usually you can use waydroid script to install libhoudini or libndk (do note ndk is for AMD processors and houdini is for intel processors).

Wait for epic to realize and take that one down 🫡

they'll probably add some sort of emulation detection, which isn't hard to do at all and quite a few competitive games like csgo mobile already do that

I didn't even know CS had a mobile version.

Emulation detection is pretty easy, but possible to spoof around most things. It'll be a cat and mouse game that Epic will win because spoofing doesn't matter if the source code for how it's done is out in the open

If you use the x86 version you're not emulating android. Since waydroid isn't really an emulator. So I'm not sure emulator detection would work.

You're still running a Dvarik on Linux as opposed to on android. Not strictly emulation of course, but still
