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 to go. Easiest setup ever.
This is The Way
I didn't know of this one. I'll consider installing it in the future. Still, having EG launcher comes in handy when i have to quickly add some new free game, so is still fine 💁♂️.
Heroic does all of that. You login to the store. I claim the free games inside it every week. And shit just works.
Also does gog and amazon. Great software
Good to know. I'll definitely check that.
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
