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). Background and explanation of other methods starts here, TL DR at top -įor adding various Epic Launcher games to Steam, I usually just try to add the game’s executable after it’s installed and try to run it without Epic Launcherįor instance, I have installed Alien Isolation to my D drive (not my system C drive) in "D:\Gamez\Epic Gamez\AlienIsolation\AI.exe" Now you can add as many Epic games the require the launcher as you want, just be sure to close the Epic Launcher after you’re done playing to clear the Steam overlay and running game from the Epic Launcher and Steam. ^^this custom launch option code is what you see after inspecting the properties of the default shortcut Epic makes on desktop (plus a dash “ - “ at the front), this is what I saw for Alien Isolation but it’ll depend on the game "C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Binaries\Win32\" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Binaries\Win32\AlienIsolation.exe" Mklink "C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Binaries\Win32\AlienIsolation.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Binaries\Win32\EpicGamesLauncher.exe" Use this code to make a symlink to Epic Launcher in the Epic Launcher folder with a custom name based upon the game you are adding (in this example AlienIsolation.exe): Open windows CMD in administrator mode (need admin since it’s making the symlink in a program folder).
TL DR version starts here but Details, explanation, and background starts farther down. I searched online but couldn't find a good solution for a universal way to add Epic Games to Steam with all features intact and no weird quirks, so here's one that seems to work well to add any Epic Launcher based game to Steam (I mostly do it for Steam Input custom controller control and screenshots) and keep all functionality. I also made a guide version for easy linking: I'm posting this here since someone was asking about having glitches when trying to add an Epic Launcher game to Steam.
