    After installation, you can uninstall the installer and add the already installed Epic Game Store instead (follow the path shown in the video). This will allow you not to type pathes and launch the Epic Game Store using only Steam Deck

    Never hard code a version number. One of the few reason video tutorials are broken, but not even a written tutorial should say "install this specific version" unless it's an actual fix to a very specific problem. Just use normal proton built-in for everything. You only ever need to change any setting if something doesn't work, or to set the default proton version for other games not marked as supported, to do that, just select the latest release that doesn't have experimental or " RC" (release candidate) in the name. Those are betas/snapshots. You don't need to download GloriousEggroll's fork unless you want to play a specific game that has been patched in the GE fork but not yet made it's way into Proton official. This would only be for quite new games. Maybe it gives a smidge of performance improvement, but you will likely not notice and not worth your time.

      Make sure you force it to use Proton. You might need to try different versions until you find one that works with that game

      It does that sometime, especially with the on screen keyboard. Usually if you just close it down and try again it works. I'm pretty sure there is a paste button on the on screen keyboard too

      You could just copy the location from the explorer bar at the top and then type the epic launcher exe on the end

    Thx for the video but I lost you at about the 5 min mark. I have problems selecting the text and when I finally do it, I can't paste the text and I loose my mouse pointer. Can you give me some pointers please?

    • @thegamesapprentice
      @thegamesapprentice  Год назад +1

      Yea I had similar issues the first time. Copying and pasting into those fields with the Steam Deck can be a bit hit and miss. Use a mouse if you can.
      If not, try doing in both desktop mode and big screen mode, which ever you didn't do last time. Bear in mind there is a paste button on the virtual keyboard to the right of space bar, I found that to be more reliable
      If it's still playing up, go into desktop mode, and open up a notepad, and try copying and pasting it into there, then editing it in the notepad and pasting it back across.
      Lastly, and not ideal, but the way I had to do it first time, as I had none of these tips, is to just type the entire text manually.
      Good luck

      Make sure you're trying to launch it in game mode rather than desktop mode. Check the path in the target in properties points to where your Epic Games installed, don't copy my path. Make sure it's got the quotes around it. If it installed OK that step has got to be where your problem is.

      Yea a few people have said that. All I can think is that it's defaulting somewhere else for some reason. If you have a look at the path during the installation step it should give you an idea of where it's putting it. It won't be exact as the folder structure is a bit different, but you should be able to find it from what it says combined with where I said it was
