It's especially ironic, given that the game is made by Epic, a company that officially supports game development on Linux with their engine.

- cma 9y agoI don't think the anti-cheat middleware they are using works on Linux.
- thegeekpirate 9y agoThis is correct—BattlEye does not currently support Linux, unfortunately. I'd kill for Epic to throw some money at it =c
- DiabloD3 9y agoThe obvious question is: how is it running on Android? Purely as an Android middleware, thus allowing more clever hacks through?
- dogma1138 9y agoIt doesn’t run currently on Android and BattleEye doesn’t work on iOS either they don’t bother with anti cheat on mobile you just do root / jailbreak detection as you can’t really cheat without them as you need to hook into the memory and the network stack.
- randomblob 9y agoJust get a PS4, it's playable using mouse and keyboard on consoles as well. But controller is better anyway IMHO.
- a_t48 9y agoEpic doesn’t really support Linux that well - they mainly support Linux as a cross-compile target, running the editor natively is a bit more hairy and extremely poorly documented.
- chupasaurus 9y agoThere is a single developer who writes changes to UE4 for Linux support. And he doesn't work in Epic. UnrealED doesn't work on Linux, AFAIK only HTML5 build pipeline could be run on Linux, so you could make changes to code, but you can't test them if you're using "officially supported" platform.
