Among the many games that you can download in their Windows version to install in Linux through Wine (provided that you have them in your Steam or GOG libraries), you can also download certain game store clients such as Origin or Epic Games. There is a solutionĪnd here is where Lutris comes to the rescue! Lutris is an open-source platform for playing games on Linux. You just can’t get assets for them from the Epic Games Marketplace… on Linux. You can build your UE4 projects on Linux. The download button tries to open the UE4 Editor and since the Linux version does not come with the marketplace bundled, you won’t be able to download those assets. You cannot download those assets on Linux using the browser. You can only “link” them to your account. You can use your browser to connect, browse the marketplace and get free assets or buy non-free ones. From there, you can clone the UE4 release that you need and compile it from source.īut figure this: your Epic Games account also gives you access to the Unreal Engine Marketplace. The Unreal Engine itself is technically supported on Linux: while you cannot download a pre-packaged version (unless your favorite distro maintainers are really cool), you can link your GitHub account to your Epic Games account in order to gain read access to the Unreal Engine 4 repository. The problem with Linux and the UE4 Marketplace
It is an extremely frustrating experience to have an Epic Games account (for Unreal Engine 4) but not be able to download assets from the Marketplace because… Linux.
