Why would they update their old ports when the original publisher will get all the benefits without paying them?
I totally understand their position.

Quoting: BelvarHow is Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order marked as playable when there is still the huge fps drop bug when entering the menu? Do they have a secret unreleased proton version for the steam deck?

I remember this game having issues on nvidia hardware because of a memory leak.
I guess there is less issue with AMD.

I can confirm EAC with Starwars Squadron now works perfectly on-line (not many players though).
Nice job, I can't wait to see what other games they add to the list.

Quoting: SpykerEthan also noted that Valve started to remove some of his games port in favour of Proton.
I wonder if this one is concerned, and why Valve would do that.
Hopefully, this is just a mistake from an automated procedure from Valve.

Nothing has been removed. Ethan's Twitter post is talking about the defaults on the Steam Deck, all of which is likely in flux until release.

Ok I misunderstood his tweet then.

With the Steam Deck just around the corner, that's a bad timing for them.
Well not all game devs can have it right I suppose :smile:

The sad reality is that not only Fortnite, but any game requiring the kernel level EAC will never support Proton.
No wonder why nobody flipped the switch yet.
Elden Ring has recently announced it will use EAC as well... So there is pretty no hope it will work on Proton :/
While I honestly don't give a shxxx of Fortnite, I would have loved to play Elden Ring on the Steam Deck.

Quoting: CorbenHow about learning to fix it? What use does EAC have if it's compatible with Wine/Linux but it's not safely protecting from cheating?
Thank's Tim for destroying any hopes for games using this POS (piece of software :P) to be running on Linux.
I can't believe it... this statement renders all efforts from Valve bringing these games to Linux or the Deck worthless...

Clearly his comment will hurt the confidence of other Studio when activating Proton support.
This is a very bad communication that's undermining Valve's efforts.

The threat model for anti-cheat varies per game based on the number of active players and ability to gain profit by selling cheats or gain prominence by cheating. Hence anti-cheat which suffices for one game may not for another game with 10, 100, or 1000 times more players.

I find this answer is lunar.
So he is basically saying that it doesn't matter if his anti-cheat tech is not that good on other games, because they probably don't have as much cheaters he has on Fortnite.
