Fortnite loads fine on Linux but closes after reaching the main menu. It doesn't crash, it closes. They're actively blocking the community from self-supporting.

There have even been times when Fortnite's anti cheat was broken so that you could actually play the game perfectly fine on Linux.

I also once managed to get long enough into a game to be yelled at because the mic is open by default (which happened to be my laptop mic). Then I got kicked by anti cheat.

Do you have video of this? Would appreciate it if you shared it, if you do.
Prolly would go viral if you posted it here actually.
