Launcher of Choice

While the Epic Games Launcher works through Wine, it has a lot of issues and is just janky to use. Because of that, we recommend (and all further Wiki articles assume you are) using Legendary.

Wine version management

You don't have to modify this unless instructed

Legendary uses a config file located at ~/.config/legendary/config.ini to configure what runner to use. Create a new entry for the game you wish to configure like so:

[AppName]
; options for AppName

then add options below. Both the wine_executable and wrapper keys can be used to configure how Legendary runs games:

[AppName]
wine_executable = /path/to/wine

OR

[AppName]
no_wine = true
wrapper = /path/to/wrapper

Wine prefix

Your Wine prefix location is configured using an environment variable. These can also be set in the config file.

[AppName.env]
WINEPREFIX = /path/to/wine/prefix
