The #EA app is a massive nuisance, and even though Valve fixed the install with #Proton Experimental, it still breaks itself on #SteamDeck. Here's a workaround fix for now to get your games working again. Here's the first video on the initial fix from Valve and how to set Proton Experimental if you missed it: [ Ссылка ]

Steps:

- Set EA games to Proton Experimental. Properties - Compatibility - Tick the box - Select Proton Experimental.

- Make a backup of save files (IMPORTANT) as they might be removed during this. I cannot stress this enough, find where the save files are and copy them somewhere safe. JUST DO IT. You can find the Windows folders for games in the “compatdata” folder, and then the ID of the Steam game.
For example: /.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/*game_id*/

- In the games Properties - Developer - Delete Proton Files

- Launch the game again

This is the easiest fix I've found so far, that doesn't require the use of Protontricks or swapping Proton versions that could cause other issues (like a broken Proton Prefix) or anything else. Not all games need a save backup, but it's best not to rely on Steam Cloud (and some games don't have it).
