i want epic games to fuck off forever we dont always get what we want

Please keep that on windows, exclusively. Forever.

All you have to do is say fuck almost all the reasons i switched to linux and BAM youll be playing a shitty free2play royal rumble shooter in no time!

This article is a giant softball for EGS, and the author should ashamed of it.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun was willing to call them out

Well well well, fortnite losing tons of players, epic firing thousands of devs ... suddenly the people that are switching to linux getting more relevant huh timmy.

You can go fuck yourself tho.

so Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 need to be on

Nah, fuck off and stick to Windows.

EAC Linux v2 runs a systemd service that stays active just for the length of a protected game session, alongside eBPF programs written by Epic that watch for tampering and cheats.

For players, this means a stricter boot setup, so Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 need to be on, the kernel has to be signed with a key Epic recognizes, and several other boot and kernel settings come into play.

EAC checks all of this only when a protected game launches, and failing the check brings up an error, not a ban. Players can also keep a separate boot entry for protected games and run their own keys elsewhere.

So I guess MOK is not supported? That would make it impossible to play with Nvidia drivers because they need a MOK for signing.

Using eBPF is actually a pretty neat idea, but I guess MOK would be too easy of a bypass because you can sign your own kernel modules and just do whatever in kernel space.

It's way better than a crappy kernel module but I wonder if hackers will actually abuse this for access over windows, especially when the Android version is also right there without any significant anticheat.

No thanks, i dont care for anti-cheat titles to begin with and there is Heroic in case i need to run a game from epic store.

Fortnite must be hemmoraging players for them to do this.

Needs TPM, Secure Boot, and restricted Distros. Naw Dawg... I'm good.

Fuck off and do the anticheat server side, stingy cunts.

No thanks. Piss off Timmy boy

Stick it up your ass, Tim Sweeney (the bitch).

Is the OS remaining secure and private with the anticheat that is requiring tpm, secure boot, etc?

Or like the Windows anticheat is it going to be able to access all the files on the PC?

Typical of Tim's Weenie

All 4 of the 9 year old children who are on Linux want to play Fortnite are going to be pumped for this!

Epic doesn't care about Linux gamers. This is an AI publicity stunt. The app does not work and probably never will.

I am not gonna play Fortnite or anything with an invasive anti-cheat, but more multiplayer games available for Linux means more adoption amongst casual players. So, at the end of the day it's a net positive thing.

I didn't realise there were eight year olds using Linux.
