minus-squares38b35M5@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoThe one Epic game of mine that won’t play on Linux in Heroic is Fortnite. So you’ve had the option for a few years. I have my doubts that EAC will work on Linux, and if it did, I wonder how many of us would accept their spyware/malware on our machines.
minus-squarebitfucker@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 day agoEAC can work on linux already. Dev just choose not to opt in to it because I think it offer less anticheat protection
minus-squarebigmamoth@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoIt does offer less protection. U dont have kernel access, ring 0 how it s called on windows. Apex was availlable under linux and cheater start identifying their system as linux so the protection were less agressive. At the end apex drop the support
