Probably will not work because it’s an always online multiplayer game. They rarely work in Wine, just play it on Windows and save yourself the hassle.

i dont have/use windows.
it is possible to run Fortnite with wine, proof:
I dont care about online player, it’s for my 6 year-old son, i would prefer he plays off-line.
and mostly, it’s for academic interest ;)

I’m pretty sure that its offline mode is also an “always online” affair, and includes various micro-transactions so it needs to be constantly checking with the server that you have the correct inventory.
Anyway that’s a neat video proof. For something like that to be working correctly in Batocera (with the same sort of “ease of installation”), it would necessitate updating Batocera’s implementation of Lutris to match upstream’s version. Unfortunately that is not the case now, and there does not seem to be much interest in doing so (I imagine incorporating the “Fix battleye anti-cheat” would be the most difficult without also breaking everything else).

Of course, you could also just manually set up the Wine environment correctly just as Lutris does for you automatically in that video. The winetricks page is available here: https://wiki.batocera.org/emulators:winetricks

My friend also facing the same error and I can’t help him because I don’t know much about this. Recently, I was searching for this https://www.topessaywriting.org/samples/cyber-security website online on google search where I can read free essay samples and when I was searching for it online, I found your post and I would love to share your post with my friend.
