Ok. So I have a decent setup and running Mint because I do not want the hassle of Arch. I know Epic has said several times they won’t support us. Whatever, it’s lame. But my son has Windows 10 and plays Fortnite and wants to come to Linux. I have no problem with my steam games.
GE Force Now works great for my needs. But he is really into it. I tried a VirtualBox and no go. Heroic, doesn’t work. Lutris? Never loads. Fuguna downloaded but wouldn’t launch.
Is there any other option besides GE Force Now?
Ge force it is
The lag makes GFN playable, but I’m only able to laugh and make call-outs to my team. it’s better than nothing, but it is very disappointing to press the emote key and hear it play on my wife’s (Windows) PC in the same room before I even hear it.
But in a pinch, GFN connects you with friends.
I have better ping than my son in the next room. So I dunno.
You might be looking at the ping in-game, which is only showing your ping to Epic servers from the GfN rig. Your round trip to the rig itself is a factor, as well as the latency to encode the frames before streaming to you.
Still, if its playable for you, that’s awesome.
