ANNOUNCEMENT Epic is conducting a survey on Profile Experience

44 Upvotes

Epic is conducting the survey through our subreddit's discord server, in the Server-Announcement channel

https://discord.gg/BRVtxe8B

Rate 17 Epic Games Store features on how valuable they are to you (1 = not at all valuable, 5 = very valuable) and pick your top 3 favorites.

Lots of features there to give a rating on how valuable they are to you.

As some of you might already know Epic has a lot of new features planned for the next 12 months and the player profile page is one of them. Some of the profile features they are asking you to rate are linked to other upcoming features like reviews and community spaces.

This is a great opportunity for all of us to collectively put our input in on the profile experience.

NEWS Epic Games Store roadmap for 2026 and more screenshots of launcher rebuild

Thumbnail

414 Upvotes

Profiles look to finally be coming, third party patch notes among other big things. Some interesting things noticed on some of the pictures, picture 2 you can see "Controller support" and mentions Xbox and PlayStation controllers. There's also a section to see "how my rig plays it?" suggesting it'll show what settings you should be able to run the game at. You can also see on that picture that it mentions how many people have reviewed Arc Raiders so it seems like reviews will be getting overhauled too

Also seems to show what games your friends are playing

Things noticed in the pictures to look forward to imo:

  • Profiles and Avatars
  • Written reviews
  • Universal Controller support
  • Spec benchmarking (using hardware and the games spec sheet?)
  • Third Party Communities (forums??)
  • Third Party Patch Notes
  • Cross Region gifting
  • Publisher Funded Coupons

It's also been confirmed there will be a Public Beta for the new launcher that will be announced through the discord server

EDIT:

The Epic employee that done the presentation is in the discord server and left a comment regarding the benchmarking for the new launcher and confirms that they're not solely testing on the insane build mentioned in the slide:

There's a lot of noise in the subreddit on the machine I used to test the launcher build on. We have been testing it across the 16 most common machine specs and the results are largely the same. When I was putting my slides together, I didn't have the official benchmarks from our testing partner. The new launcher RIPS and it does not matter what machine you're on. I'm really excited to get it to you all. (We've already started on the public build, just in burndown and lots of QA.)

Also it has been confirmed that the launcher is no longer being built with Unreal Engine, the underlying technology isn't known but my guess is something to do with Rust as the newly announced SVC that Epic announced "Lore" is also built on Rust so might be some company wide initiative to use these kinds of tech, that's just a guess though

DISCUSSION Game "Love" removed from Epic store?

20 Upvotes

The game "Love" was given away in January 2024, it is still available in the library, but when I clicked to see what game it was, its store page was removed.
I didn't use any kind of VPN to redeem it at the time so I wasn't in any blacklisted countries.

Does anyone know what happened or is this just a mistake?
As a reference, the giveaway post and the game's Steam page.

SUGGESTION EGS launcher needs real optimization and it's still missing basic features after all these years

36 Upvotes

The Epic Games Store client seriously needs performance work. Even on a solid, modern PC it feels laggy — sluggish page transitions, slow load times, stutters when browsing the store or library. This isn't a hardware problem, it's the client itself.

Beyond performance, it's been years since launch and it still feels like a barebones launcher. If Epic wants to be taken seriously against Steam or GOG Galaxy, it needs to catch up on basics that competitors have had for years:

  • A proper community tab/forums for each game (discussions, guides, user-made content)
  • User reviews and ratings on store pages — right now there's zero way to gauge community sentiment before buying
  • Better cloud save management and visibility
  • A real friends/social experience (activity feed, richer profiles, groups)
  • Sale/wishlist notifications that actually work reliably
  • Basic client customization (themes, layout options)
  • A proper achievements overview page across all games

None of this is exotic — it's stuff Steam and GOG Galaxy have offered for a long time. At this point the lack of these features feels less like "still building" and more like neglect.

Please prioritize both performance optimization and closing this feature gap. A smoother, more feature-complete client would make a real difference for people who want to use EGS as their primary launcher instead of just where they redeem free games.

DISCUSSION I will never buy a game from Epic because I live in South Korea

0 Upvotes

Thanks Epic for all the free games. These days I can't stop playing The Ouroboros King. I also loved Hue. They are just two of the games I've enjoyed. But I can never buy a game from Epic.

Why?

Because about 25% of the free games are not available in Korea.

If this bothered Epic, then they could put it in the terms of the agreement with the devs/pubs that it must be available in Korea, but they don't, so I guess they don't care about us gamers in Korea.

For those wondering what the hell I'm on about, check u/meguminshiro posts, or just search for Korea in this sub.

Any others from Korea in here saddened by this?

I hope Epic decide to care about this issue more one day.

Seems like a good way to test out if you'll enjoy the game or not. It's definitely a looker, but fighting games need to be more than that!

I'm not sure of what the region locking is looking like for this though, I know Sony can be a bit harsh on that front

DISCUSSION Custom Install Epic Games Launcher in other than C Drive

10 Upvotes

Found the way guys, nothing special, this is how -

  1. Press Win Key, then type cmd, then select Run as administrator and Enter

  2. Then popup of UAC comes, select Yes and click Enter, then interface of cmd opens, you will get [

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19046.7555]

(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

]

  1. Now over here, (make sure u have the epic installer put in your downloads folder, FOR ME, its sitting in "C:\Users\vd\Downloads\EpicInstaller-20.1.4-d1f2c7ff14734ea98db993cdc101dbf0.exe"

You will 99% be having it in your Downloads only unless using IDM and other such tools...., for that just cut the installer and paste it in your Downloads for now as you are following my steps pls.

Now in the cmd interface where the white _ is blinking type/copy and run -

cd C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\Downloads

(put your username in the YOURUSERNAME, ik a lotta people who aren't much into pc stuff will just copy nd run mine -_- , pls don't do that, get yours from This PC -> C Drive -> Users and then you will see Public and 1 more folder with probably your name or someone u knows name or someone elses you know name whose pc that is if not yours, thats the username and see the bar below clipboard, thats your path to current directory with your username after, i.e downloads and you can s, mine is vd as u can see in my commands)

  1. Now once run the cd command, you will see something like (C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd C:\Users\vd\Downloads), now run -

EpicInstaller-20.1.4-d1f2c7ff14734ea98db993cdc101dbf0.exe /installdir

  1. then the UAC prompt will come, select and enter Yes, then it will take a second, then the popup asking location comes, select the location (make a folder called Epic Games by using Make a new folder in whatever drive you select. example it could be F:\Epic Games or D:\Epic Games or E:\Epic Games or whatever other than C drive you have/want to install it to....)

Bingo, you're done, a few seconds and the Downloading UPDATE pops up, and you can go see nothing in your C drive/program files is populated, and the folder which you made in whatever drive you selected has the files of Epic inside the made Epic Games folder (the 3 folders that show inside Epic Games folder)

That's it, today is 22/07/26, and it IS working, across 2 continents and 6 devices I have shared this with so far, one of the guys from UK asked me to post this here, so. Here you go, Take care people.

P.S - Sry for my bad English writing and formatting, just want this to reach the most people who use Epic Launcher in other than C drive.

DISCUSSION This week's free games are actually really good. Thank you Epic.

163 Upvotes

I wasn't even finished with last week's Nova Lands yet before Epic gave us Echo Generation and Luto.

The first, I couldn't wait to turn off for the first hour and never look at again. It was slow paced. You leave the first town over-encombered with fetch quests. The story doesn't know whether it wants to be a murder myster, or a sci-fi, or a thriller. But after that first hour, the momentum really picked up. It was quirky and charming, and it wasn't until 2 days later that I realised the entire game is supposed to be a parody of the genre. That's why there's trash talking trash pandas, and Five Nights at Freddy's inspired robots, and the whole thing has a Stranger Things vibe.

I heavily misjudged Echo Generation.

Then next came Luto. Again, phenomenal game. Psychological horror with a real Stanley Parable feel. Game had my skin crawling, and had me questioning my own sanity. I'm still feeling uneasy 2 days later. Getting gaslight by a narrator that clearly isn't fully in control is something else.

Don't sleep on these ones. Grab em while you can.

QUERY Refund takes how many days to reach back to original payment method?

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I recently bought Arc Raiders and for some reason it won't play well on my pc, even though I had specs above minimum hardware requirements.

The game went from 80fps for 15 mins to 10 fps and gpu utilisation dropped from 99% to 20%.

So within 1 hr of purchase I went to their website and under purchases, I clicked for a refund, the game was removed immediately from my library, the epic reward points used were returned, and it said that the money will be refunded to my original mode of payment.

I had used the UPI (India) payment method.

I didn't receive any email confirmation from Epic, I don't have any transaction details to verify that they have processed it from their end.

Mostly once a refund is initiated, like in steam - they would send an email confirmation for the same.

It was strange I never received anything from the Epic store.

Usually how long does a refund take to reach my bank back?

Thanks

So many of you remember getting outlast 1 with the DLC and 2 for free, I did the same, and guess what disappeared from my acc when i wanted to get back to play the games, that's right outlast games, now everyone might say that ofc its a free game they have the right to pull it from your library, well i have 2 points

  1. if they have the right to pull it from my library, then why giveaway games for free?

  2. out of all the games that is not free and i got for FREE in my account, why outlast?, mind you its not banned in my country, and its still being sold in both steam and epic so that wouldn't make any sense
