User experience summarized in 30 seconds: windows cannot be moved, broken buttons, floating icons when scrolling, launcher freezing and refreshing, installing a game doesn't ask WHERE you want it to be downloaded, it just puts it somewhere

Straight into garbage it goes, fastest uninstallation of all time

>puts games in ~ >aura

Also playtime is wrong because I finished the game when it came out and it certainly didn't last only 5 hours and a half... I guess that's because I've played most of it on Heroic instead

Not asking where to download is diabolical 💀

You don't get it Shy, it's about the 𝑣𝑖𝑏𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑠

Clearly somebody at Epic Games forgot to put "make no mistakes" at the end of the prompt.

If you open the game tab you need to press the cog to choose your destination 🫃 Fuck Epic Games

Bruh, they really botched the Linux app. I had no issues on Windows.

Zero testing went into this, they just assumed Claude would magically do a perfect porting without feedback

Sounds exactly like how a vibecoded piece of software would behave. They really put zero effort into it huh? How do they expect anyone to switch to this from Steam? It doesn't matter if it launches faster if it's still unusable garbage

Well done you've officially done more QA than Epic

I won't even be downloading this. Strongly suspect it'll somehow brick my pc.

Correction, that is the current KDE Plasma experience. This is the OMARCHY Hyprland experience.

"You're absolutely right to call me out on that. That one's on me!"

the alan wake ii art being the only stable thing in that screenshot is kind of poetic honestly

Blame Claude.

@TimSweeneyEpic what a piece of shit

Yeah cuz it's vibe coded. Some dickhead sat in front of a chatbot and prompted it to creat shit as ai tends to do. And epic loves it. Thats what they want their future to be. Like that start wars shooter they're "making"

And some people have the audacity to defend this…

I'm sorry but being able to decide where your game installs is the bare fucking minimum and they can't even do that and Tim Sweeney wonders why he fails.

there are people out there that used this thing in a daily basis and now have to deal with this bullshit smh

Got none of those problems on windows, I have to be real here, I love the new UI and the fact it's quicker. Yeah it's vibecoded, but if it works it works, that's how I see it. Now if Epic developers start getting dumber because of abusing AI that's none of my concern.

And the game DID ask me where I would like it installed, and I put it on one of my extra SSDs and not the same one as my OS.

And Tim wonders why he never comes close to beating Steam.

All complaints I see are from Linux users 🤷‍♂️

incredible that epic neglected EGS for so long and they finally rework it only to land on something somehow even more dogshit

isn't it beta software

I installed it and tried it for 5 minutes before it got a memory leak, taking up almost 2gb, and had to be force killed. I immediately uninstalled it and am back to using the old one. I only really need it for fortnite anyways so I might just switch to the Microsoft store verison

Nothing new under the sky, a gay company using Ai.

Congratulations, you used the preview version of a launcher...

@TheGingerBill If you thought the Adobeslop situation was bad, check out the Epic Games launcher situation. And this is just a little taste. Serious company btw. They even dunked on their competitor with this crap.

@R4ZEL1GHT

What do you expect from an AI slop factory?

but faster than steam !!

worst part is that when you install a game, and you want to change its location, you either have to go around and creating a folder on that drive where you want it to be and.... basically follow a tutorial, or uninstall and reinstall completely 🤦‍♂️

it's beta, just report them and move on
