the ONLY three games I wanted on the epic games store on my Steam Deck were KH 1.5+2.5, KH 2.8, and KH3, thank you so much for making such a helpful video
@@xXBaconEliteXxJN I'm still working on getting them to work, but I HAVE seen proof that all the KH games work, just takes some tinkering and youtube vids x3
You can also use Heroic as a sort of installer only, and once game installed add their execs to Steam. I found many times that this is a much cleaner way to play said games.
@@tylersurratt2367 Yes just like in the video but there is a small issue with Kingdom Hearts. After you installed it, you have to search the folder of the game and rename the epic folder to epic.bak. After that you have to choose the exe file of the game because when you start the game normally it will start the launcher. The game will freeze when you load one of the games so you have to start it directly. For example if you want to play KH2 you have to choose the exe file to start it and it will work fine. Hope it helps 🙂
How do you transfer your Epic save files from a PC over to the Heroic Launcher/Steam Deck? I'm not sure where the files go. It's nice being able to access my GOG and Epic games but having to start over or not being able to continue my progress is less than optimal. Also it's worth noting that if the game doesn't already have a preset controller layout in Steam (which you will have to search for), you will need to map the buttons yourself. Or at least as far as I can tell, which if I'm wrong I would love to learn if there is a better way.
I had this all set uped and working fine. Then later on my Steam Deck took an update and the Heroic Launcher disappeared from my Steam Deck. Has anyone else had this problem? My Heroic Launcher was replaced with Google in its place.
Not every game is supported on Linux and Fortnite is one of those. Epic doesn't have plans to support Linux in the future, so your best bet is with windows for Fortnite.
I'd love to see an install of the Kingdom Hearts games. I've been watching multiple tutorials. No luck so far. Haven't tried renaming the Epic folder yet. I click "play" and get booted back to the games menu. It can't be this difficult.
dead island 2 works but some times I have to go into desktop launch heroic and refresh my games list check its there then go back into game mode and I don't know about any one else but game from heroic don't work when your not online at least for me they don't
Sorry, so I know this tutorial is just for epic games but I saw you had Gog. Can you toggle between epic games and GOG or do all the games from both platforms show on heroic games?
thanks now i can start tiny tina's wonderlands. BUT the cloud sync is not working? is there anyway i can make that work? i have tried to manually go in to the sync-save and download it from there but it wont let me..
I cannot open my heroic launcher :( I tried to reinstall but still nothing, I click play on my steam overlay but after few seconds it shows play button again, not working on desktop either 😢
I'm following your video but no matter how many times I try I can't login to my epic account...after I put in my SID my user name doesn't show under the epic games ...when j click on store I can see my account is logged in but no library and can't access my library from the store either...not sure what I'm doing wrong

PLEASE BE THE FIRST!!! SHOW HOW TO DOWNLOAD GAMES FROM THE LAUNCHER PLEASE. I'd like to download to moria and I'd like it to download to my SD card but idk how to get a path to it instead of the ssd inside of the steam deck
When I open up the heroic launcher, it continues to say that is offline and I can't log in. I click to log in and it just sits loading the page forever ? I've looked all over but no one one seems to be running into this issue
Help! I downloaded Tomb raider and played it with heroic, but suddenly it can t download anymore. starts a download but immediately stops again without any error message, i downloaded a different wine but no luck... what can I do? sd-card permissions look good...
When I try to play THPS 1+2 in gaming mode it gives a color bar screen like it was a television (really weird) any kind of help with that? BTW I can play it through Heroic, every time in desktop mode... problem is only trying to run it through heroic in gaming mode... and when I try to run .exe directly from Steam... I get a black screen...
when i try to download heroic or even update my existing app, i get an error "aborted due to failure (error deploying: while trying to checkout)" with a long string of characters and cant get it to download
Depends on the game and the DRM they are using. Fortnite can only be played on windows right now. This method uses proton, so if it’s playable online with steam os game mode then it should be with this method too
How can I add internet to my heroic games launcher I’m trying to play evil dead and it keeps saying I need internet to play but I have my steam deck connected to my I ternet
I feel a little silly but after I initially login, the screen changes too quickly for me to copy the SID. Is there another way for me to grab it that’s not just while it’s loading into the main menu?
Same here. Too many "Tutorials" that zip through and don't show key points or pause long enough to walk through that part. That's what makes a good "Tutorial".
I followed this tutorial and got Heroic and logged into Epic store, downloaded Dauntless however when I go to start the game it gives me an error message about not being able to connect online when my Steam Deck store has no issues is connected to my wifi. Can anyone help me with this issue.
You should do an update on this video. How do you configure your folders for cloud saves if your games are are saved on an sd game but your wine path prefixes are on the internal storage? also do you have to do this for ever game? Thank you 🙏 ...
@@Greed97 Good question, I find you avoid buffering and slower speeds by always downloading to the Deck NVME drive, then just transfer it to the SD card later when you're free to walk away and do something else (if it's a giant game)
You would need to install Windows for Fortnite, Tim Sweeney said that Epic "don’t have confidence that we’d be able to combat cheating at scale" for Fortnite on Linux. You can also play it by streaming it via Xbox Cloud Gaming: news.xbox.com/en-us/2022/05/05/play-fortnite-with-xbox-cloud-gaming-for-free/
You skip directly from logging in, to capturing the SID# and don't show that portion. Too much skipping around, and too quickly. I logged in, and it took me directly to the library. There is no screen with the SID#.

Can you play Fortnite

The reason to link individual games, is for per-game performance and controller settings.
Can you show how to link individual game from heroic launcher ?
@@xKecepek same as you added heroic find the game exe instead. (Look when u install them).

Make a folder in your add card and link it to your desktop then install the games there

Do saves work? I believe epic games keeps the saves in the cloud, and I’m not sure if this solution has that
Is there a way of installing games from Epic Games in the ssd card instead of in the internal memory??
Can you play fortnite on Steam deck without cloud gaming, or Windows?
Thanks man i wanted to play bioshock collection on my deck because i didn't had it on Steam so thanks
glad you got it to work!
