Launching game on Epic: Launch Epic, click on shortcut on the left

You forgot:

  • Epic needs to update
  • Yeah, we decided you don’t own that game anymore, even though you’ve played it multiple times
  • Oops, epic corrupted your install
  • Okay we fixed it but we don’t have cloud save, sorry you lost your progress
  • Oops, the EGS version breaks mods that work with every other version of the game

Epic starts an update before it has loaded the UI, slowing your computer to a crawl. The UI now takes ages to load because of the update running. You can’t stop the update, that requires the UI which they haven’t loaded…

Of all of those only the first one ever happened to me, they have cloud saves, never had an issue with mods… I think you’re mixing up the experience on release vs the experience today, native you should refrain from commenting if you haven’t used the product in a long time, you’re like someone saying “I don’t buy Japanese cars because I had one and it had shit power compared to my friend’s American car!” and that experience dates back to the 70s.

What makes you think I haven’t used it? Sure, cloud saves were added recently ish. They still released and pushed for exclusivity without it, and also had their fair share of problems.

Of all of those only the first one ever happened to me

On the other hand, maybe you should refrain from commenting if you are only going to go off anecdotal evidence. There are plenty of people who have had serious problems with EGS. And their support is notoriously pathetic.

The mod needs to be updated, not unusual with unofficial content

3 years old

All top comments are by people saying they don’t have an issue

So, one actual “recent” issue?

By the way, they’ve had cloud saves since at least 2020.
