  • I was at a party about fifteen years ago. A guy introduced himself and we gabbed for a few minutes. Then he asked what I do for work (IT sysadmin at the time) and I told him and asked the same. He said he was in sales for a tech company. I asked which one, and he stepped close and whispered, “Oracle.” I could see he was prepared for me to bring the hate. He saved himself when he told me he was actually leaving for a gig at Dell. Later, I learned from the host that he made that part about leaving up because he felt bad. I later learned he went to work for Nutanix. Poor guy hated his own employer, and it was obvious.

    You might be looking at the ping in-game, which is only showing your ping to Epic servers from the GfN rig. Your round trip to the rig itself is a factor, as well as the latency to encode the frames before streaming to you.

    Still, if its playable for you, that’s awesome.

    The lag makes GFN playable, but I’m only able to laugh and make call-outs to my team. it’s better than nothing, but it is very disappointing to press the emote key and hear it play on my wife’s (Windows) PC in the same room before I even hear it.

    But in a pinch, GFN connects you with friends.

    Let’s say that you were able to find a way. Epic could then ban your son’s account for suspected cheating/hacking.

    It’s not possible (I tried like you) to get further than the party selection screen. Matchmaking kills the game instantly. When I contacted Epic support, I was politely warned that their system would very likely classify my attempts to run on Linux as a bannable offense.
