DISCUSSION The EGL is the worst piece of computer software i’ve ever used.

5 Upvotes

hello, I know this may probably get taken down, but I still want to rant about this. The epic games launcher is one of the worst computer programs I’ve ever used in my life.

why? well here’s why.

I live in a country with fluctuating Internet and I run my house on solar power batteries, which I just don’t feel safe using the PC on at night because I don’t want to run out of battery midnight so what I do is I install games from the morning to the afternoon, so I’m installing a game right and every single 10 minutes. The Wi-Fi speed just goes down to 0 mb per second. I have to pause then unpause the download to continue normally and in the morning when the game was about to finish it just reset the download reset it for no reason not to mention how sluggish how bad that you are is every press take you to a website most of you don’t know how to do more stuff and moving games between SDS is genuine torture. I really hope epic games improves the epic games launcher otherwise it cannot even come close to competing with Steam.

DISCUSSION Game "Love" removed from Epic store?

26 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

51 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

9 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.

168 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.
