Epic Games Launcher

...that stays open while the game is open

What

Given an epic games app name eg: Kinglet (Civ 6)

  • Uses the legendary command line tool to check if the game is installed
  • Launches the game
  • Waits for the process to appear
  • Periodically checks to see if the game is running
  • Closes when the game closes

Why

  • Legendary command line exits after the game launch is initiated. This means that adding the game to Steam shows you playing the game for approximately 10 seconds
  • This tool remains open for as long as the game does

How to install

  • Download this repo
  • npm install
  • npm link
  • DONE!

Example commands

  • epic-launcher Kinglet - This is the most standard use-case
  • epic-launcher --override-exe "D:\Program Files\Epic Games\SidMeiersCivilizationVI\Base\Binaries\Win64EOS\CivilizationVI_DX12.exe" Kinglet - I prefer to override the exe for Civ 6 to avoid the 2K launcher
