Launching the game while launching it through the epic games launcher tells you "Please launch the game through the epic games launcher." then closes, completely borked and doesn't even launch at all anymore.

Bug # | Description | Status | Resolution | Other apps affected |
Install Epic Games Launcher (see appdb instructions for EGL)
Load the following VC++ libraries through winetricks:
Download and install Fortnite through Launcher.
If it fails to launch, set dsound.dll to Builtin then Native in winecfg
Do NOT USE gallium nine builds, verified working on standard wine 2.13-staging. Gallium builds will create weird glitches with weapons that have FX skins on them, and shadows/shading is terribly broken.
Tested working with CSMT enabled on Nvidia closed source drivers. Run as 64 bit.

I tried installing dsound, dmusic and overriding for d3d11.dll in winecfg... I'm working with playonlinux.... I think that it's a dotnet problem but I can't install dotnet in 64 prefix!!!!

I tried to follow the tutorial the best I could, given I was missing vcon2015 in my library. Anyway, I got the launcher installed, but I get this weird error:

Is it a wine bug or is it a bug with the launcher on wine?
I'm using xUbuntu 16.04, with Nvidia driver and wine version 3.0.

The game was working before the launcher was broken back in October(Albeit without battleye support)
As the launcher appears to be working again, I can give this an update and see if anything needs to be changed to get it to work.

So it is not possible to play PVP any longer.

Also, wine version 2.14-staging and newer do not work, they crash when you loot objects.

I'm not sure if it's the change from wine 2.17 to 2.13 that did it, or the fresh install. I didn't make any registry edits or make any changes with wineconfig for the new prefix, but these are the winetricks DLLs I install:
$ ./winetricks d3dx11_43 vcrun2013 corefonts vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2015 d3dx10_43 d3dx10 d3dx9_43 d3dx9 xact xinput
I installed the launcher using the script on the winehq EGL page (appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=35728). I ran the launcher with -SkipBuildPatchPrereq -OpenGL, and then added -d3d10 to the extra command line options for Fortnite, and no more crashes! I'll post an update if I can get it working with wine-staging 2.17 and just a fresh install on another machine.

Looted and destroyed about 20 objects so far without any crashes.
by krabbit on Thursday August 17th 2017, 14:28
Wine: 2.14-staging x64
GPU: nvidia geforce 670 + proprietary driver
Environment: MS corefonts installed and vcrun 2010-2015 installed via winetricks
During the tutorial, at the first chest that the game has you search after you build the stairs, the game crashes. The crash doesn't happen until after you finish holding the search button and a few items explode out.
Also, the game is completely silent and without sound.

I installed quite a few windows dlls through winetricks while testing various things, but nothing changed until I set the above switch. I will list them below for completeness sake.
All directx9-11 packages.
dsound
xact
xinput

err:d3dcompiler:compile_shader HLSL shader parsing failed.
I made sure that d3dcompiler_43 and d3dx11_43 were installed and played with various native/builtin configurations with no luck. Will try some more tomorrow, but I wanted to get it out there that other people were having this problem.

It creates an audio stream in pulse, but it is always completely silent.
