EA App currently displays a blank screen when using NorthstarProton, however Northstar will still launch assuming you have logged in to EA App at least once.
{% endhint %}
+{% hint style="warning" %}
+NorthstarProton has some problems and may stop working at any point, if this happens you can try [deleting the compatibility directory](linux-troubleshooting.md#northstar-not-launching-with-steam) or visit the Northstar Discord for help.

> **Check your GLIBC version.** NorthstarProton currently only supports version 2.33 and higher. Verify your installed version with `ldd --version`. **Ubuntu 20.04 LTS** and **Debian 11** are known to have outdated GLIBC packages, meaning you will have to experiment with finding a Proton version that works for you, or use Lutris. It is therefore strongly recommended to use an up-to-date Linux distro to be able to make use of NorthstarProton. This check does not need to be completed on Steam Deck or Steam OS.
On Steam Deck, complete the following in desktop mode. You may return to game mode once completed _(A mouse + keyboard plugged into the Deck are recommended for easier navigation of menus)_
