Omg thank you so much all installed and I'm so excited as it couldn't have come at a better time. As palia is coming to epic games on October 24th ahhhhh I'm so hyped right now. Finally I can play one of my favourite games in comfort . I've also shared your video to my friends discord for others to download you are a legend thank you😄

Never thought I'd be having to watch this video again silly me ended up accidentally deleting the launch options that were preset and I had to do it entirely by hand again while watching this video you saved my gaming session thanks 😁

Thanks SDG worked like a charm hopefully it gets more updates soon so we can have other game launchers such as the XBOX PC ap and Riot Games Launcher ect

Dang this insane. Y’all Deck/Linux wizards are friggin awesome.

Do the games on epic still require a Installation of Visual c++ in order to start them?

He SDG do you know how to pull the games from Ubisoft, Epic, etc and put them individually as non-steam games? I attempted it using the Boilr app and it worked with 1 of my games Mortal Shell from Epic store but i cant get Dead island 2 to pull through any ideas?

Does it matter on the storage option for how smooth it runs? Not a concern for the storage itself.

hi! I run the scipt many times but seems it does nothing, just start steam nor GE nor any lancher added :( in terminal not too much lines displayed, and new version is different than the one on this video. p.s.: reinstalled steam os with english locale, the script run fine now... It has Netflix and youtube too...

Everything works like a dream, except for Luna. When I launch it in gaming mode (haven't tried desktop yet), it just crashes without getting anywhere. Steam tries to open it, then gives up. I switched to Proton Experimental (had forgotten to do it on first attempt, second attempt with Proton caused it to think for a bit longer, like it was going to work, but same result). Any ideas? I have Edge installed, as main browser.

So I followed the steps (which was easy to follow, thanks for that!) but I only got one out of 3 working. Blizzard works but Epic and Amazon doesn't. I don't know what happened.

doesnt work for me it installs the launchers but it doesnt add them to steam automatically if i add them manually and try to open them i get one second black screen and the message that its running but then it closes itself everytime i did switch it to proton experimental but i dont know how or if it can be fixed

Any idea why I don’t have the intstall button on the launcher?

It won’t conflict. But you could end up having duplicate apps. So if you already have a launcher installed (like I did the EA app) just don’t install it. Or delete your old one and point the new one at your game installs.

Not at the moment. You have to go though the launcher still as the game doesn’t know where the launcher is installed when it loads to check if you launch it directly.

Playing D4 on high graphics on Steam Deck. Runs well. I try playing D2R but it gives me this 30 days login account bullshit. Cant get passed it. Installed windows 10 but then if I run D2R that way, it uses mouse and keyboard instead of steam deck controls... Will figure this out!

is anyone else having issues with the on screen keyboard when trying to use it to login to any of these launchers? My keyboard input doesn't seem to work.

After extracting the zip file, what do I do? It doesn't really do anything. Sorry, terribly new to tinkering with the Deck. Tried to follow the on screen instructions, but the 2nd folder doesn't look like yours and certainly doesn't do what yours did.

It doesn't show in Steam at all anymore. I accidentally uninstalled everything from NonSteam, but now, with a new download of the updated application from Git, it won't download or show the Epic Games under Steam Library. And looking over the files under compatibility files, it doesn't show Epic is there, where it should be.

I was able to install bliznet but I am missing the ability to install. Its completely missing install and I can only click patch notes or forum. Any advise ?

I I don't know if it's because it's a newer version but I didn't ask me to restart. I did restart it myself though. Has anyone else done the same?
