Welp that's it for this game. Epic Online Services killed it for me.
If you hate Epic with passion and have EOS blocked in firewall/hosts file DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! It started using it in update 237.
A shame really, gameplay, soundtrack, gunplay - all of those things are amazing! I know - i tried to have 100% achievements all the time.

And about EOS - even if you tolerate this services:
-they killed linux support because of it
-broke the lobby search, joining
-broke side jobs for some people ( apparently works in 237.1)

I heard there is a way to backtrack to version 236.1 with depot downloading and blocking updates, however i haven't manage to launch it yet.

If they make EOS optional, and i mean "if i can turn off/delete them/ revert to steamworks" i will be able to recommend it again, however i doubt they will make this an option.

In conclusion - if you hate Epic and their services - DO NOT TOUCH WITH 2m POLE

Edit: You can run it without EOS - use --steamMM as your starting parameters.
