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:
- Get Epic to support Linux
- 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, however you simply can’t join lobbies no matter what be because of the Anti-cheat. It would be 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?
Not as secure as possible. Also no Google Play games.
Also no Google Play games.
Wrong.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Waydroid#Installation
https://docs.waydro.id/faq/google-play-certificationJust no ARM games on X86 without libndk translation library.

https://github.com/sickcodes/Droid-NDK-ExtractorSorry 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.

Looks like you can stream it from the Xbox service for free via edge, and you can install a flapak version of edge, if your distro can do flapaks
I just did a quick Google, I haven’t actually tried this so good luck! But it sounds like streaming it is the only way given the form of anti cheat used. Don’t think you can do it natively
