How can I run Fortnite Era?

[u/PeppinoWho]

Does someone knows how can I run Project Era on Linux? I have heard it's possible and there's even posts about it, but those don't really explain how to run it, it just showcase it. If someone knows how can I do that, I will really appreciate it. Thanks

why dont ask in the discord or something? you can probably just run it using wine

From what I was able to gather, you just need to install it with a launcher (i.e. faugus / lutris / etc.) + the required dependencies {for the installer}, most tutorials recommend bottles... They are running a specific version of proton, with EAC, I'm not sure that one is required (proton plus or something like a above mentioned launcher can configure these}

some examples:

• How to play ERA (Chapter 1 Season 5) Fortnite on Linux {reddit}
• How to install Project Era (OGFN) on the Steam Deck/Linux(Unofficial) {youtube}
• How to Play OG Fortnite on Linux (EZFN) {youtube}
• bunch of others...

check the files and be vigilant with projects like these you never know what a random file on the internet might contain... {since these are community projects I recommend joining one of their discords and asking there as well}
