Any chance to see it running? I thought of qemu, wine, yuzu: do you know any working way?

    As I understand it it’s the anti-cheat that is the problem. If this is the only problem there is essentially only two possible ways to get Fortnite running in Linux:

    1. Get Epic to support Linux
    2. Crack the anti-cheat.

    Since a major part of anti-cheat systems is preventing people circumventing it I would say that the easiest path would be getting epic to support Linux. One valid argument would be to play Fortnite on Steamdeck .

      It is the anti-cheat. People have gotten the game to run via Proton, however you simply can’t join lobbies no matter what be because of the anti-cheat. It would just be a matter of Epic enabling support for Linux/Proton in EAC on their side, however Epic has publicly been against doing so stating some pretty nonsensical reasons to why they choose not to enable support.

      O forgot another possibility: what about waydroid? Any attempt to go with it?

            Sorry yes of course. Did you install ARM translation? Or root it? I am very curious about that.

            Btw, there is now a Waydroid forum here and I am looking for Admins ;D

            DRM is also working I think?

            There just is no good app for keyboard control, Smart Autoclicker is nice but only supports one press at a time.

              I did both as well as install the DRM component.
              Root was a pain because as an Arch user I was forced to compile linux-xanmod-anbox & add a kernel parameter to get root working. Unfortunately the Chaotic-AUR didn’t have a binary version of linux-xanmod-anbox & linux-xanmod-anbox-headers despite what the readme for waydroid-magisk says.

              There just is no good app for keyboard control, Smart Autoclicker is nice but only supports one press at a time.

              I tend to use a PS4 controller if the app supports it. It can be tricky to navigate without a touch screen that’s for sure.

              I wish Waydroid was more user-friendly out of the box but it’s pretty new tech bringing two pretty incompatible systems together without the help of Google engineers so I can’t fault it for that.
