![]() #1 You must close the epic launcher manually after playing the game otherwise the launcher is running in the background as a steam game with the overlay (it’s weird) ^^this code is what you see after inspecting the properties of the default shortcut Epic makes on desktop (plus a dash “ - “ at the front) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Binaries\Win32\EpicGamesLauncher.exe" My previous solution was to add the Epic Launcher itself as an executable to Steam, and then use a custom launch option ripped from the default Epic Launcher made desktop icon with a dash “ - “ added at the front to immediately and automatically launch the game.įor instance, my custom shortcut info for Alien Isolation would be (seen by right clicking the non Steam game entry in Steam and choosing properties): This is not the only game that has had a qwerk like this. It also doesn't use the cloud sync feature from the Epic Launcher for any game added this way. However, although this will launch the game, it sometimes breaks things, like the save game function for Alien Isolation. Some games need a custom launch option to disable launching it through epic … -epicportal … and it becomes effectively DRM free, but a lot of games will just runs straight away with no need for -epicportal (however no epic cloud saves).
