Have you tried using Heroic Games Launcher? Personally I find it's the best launcher for GoG and Epic Game Store games

My suspicion would be the Epic Games Store and that’s why we avoid it like the plague.

Oh Alr thanks, But am gonna try other comments ideas first and if there is no fix then yeah am going to sail the seas

What does that mean? Are you saying no other games work?

Nah But i only tried just die already it works perfectly fine am saying just incase other games get the same issue i could use the fixes people provide on that other problematic game

Honstly fair criticism but ngl i dont wanna spend some money on the game when i already have it on epic games but i cannot play it on linux and it has issues and i cannot by any steam credits rn.

Epic game store doesn't count imo, as soon as fortnite dies the store will close and you will lose your purchases , they lose so much money operating it and it sucks compared to steam, no achievements etc. Fortnite is the only thing floating that company, unless they get a new CEO, its just a matter of time.

I agree with the achievements thing
