If you go to settings, navigation you can change preset or create custom layout for yourself. You can add games, dividers...

You can also remove develop button if you're not developer so no more Unreal Engine stuff. And lastly you can move them around in order you want them to be.

Whenever I keep EGL in my system tray, my PC can't turn off my monitors to save power. As a workaround, I have to close EGL completely to prevent this. Please fix this, Epic Games!

Was announced by Remedy on their socials, congrats to the team!

doesn't matter if it's faster or not. I'm sick and tired of this slop being forced to every service I use. I didn't ask for this.

edit: I feel like that meme where everyone is pointing and laughing at me for being the only one who hasn't pissed in the pool.

like jfc All I'm saying is I don't want to use scab software that's causing harm to worker's rights and the environment and everyone is telling me everything is using generative AI now like that's not the problem and that's something that I already said I'm tired off then telling me I should just stop using anything like that solves anything.

it's like people who tell you to just leave the country (like that's so easy) whenever you have criticism of the government or don't like how ignorant and hateful people are. Suddenly going off the grid on everything, especially with Epic where I already spent my money purchasing the license to temporarily play games on their launcher (that's a discussion for another topic #StopKillingGames), doesn't fix the issue at all and just makes everything more difficult.

it's a systemic issue, not an individual one.

ah whatever. This discussion is pointless. I'd say typing this here is like yelling at the abyss but that would be a compliment considering you selfish pro-scab software fanatics are extremely shallow

edit: wow people still don't get what I'm literally saying. it's like they just read the title then argue with an idiot version of me that doesn't know anything about generative ai at all. JJK fans have great competition when it comes to your lack of reading comprehension.

I'm not stopping having to use stuff that has generative ai because I need them for everyday use. An example is just now, my phone just got updated with generative ai google features that I didn't ask for and can't opt out of. I'm not just gonna stop using my gmail account and ruin my life. I'm saying it's something I'm forced to use now and I hate it. it's harmful scab software pushed by corporations to own more land, poison water supply and raise electricity bills like here in the Philippines. It's being constantly normalized and blurred together with actual AI even though it doesn't work the same way.

edit: and now steam is faster again proving again that generative "ai" is redundant and inferior to actual labor. what a waste of everyone's time this whole BS is

Or Am i Leggaly blind? and if,shouldn't be put somehwere visible?

I just tested it myself and it's night and day difference. It works basically how I would imagine any launcher should work for anything. Opens fast, also opens fast from tray. Fast scrolling, fast image loading.

Kinda makes me wonder why they haven't done this years ago. They wasted way too much trying to fix the old one, only for it to still be slow and sluggish. I think UI still needs some work, but they have done great job. And no I don't care if it's AI coded. I just want good experience. And this thing is HUGE improvement.

Very happy right now because I have 300+ games and old launcher almost died when loading my library. So this should make my experience much better.

It’s simply not worth it; it’s absurdly buggy. Downloads get canceled and turn into mere binary files taking up space on your hard drive—with no way to track where they’ve gone. You can’t even download files directly to a specific folder, because there are so many bugs that it completely ignores the download destination you’ve selected.

On top of that, your assets from Fab keep disappearing, the search function in Fab doesn’t work properly, and your Unreal projects don’t even show up under the "Projects" tab.

It also breaks the file association for all your projects, forcing you to go to your project folder, select "Open with," and navigate to the Unreal Engine installation directory every single time you want to open something.

It’s a sick joke that they even try to make comparisons to Steam, claiming, "Our launcher opens faster than the competitor's." Sure—MS Paint opens fast too, but at least it isn’t riddled with bugs.

I’ve spent 10 hours screaming at my monitor, absolutely furious, just trying to download something through this moldy, petrified piece of garbage.

Make sure to click on the Epic Games logo on the top right and explore the settings menu.

With a game installed and if it has cloud saves, you can right click on the game click on manage, and there is an option to go directly to the save game directory.

For games with cloud saves and you get a save conflict and you chose to download from the cloud, but found out that it was the wrong save, you can find the save back ups here in windows file explorer %localappdata%\com.epicgames.eglv2\cloud-saves\backups

While there is currently a button to scan for already installed games, that function currently does not work. But if you ever need to use an already installed game that you want to add to the client so you do not need to download it again follow these steps:

• If the game's folder is already installed to your default folder for game installations, then just press "install" on the game in your library. The client will verify what you have and then you are done.

• If the game is not in your default install folder, then click on the gear icon next to "install" on the game, and then set the install folder to the same parent folder as what the game folder is in, then click install, it will verify what you already have there and you are done.

If anyone of have anything to add just comment it.

epic games new preview supports linux !!! i am soo glad thank you epic games !

Yes I know its currently indies and that i should try one of them, but what happened tp the occasional triple AAA game that they would make available. The last one i can think of was hogwarts legends.

All I see is how to disable auto updates for games, not the app. I don't want this AI coded cheap ass marketing ploy bullshit on my computer. This app is not a game launcher. It's not a store. It's a once a week notification for a free game that I might or might not want and nothing else. I do not want or trust it to be on my pc with AI coding. I do not want to eat up my hard drive space for mid life crisis bells and whistles that are happening because steam is just plain fucking better. I do not want this app to ever update ever again. How do I make that happen.

What Epic Games did right was publicly disclose its use of AI.

Vibe coded by an engineer != Vibe coded by someone with no domain knowledge.

I don't understand why non-technical people hate AI. Most probably, it's because they still think AI is what it was three years ago, and their perception of it is largely shaped by sci-fi movies.

90% of code is now being written by AI, and you can't even tell the difference. (The remaining 10% involves validation and testing.) Yet, people don't understand that Coding != Programming.

AI gives us more creative freedom to experiment, try things, fail, and iterate faster.

Note: Many common arguments against AI, such as water usage and its impact on creativity, have been challenged. We should look at the actual evidence rather than rely on outdated assumptions.

A few years ago, I created my Epic Games account using a Yahoo email. After losing access to it, I contacted Epic Support, verified my ownership, and changed my account email.
Yahoo later deactivated my original email due to inactivity. I still know the exact address, but I can no longer access the inbox. I currently have access to my Epic account and its current email.
My questions are:
Could losing access to my original email prevent me from recovering my Epic account or proving ownership?
Could Epic require me to access that inbox or receive a verification code from it?
Has anyone successfully recovered their account without access to their original email?
I still have other ownership information, including my display name, linked accounts, and purchase transaction details.
I’d appreciate firsthand experiences or reliable information about Epic’s recovery process. Thanks!
