[Discussion] Epic (so they says) Game Launcher on the Deck

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

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.
