I've just installed Epic Game Launcher on the Deck and had an issue where the starting screen was black. I've already find the fix in * this discussion.

I found something that seems to work. In the 3rd party launcher in Steam used for the Epic game launcher, go to Properties->Shortcut->Target, and change the text to:

"{The path to the epic game launcher}/EpicGamesLauncher.exe" -opengl

I'm just a guy on the Internet, do whatever. 🤷‍♂️ Just seems silly spending time fighting to use software from a company that actively campaigns against linux and calls it nonviable. I can understand corporate indifference, but epic is different. And unfortunately, wine/proton identify host os as windows 7.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 3 points 11 months ago

Sure. I wasn't being combative, just pointing out that there are cases that don't give them much support. And if Proton reports as Win 7 (a discontinued OS), then it becomes a wash, since the alternative would have been Windows 10/11 anyway.

If they want to miss out on the market share of Steam Deck users, that's their poor business choice to make.

Didn't they just win a lawsuit against google for "noncompetitive and monopolistic practices"?
