I’ve just installed Epic Game Launcher on the Deck and had an issue where the starting screen was black. I’ve already find the fix in * this discussion.
Here’s the copy of the post

I found something that seems to work. In the 3rd party launcher in Steam used for the Epic game launcher, go to Properties->Shortcut->Target, and change the text to:
“{The path to the epic game launcher}/EpicGamesLauncher.exe” -opengl

From Ayinde6 — LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS FOR YOU
It’s generally much better to use HeroicGamesLauncher IMO
I spent hours trying to get Epic to work with Lutris and it was a terrible pain. I wish I had tried Heroic months ago lol.
I abandoned lutris for Bottles a while ago, it was a good decision.
I have one bottle for Battle.net and another for EA.
Heroic for GOG.
This is The Way
Yes but I experienced periodical logouts from Epic sadly
My desktop epic client already does this
When was the last time you tried heroic? I was getting pretty frequent log outs about a year ago, but it was fixed in an update and has been pretty flawless for me for a few months now
A month or two ago. I saw notes in changelog that supposedly it should be fixed, but it kept happening. I might revisit in the future
Try hitting up their discord. They’ve been super responsive and unbelievably patient the couple times I had an issue
