Windows ARM builds

[viveksh1]

Hello,

Now that the “Copilot+PC”(Windows ARM) laptops are getting more popular (Microsoft Surface Laptop, Dell XPS 13, HP OmniBook X 14, and more), are there any plans to provide binaries for Rare on Windows arm64?

Please try to add support and builds soon so that Rare can be much more usable on Windows on ARM as it will run natively then rather than running in emulation.

Thank you very much.

Building on Windows ARM should be easy enough for Rare itself. My question is if there is a point to it really, since as far as I know games on the EGS are x86_64 on Windows. To run any games you will still need some form of emulation. Are you aware of any games on EGS that run on Windows ARM natively?

@loathingKernel Yes, I don't think any games on Epic Games Store have native support for Windows ARM, rather games have varying playability on Windows arm64, with some running almost as if they were native and others not running at all.

Native Rare builds for Windows on ARM would make the experience of using Rare much better and snappier, allowing users to manage their EGS games without the slow Epic Games launcher.

Huh, seems like Windows ARM GH runners are only available to Enterprise, which makes this feature unavailable until they are available for the Open Source projects. There are some alternatives, but I think I will postpone this until it is straightforward enough for me to do using our existing workflows.

What does a videos about Linux and NixOS have to do with Windows ARM64?
