usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla'):
• VeriSign_Class_3_Public_Primary_Certification_Authority_-_G4.crt
• VeriSign_Class_3_Public_Primary_Certification_Authority_-_G5.crt
• VeriSign_Universal_Root_Certification_Authority.crt
• create the folder '/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/extra' and put the three certificates there
• update the certificates with 'sudo update-ca-certificates'
• run Jedi Fallen Order, it should manage to get activated

I will apply this workaround in the next weeks, and keep everyone posted in case works.

Cheers,
Dave

It works. Marking this discussion as Solved.

Quoting: The_Aquabatso I updated my hardware and now the game runs just the same, this game is not well optimized. This is a Navi 5600xt somehow similar to a nvidia 2060. There's quite a lot of stutter on cutscenes specially. It was not a hardware problem as this card is 80% faster than my previous one, and performance is still bad.

CPU and OS?

Quoting: The_AquabatKubuntu 20.04
Cpu Ryzen 2600
16GB RAM DDR4

Something that improved a lot my computer performance (which I still stick to) is the Linux Kernel release: I'm still with the 4.9, and it works better than any 5.*

Quoting: The_AquabatI can't use that kernel because there's no NAVI support. Has to be 5.6 or newer.

In the last couple of days I have built and deployed a vanilla release 5.8.7 (current stable branch) from kernel.org in my gaming pc, and it seems to have surprisingly similar performance to my old 4.9 release. Have you tried this one too?

Quoting: The_AquabatThis is the last game I buy from EA, Origin it's just too bugged on Linux.
As a general rule, if you are looking for a seamless experience with Proton, just stay away from EA and Origin.

Yeah. EA Origin might work today, but break tomorrow, for some reason.

Quoting: The_Aquabathey @LordDaveTheKind

what's your opinion about the game? did u finish it? it's an awesome game in my opinion 9/10, but otoh I cannot recommend this to my Linux friends because of the performance issues. The most problematic stuff apart from origin is that every time you enter a new map (or load the game), it stutters for 3-5 five minutes or more, for me it was really really annoying, besides I got like 15 crashes, (got a crash dialog).

At the time I played, I was with an NVIDIA 1080Ti, and it didn't give me many significant performance issues. The most significant fix was to make sure that the Origin client does not mess up with the filesystem: usually, the Origin Client (running in background) was performing several Read and Write actions in the filesystem with regular occurrence, causing a slow down of the game performance and lots of game stuttering. Workaround has been to set read-only permissions to the Origin AppData directory in the Wine Prefix. A simple statement like this did the trick: chmod +a 555 -r ./Origin 

From the Gameplay perspective, as I was coming from the Sekiro 100% achievement (which would take more than 100hrs to an ordinary noob like me), I would have expected a longer game (you can complete the main story line in 30~40hrs, and all the achievements in 50). The game mechanics are not as clean as in Sekiro, but the game feels very enjoyable. You don't need to set the game to a specific hardship if you would like to get all the achievements (which I believe is an appealing choice).

Quoting: The_AquabatSpeaking about the gameplay, I really liked it but at middle game I struggled a lot then I started figuring out the mechanics and went more smooth, but it's not intuitive the way the combat works, for example there's always a small delay in each action you execute because every move you make triggers an animation and you cannot interrupt it, for example you want to parry but in the middle you decided you want to attack instead, you cannot do that you have to wait the animation of parry and then attack, it took me a while to figure that out. Also there's other combat mechanics that don't seem well implemented imho. But overall it was enjoyable and I never ever played anything souls like . It's a game aimed for the kind of people that like souls like games, definitely.

Yes I agree. In-combat animations are definitely the main reason why the combat feels a little clunky. You should definitely give a go to Sekiro, which has the original game mechanics (and better than all the other clones around).

Quoting: The_AquabatAnd it took me 35 hours to finish it, actually a little more really, because I went back a couple of saves and killed the final boss with a different strategy. But I don't have achievements because I'm playing this on Epic Store. But exploring everything to 100%, and getting all the chests and collecting all the items, it surely should take a considerable amount of time.

Not that much if you follow a wiki. By the end of the run I already had a 80% completion rate, and getting to the 100% was just following the right instructions then.
