Legendary mentions (145)

• According to a survey, only 36% of PC gamers buy games at full price.

  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. Source: 5 months ago

• [HELP] Problems when i try to run a program using wine.

  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. Source: 5 months ago

• New game launcher for mac coming soon!

  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. Source: 7 months ago

• Installed a new os but kept my epic games stuff on my ssd, how do I use the games?

  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. Source: 10 months ago

• guilt pleasure fr,

  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. Source: 10 months ago

• I wrote an app for myself to filter my library by HLTB

  I've done something similar before with Playnite (an open-source PC game library manager), which has an HLTB plugin. Source: 5 months ago

• Tags no longer register and i've finally had it with galaxy 2.0. Any recommended alternatives?

  Playnite: The one with the most features and libraries available via addons and has a lot of options for customization. In my opinion the best one available for this purpose. Source: 5 months ago

• What tools do I install?

  As for my LGO, the only other app I've installed outside of the standard launcher was Playnite to consolidate all games into one place as Legion Space doesn't detect everything I have installed and I don't want to manage manually adding games to their launcher. Source: 5 months ago

• Login in to various stores when launching games

  Use playnite instead of the individual launchers. Source: 5 months ago

• Steam Deck OLED

  Here is where I come in and recommend everyone check out Playnite: https://playnite.link/ When I care about supporting a developer or publisher and they offer their product on their own storefront DRM-free, I will often go there to buy. Or I buy from GoG which takes a smaller cut. Playnite lets me launch my Steam and non-Steam games in a seamless fashion. Steam still does a great job as a game installer/patch... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
