    Under Linux, running a game on Epic is a pain next to Steam, so if the game is good enough…

      I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how to set up just the UnrealStore, FAB, whatever its called now, on Bazzite.

      My latest attempt saw me setting up a Debian container and ending up with 100GB of trying to compile Unreal from scratch.

      As far as I can tell, if you are running an atomic linux distro, it is onerous to be able to figure out how to just download like, a free material set or model from FAB.

      I’ve barely managed to get it reliably working for Unity… and then Unity goes and basically merges with Unreal and FAB.

      Yeah like, Heroic works for playing a game, but fuck you, apparently, is Unreal’s stance on trying to access content I legally own that isn’t a game.

        I use legendary (the command line backend for epic bundled with heroic) on windows as well. It’s just so much better and faster than the epic store.
