    A terrifically hard audience to serve given the variety of incompatible configurations.

    If your game doesn’t work with my fully functional operating system (while others do), isn’t it literally your game that’s “incompatible?”

      Plus He’s talking about the steam deck here. That’s 1 configuration. And Rocket League is already on steam for those who bought it before epic did, runs fine in proton. The dude is full of shit and making up excuses, it’s obvious this is a business agreement and nothing to do with practicality and in lying about it he’s hurting his reputation.

      Plus it isn’t like there aren’t tons of compatibility issues with all the versions of hardware on PC.

      My kids, unfortunately, love the game, so I’ve kept up with performance a little bit. It seems they’re trying their best to make it run like trash. They can’t even support the few operating systems it does run on. I haven’t noticed any mind blowing graphics updates, but fps is around a third of what it used go be. Such a garbage company.

        The cartoonish artstyle might hide it a bit, but Fortnite is basically Epic’s showcase of all the newest Unreal Engine tech. The move to UE5 a couple years ago brought with it all those new features and a huge leap in graphics. Fortnite has been around for a long time now, so the minimum performance targets are probably changing as tech and average system hardware improve. I don’t actually play it, but it’s pretty much a different game now compared to when BR mode was first released.

          That explains the consistent decline in performance. Thanks for the info.
