- ahelwer 5y agoI've heard good things about proton. I also have some games outside of steam on gog and epic, does it work with those too? How about streaming the games to an Nvidia shield on a nearby TV?
- tpxl 5y ago> I also have some games outside of steam on gog and epic, does it work with those too? It should since it uses Wine under the hood, but the ease of use is obviously way worse.
- swiley 5y agoThe only gog game I have is Factorio. IIRC Epic doesn't like their stuff running without what is essentially a rootkit, so that might not work so well.
- vidarh 5y agoYou'll want to look up the specific games you care about. It's hit and miss. Some will work fine, some won't. E.g. with respect to Epic for example, Fortnite was reported working at some point, but stopped working due to their anti-cheating solution. No idea what the current state is.
- ahelwer 5y agoI'm not talking about games published/developed by epic, I'm talking about games purchased on the epic games store. Looking online it seems you can run & download EGS games on wine, maybe.
- pitaj 5y agoLack of multiplayer in most cases is a non-starter.
- swiley 5y agoI play lots of multiplayer games on Linux. Multiplayer is a crap excuse for requiring a rootkit and if I really needed that I would just put emunand on my switch and call it a day.
- shrimp_emoji 5y agoMany AAA MP games aren't there due to anticheat not being portable. Other AAA games aren't there due to complex, non-portable engines. MANY AAA games work fine but their launchers don't (e.g., Blizzard, Origin). All are shitty reasons for the games to not work. :p
