I’ve just installed Epic Game Launcher on the Deck and had an issue where the starting screen was black. I’ve already find the fix in * this discussion.

Here’s the copy of the post

I found something that seems to work. In the 3rd party launcher in Steam used for the Epic game launcher, go to Properties->Shortcut->Target, and change the text to:

“{The path to the epic game launcher}/EpicGamesLauncher.exe” -opengl

    Here’s what works for me: I run Lutris (flatpak), pick up Epic Games on the left panel, proceed with login in Lutris. Once logged in, I pick up a game and hit install. When running for the first time it will install EGS. Proceed with the installation, launch and login in the EGS if it’s first launch. Install the game choosen in Lutris in EGS, then close EGS and Lutris should figure out that the game is now installed. You can test it from there, but you can now add your games to Steam from Lutris by right-clicking them. If adding games from Lutris doesn’t work, it might be problem with Flatpak permissions. I use Flatseal (available on Flathub just like Lutris) to edit them. Lutris must be able to write in ./local/share/Steam and if I remember correctly by default the path was added, but with the :ro flag that I deleted.
