As requested, many many times, here's the Heroic Games Launcher guide for Epic Games on #SteamDeck. I had to wait, as some fixes were needed that I discussed with the developer. Article: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/03/heroic-games-launcher-now-works-nicely-on-steam-deck/As per usual a note: this does not include games with anti-cheat from the Epic Store.Note: while Heroic supports GOG now too, you cannot run their games from Steam yet. This is hopefully to come soon.https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncherhttps://github.com/redromnon/HeroicBashLauncherhttps://github.com/derrod/legendary

this tutorial will probably be outdated in the next year

By then heroic will have a flatpak installer and it can also expose the games' .desktop files to the OS. It should be a lot simpler soon.

Would you recommend Heroic or EGS over proton?

[ 2022-03-03 16:57:06Z ] 👍 1

You can inject Proton into Heroic if you want to use that over what HGL comes with. ProtonUpQt :)

[ 2022-03-03 16:52:17Z ] 👍 5

Really, honestly, there's not a huge amount of difference but when Heroic has some more upgrades, it will also work properly for GOG too - so using Heroic might be the better option.

if you have rocket league on steam it should just work but its not buyable through steam anymore though

Bro just found your amazing videos! I've got one question thats driving me crazy... I sadly don't know anything about linux, used ubuntu from time to time but not in depth. How do I get an onscreen keyboard for firefox or the general desktop interface? do I have to plug in a real keyboard even in steamdeck mode? because if I open Firefox (added as a non-steam game) and click in a typingbox, the keyboard does not show up...

Are you able to install games with GOG offline installer on Steam Deck?

[ 2022-03-03 19:41:01Z ] 👍 1

It is possible through the Desktop Mode but you have to set the SH installer as Executable in Properties, if ya meant the Windows installers from GOG then Heroic Games Launcher or Lutris can do it for you as both of them have a GOG integration.

[ 2022-03-03 19:55:01Z ]👍 4

Hey, I recommend to change the title into "Epic Games on Steam Deck - Rocket League via Heroic Launcher." Because the word Epic Games and Steam Deck on the front, it will incentivize people to click the video, especially for the beginner who are not familiar with Heroic Launcher. Edit: It's now changed :)

you can just use the built in legendary binary lol

[ 2022-03-04 06:06:11Z ] 👍 1

The legendary binary gets created in a temporary folder only when the AppImage is running. Thus, you need to keep the AppImage running all the time. That's why it is advised to specify an alternate one.

[ 2022-03-03 22:34:55Z ] 👍 0

No you cannot, as it's an AppImage.

You can install it directly or some launchers will even let you use existing installs such as Battle.net launcher. I haven't tried this launcher out yet but it might be possible with this one as well.

Great question! Heroic is a native app, which can get around any quirks of running EGS with Proton. That and it offers up the GOG support too, and allows you to configure a lot more than the EGS does.

Follow the tutorial that he did to install the Epic Game Store into Steam (not this tutorial, but the native Windows Epic's client), but instead of adding the executable of the Epic Store, add the executable of the Fitgirl repack and follow his tutorial accordingly. Should probably work.
