That’s what happens when you make a basic GUI in a freaking game engine.
Yeah I know you want to demo your game engine, but I don’t need you to demo thermal throttling on my processor.
Lmao what? EGL uses unreal?
As far as I know yes.
The fuck
They most likely intended it as a way to showcase their game engine. Not sure how well that works considering everyone hates the Epic launcher, but you do you I guess.
That’s the perfect example of “Just use what your Developer know”.
Just because you can write something in a established technology doesn’t mean you should.
That’s what you get for making apps with fucking Electron, aka “a Chrome browser that only opens a single website”
VS Code was made in Electron and opens pretty much instantly. The Epic Store just sucks ass.
Doesn’t Discord also use something similar?
Yes! It’s actually quite popular.
What makes me confused is that the epic games website is a lot quicker than their app. I reckon they’re not using electron and maybe are using something much worse. Not sure if it was a joke but long ago I’ve heard someone suggesting it was actually unreal engine and not electron
It IS unreal engine
Huh, someone else here said it uses Unreal engine
Huh, I always thought it was Electron, because I’ve had an older version of EGS show some fonts in super low res, much like Discord did, which is a known bug with Electron and hardware acceleration

IDK, my Steam client starts right away pretty much and my computer is not very fast or new.
It’s probably running in the background. You have to be very forceful if you don’t want it doing that
But I’m not a jedi, i can’t use force
You know those ad banners you get on mobile? What do you think they run on
My phone, duh.
That’s probably mostly Flutter, which is slightly different scope, though still Google
Nah most ad networks run full browsers
Ad… banners? I haven’t seen an ad on my phone in years.
Ad banners? I haven’t seen one since forever. I have no idea what you are even talking about.
Huh, didn’t know it was available for windows.
Also I resent it being called “native” when it’s made with electron
Welcome to 2023 where native means a webpage in an embedded browser.
If an Electron feels faster than the EGS app then boy…
It’s a cool project, but it’s certainly not native (and despite what the other comment says, even in 2023, Electron apps are not native 😅)
I swear everyone on lemmy is a late 30s programmer. Kind of like reddit was I guess (but older…)
Been installing all of my GOG and Epic titles on Nobara with this! Super easy. Just select the Proton version you have installed and you’re good to go!
i got 32gb ram. today i needed to download more. https://github.com/Overv/vramfs
tf firefox needs more than 32gbs for compiling (actually linking but whatever)
It depends on your linker. By default, Firefox appears to use the LLD linker. There is a faster one available, which runs perfectly fine on my 16GB machine: https://github.com/rui314/mold. After installing, it can be enabled by setting —enable-linker=mold instead of —enable-linker=lld
well i just wasted €80 lmao
Epic Games: Not even once.
Sadly the only way to play Rocket League
Yeah :(
But all the free games
Are they really free when the price is your soul!?
The joke’s on them. I sold my soul years ago.
Real question: how? What does epic games do? Is it privacy stuff? I’m out of the loop. I just get free games and gave a disposable email.
Pretty much just epic paying devs money in order to give away their game, almost directly buying them market share for their launcher. They will probably stop doing it some day. Or maybe they won’t.
You mean… Giving devs money so they’re guaranteed an income instead of relying solely on the success or failure of their game which can be fairly random in some cases? Or the part where they keep a share of the profit much smaller than Steam?
Even if you accept the premise of your argument, what percentage of games do you think is getting that deal? It’s still sink or swim for the vast, vast majority of indie games in that case. I’m all for competition, I just don’t like that specific business practice.
Their launcher is literal spyware.
Wait what
Oh no, they know my junk email, the agony!
Giga chads use heroic launcher instead ;)
Now also supports Amazon Games. Get it while it’s hot.
what the hell is amazon games
I had a chuckle at this because I know Amazon has a game division but for the life of me I can’t think of a single game they have.
new world I think? The mmo that was supposed to kill [insert mmo] but then was kinda bad
Speaking of killing. Didn’t it end up killing a bunch of graphics cards?
Yes, but if a game can kill a GPU the GPU is at fault. The game just has an inefficient loading screen
Not going to trade Valve for Amazon. Valve contributes so much to the Linux ecosystem
MacBook Pro M2 Max feels lol, it’s got a lot of power in theory but almost no software puts it to use.
I make use of my 16gb m1 by just never closing anything, ever. I have photoshop, 3 browsers, discord, and Shogun 2 total war open in the background. I feel like I’m getting my money’s worth this way.
Calling out the bulkiest NVME drive I’ve ever seen.
nvme doesn’t have to be m.2 right? I swear I’ve seen 2.5" nvme drives.
Correct
I mean, no… but it still needs PCIe, and that usually isn’t getting cabled very far in a consumer machine
Oh right, I was of course thinking of server ssds.
Maybe it’s 2x1TB in a casing
Maybe it’s just one, and the casing works as cooler
Fun fact: When the epic games launcher crashes it shows a unreal engine error window, hinting at the possibility that EGL might be an application made in Unreal Engine.
Easy fix! Simply do not open the epic games launcher ever again (and uninstall it while you’re at it)

Garry’s mod runs at 2 fps
Fuck Epic Games launcher. All my homies use Heroic Games Launcher.
What’s the OP? Why has credit been removed?
What is ‘Epic Games Launcher’
Isn’t it the thing that gives out free games that you never play, every now and then?
Death Stranding? Control? All the Batman and Tomb Raider games? Most games I play on PC were Epic freebies.
The first two work fine. Don’t know about the others.
Same thing I’ve seen past 60 days with Lemmy. The major sites throwing massive hardware. “Wow, Lemmy now deletes a single post in 7 seconds”.
