Closes #2349
Except this doesn't actually work as the current launching mechanism for Proton in Luxtorpeda gets working directory via the commandline argument and EA games on Steam launch the game via an URL so it ends up like this: /home/mv/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/proton waitforexitandrun link2ea://launchgame/NorthstarLauncher.exe

Do not merge this for now because of that.

Culprit: https://github.com/luxtorpeda-dev/luxtorpeda/blob/master/src/command.rs#L515

Should be an easy fix in Luxtorpeda side

I've looked into it and it doesn't seem to work. The Northstar launcher is built to automatically launch EA App and then launch Titanfall 2 once EA App is successfully launched but the launcher does not do the second part at all on Proton, I remember this working on Windows but also being quite flanky but on Proton it just straight up doesn't want to do it.

Closing for now, I'll still submit pull request for proper launch sequence
