Reproduction + Workaround on Ubuntu 18.04.2

1. Installing Origin

• Download: https://download.dm.origin.com/origin/live/OriginSetup.exe
• Create a directory for Origin and copy the setupfile there
• edit /etc/systemd/user.conf and /etc/systemd/system.conf so the line reads
  DefaultLimitNOFILE=1024:1048576
• reboot
• verify with
  ulimit -Hn
  should be 1048576
• Open a shell and run
  while true; do inotifywait Origin; chmod u+w Origin; done
  in it (Origin being the directory you copied the setup file to) this keeps all files in that directory writable while the installer tries to create them read-only and then tries to write them :)
• Use Steam to run OriginSetup.exe by adding it as a non-steam game, choose Proton 4.2-3
• Run the installer through steam
• Choose the directory you created (and running the above shell for) as target for the installer
• Installing might not work at once, you might have to restart (kill steam, origin and wine processes before you try again)
• After installation change the properties of OriginSetup in Steam to run Origin.exe instead

1. Run Origin from within Steam (remember me on login seems to be the best bet to start Origin reliably) (btw: no need for running the shell anymore)
2. Download Alice
3. Start Alice
