I've actually had a good experience with ALVR lately, specifically the nightly version. WiVRn (Monado) has gotten pretty good too. You might consider testing vr on linux out again if you haven't recently.

Most of Percy Jackson took place outside of Camp Half Blood, unlike Harry Potter, which takes place mostly at Hogwarts, so it's not surprising that Hogwarts got more detail. Also, Camp Half Blood had like 50 people in it unlike Hogwarts that had hundreds, so naturally it'd be less noteworthy.

Edit: I just checked and only 6 of 22 chapters of The Lighting Thief take place at CHB.

They sorta do. Flatpak user install puts shims in ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin/. You just need to add it to your path.

I'm pretty sure flatpak system installs are at /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/ so you'd just add that to path.

The desktop app is called "EA App" not "EA Play" which is where the confusion is coming from. "EA Play" is the game subscription service that's like gamepass.

I had the exact same issue as you in Apex Legends, and I was able to find a workaround. Basically, nvidia reflex didn't work with dx11 (DXVK) at all, but forcing the game into dx12 (VKD3D) mode worked without issue.

To enable, you just need to set this in your launch options.

%command% -anticheat_settings=SettingsDX12.json

Also, you may need to set the nvapi environmental variable, but I'm pretty sure nvapi is already enabled in proton for Apex Legends.

I recommend using proton experimental as it uses an up-to-date version of dxvk-nvapi

As of proton 9.0 the environmental variable is now PROTON_FORCE_NVAPI=1

From the article:

“Industry traffic has declined in major markets like the U.S., Australia, Canada, and Germany. In several markets, we also continue to be negatively impacted by the war in the Middle East,” McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski said on the company’s earnings call.

So it does seem to be working to some extent.
