SteamLauncher VS legendary

I use the SteamLauncher plugin for Launchbox, because Steam is excellent for controller configs, and Retroarch sucks at it.

You could look at using steam api interface IClientShortcuts instead of editing the shortcut file so steam doesnt need to be restarted. You can add/remove nonsteam games instantly etc. For example SteamLauncher plugin (c#) (https://github.com/lahma0/SteamLauncher) for LaunchBox does this. (Do note it does things a bit differently and uses one hidden shortcut for all games but you could create one for each game of course)

However, there is the excellent Big Box plugin SteamLauncher that you may be into. All the benefits of Steam's controller customization and social stuff while using Launchbox's... uh, launcher.

You should try using Legendary. It's an open-source command-line client for Epic. It does pretty much what Epic does but it's quicker to install/launch games and you won't have to worry about telemetry or "spyware." Although, you will have to buy games through the Epic online store.

I'm using an open-source alternative to the epic games launcher (legendary) that uses wine, and when i try to run a game through the terminal, a log of wine shows up.

It's an epic games launcher alternative, and a UI frontend for Legendary. (Don't worry, guys. It can launch non-epic games as well 😅) It's simply meant to be like heroic, but this time putting macOS first.

If you are familiar with using the command-line then you can use Legendary and import the game to your EGS, but you will need to do this one by one for each game.

Oh, you're talking about the launcher? Just use Legendary. CLI-based, so performance isn't an issue. If you know how to use a command line, you'll know how to use legendary with no problem. You can even launch some games without ever connecting to Epic after downloading them. Highly recommend, it's what I use.

Hay un launcher alternativo, Legendary. (https://github.com/derrod/legendary). Se usa con comandos (al menos la última vez que lo usé no tenía interfaz). Es.. interesante.

Grab your favorite EGS client and install the game. For this purpose I am using legendary. Legendary is important later, so it is a good idea to have it installed regardless. At this stage, if you try running the game, the game will crash within moments, and spawn 2 windows: a Wine debug window, and a bugsplat window.

If you want to avoid using the Epic Games Launcher, but still want to play the games you have there, you can use Legendary (which requires you to use a command line) or Heroic Games Launcher(which is based on Legengary and has a Graphical User Interface, so is much more user friendly). Both are open source.
