Fortnite giving easy anticheat errors or not launching

[Tommy2678]

Describe the bug

When launching from heroic games after an update, the fortnite game will either give you an error about easy anti cheat integrity after a couple seconds in a game or it will give you an error that states "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.".

Tested on 4 computers, 3 with heroic games launcher. The one with Epic Games Launcher did not have the issue, while all 3 running heroic games launcher had the issue. 2 of the 3 were fully up to date versions of heroic, one was not, due to updating the game before updating the client.

Note that this is version 2.13.0 but applies to the newest versions, too.

Forgot to note, you need to verify files before playable again.

Due to my current information, Epic Games actively denies Fortnite to be playable on Linux. So at least Battle Royale is completely unplayable If they want to change it, they just need to activate the Battleye and the EAC Linux / WINE setting
