Thank you, booman, for the great and detailed instructions - even an unexperienced user like me can understand them. I followed all the steps and it looks all exactly like described, but I'm failing at the final frontier: When I try to launch the game, it just doesn't do anything. Am I missing something? I got it all installed and get the button "Play" in Origin, but when I click it, the button just goes inactive and nothing happens. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 with an Intel Sandybridge Mobile x86/MMX/SSE2 and PlayOnLinux 4.2.10. Your help would be much appreciated! I tried running this from Steam first, without any success, and I was thrilled that Origin with your tutorial brought me a step further, but I would really love to play now.
Thanks for posting! Make sure to install the newest version of PlayOnLinux: 4.2.12 Steam, Origin, Uplay and many other clients eventually have issues in PlayOnLinux/Wine. but for the most part they can work with some trial-n-error. If you are using the Origin version, make sure to follow the guide carefully, but it is getting a bit old and something may have changed in Origin that can break Wine. I recently made an Origin guide for Kingdoms of Amalur You may want to follow that Origin install first. Second, make sure you have 32-bit libraries installed and proprietary video drivers installed.
