What works
Everything works almost perfect, a few very occasional crashes.
What does not
Standard Battlelog interface does not work, even with a user agent switcher and origin or ea play
Workarounds
Using third party launcher "Venice Unleashed" to bypass issues with origin/ea play. After the first run origin/ea play are not needed and there is an in-game server browser.
What was not tested
Nothing
Hardware tested

Additional Comments
This review is for BF3 with the Venice Unleashed launcher. Note that it uses third party servers, not EA servers. It enables a lot of cool games modes (gun master, zombies etc) and features like bots in multiplayer. Used Lutris and the "wine-ge-8-25-x86_64" runner. Installed EA Play app first and then the EA/origin version of BF3. Using DX11 and DXVK and an AMD RX580

Try FIX 1 first. If this does not help, then try FIX 2:
FIX 1: Go to wine settings (winetricks) and set "mouse warp override" to "disabled". In Battlefield 3 in-game settings, set "raw mouse input" to "On".
FIX 2: Go to Wine settings (winetricks) and set "mouse warp override" to default value ("Enabled'). In Battlefield 3 in-game settings, set "raw mouse input" to "Off".
This error shows up during game launch when using 64bit wine prefix. You need to use 32bit wine prefix in order to fix it.

I've successfully managed to:
1. Install Battlefield browser plugins + firefox.
2. Origin in Windows 7 32bit mode (XP mode asks to upgrade).
3. Login and attempt to launch the online match
After some errors, I always ended up with a message saying "your game is corrupted, please repair through Origin installer", but actually it's something related to file check or some kind of a self "mechanism" which detects (if something not OK) - game is "corrupted".
Wine 1.9.9 - doesn't work. Test data is pending for this one (or for 1.8.9)
