Ok. So I have a decent setup and running Mint because I do not want the hassle of Arch. I know Epic has said several times they won’t support us. Whatever, it’s lame. But my son has Windows 10 and plays Fortnite and wants to come to Linux. I have no problem with my steam games.
GE Force Now works great for my needs. But he is really into it. I tried a VirtualBox and no go. Heroic, doesn’t work. Lutris? Never loads. Fuguna downloaded but wouldn’t launch.
Is there any other option besides GE Force Now?
I totally understand. Just wondering if there is something else out there that I can’t find with searches.
Let’s say that you were able to find a way. Epic could then ban your son’s account for suspected cheating/hacking.
It’s not possible (I tried like you) to get further than the party selection screen. Matchmaking kills the game instantly. When I contacted Epic support, I was politely warned that their system would very likely classify my attempts to run on Linux as a bannable offense.
Ge force it is
The lag makes GFN playable, but I’m only able to laugh and make call-outs to my team. it’s better than nothing, but it is very disappointing to press the emote key and hear it play on my wife’s (Windows) PC in the same room before I even hear it.
But in a pinch, GFN connects you with friends.
I have better ping than my son in the next room. So I dunno.
