The game is not installed or downloaded via Epic, instead the Epic Games Launcher launches Origin to link your account to install the game. This can be done manually to still be able to install and download the game without the Epic Games Launcher.
Origin needs to be installed and working for this, please consult https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/Origin.md for how to get it running on Linux via Lutris.
On Windows Origin just needs to be installed and ideally updated to the current version.
Linking your account & installing the game
In order to link your account you need something called an «exchange code», this can be obtained via legendary by copying the parameters used to launch a game, which in turn can be easily obtained via —dry-run .
Tip: If you do not have any games installed obtain Spotify from the Epic Games Store website, it is only around 80 Megabytes in size and quickly downloaded.
Note: The code is only valid for a few minutes, so if you have issues try again with a fresh one. It can also help to have Origin already running.
When launching a game with the —dry-run option you will get a command line something like this:
wine Game.exe -AUTH_LOGIN=unused -AUTH_PASSWORD=000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f -AUTH_TYPE=exchangecode -epicapp=AppName -epicenv=Prod -EpicPortal -epicusername=Name -epicuserid=0f0e0d0c0b0a09080706050403020100 -epiclocale=en
To link the account, copy the AUTH_PASSWORD , epicusername and epicuserid into the following command, then run it from within a cmd (in your Origin WINE prefix):
Based on the example above the final command should look something like this (with your credentials instead, obviously):
This should open a Window from Origin asking you to link your Origin and Epic accounts, afterwards the game should start installing via Origin (if the game is not installable, try restarting Origin).
Note: You may get a prompt asking you to register a product code, simply dismiss this as the game will already be registered to your account at that point and will be downloadable from your Origin library.
Attempting to launch the game via Origin directly will attempt to launch the Epic Launcher, instead you will have to use a similar command to the one above to run the game:
Note that only the password parameter here cannot be empty, but it does not need to be valid. Origin will launch the game afterwards.

Linux star wars battlefront
A subreddit for discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck).
This is a guide for running SWBF2 on linux with lutris:
— Install the required dependencies for Origin (see here: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/Origin.md ). Otherwise origin does not start.
— Download and compile if necessary proton-ge-custom 5.9-GE-3-ST. If you are running arch, use the package from the AUR.
— Create a new folder under ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/ (the name does not matter, just name it something like proton-bf2) and copy all the files under the «dist» directory of your proton folder to it. If you used the package from the AUR, you will find the files under /usr/share/steam/compatibilitytools.d/proton-ge-custom-stable/.
— Restart lutris and install SWBF2 with the lutris installer. Then, go to settings -> Runner options -> wine version and you should see a new entry with the name of the folder that you created earlier. Select it. Also on that page enable esync.
And you are done! The origin client is a bit finicky but it should install the game just fine. Performance is on par if not better than windows, though keep in mind that you will need to train the shaders by playing, which means that in the first 2-3 hours of gameplay you will notice some stuttering.
If someone knows how to update the description for a game on lutris, please reach out and I will post this there.
