This is not an issue but I couldn't figure out how to launch GTAV. My wine 5.8 setup throws error after installing DirectX with a message of:

Unable to launch game, please verify your game data

Several games support storing savegames in the cloud. Legendary ideally should support this as well when possible.

Will investiage.

It appears in pip search but it can't be installed.

Currently epicovt just uses the path to the file in the config directory, this may not work with WINE.

Hi,

Could it be possible to have .deb packages ?

Thanks, a Pop-OS user ;)

Hi firstly thanks for the amazing project, as a Linux user this tool is amazing. Anyways the issue I'm having is adding Legendary games as a non-steam game (yes, i've manually corrected the path/launch options, tried using a bash script, even tried just adding a terminal emulator as a non-steam game and launching it manually from there) regardless of the method I use the game flashes "running" for 1 second but never actually opens, I have almost every other app added as non-steam game without issues (Lutris/POL/GOG games/Humble Games/etc). I've tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH without luck, I need to add to steam so I can stream the game to my TV, Sorry if this isn't the right spot for this issue, I post here because legendary is the only app behaving like this, thanks.

Would it be possible to implement Desktop and Start Menu shortcut creation for the installed games, e.g. legendary.exe -shortcuts? Currently, the games are installed without these (or, at least, the one I installed to test, "A Short Hike", appeared without any shortcuts), and it makes it more difficult to launch them. (As I don't usually use Epic Games, I had to check with my little brother, and he confirmed that the Epic Launcher does not create Start Menu shortcuts, but does make desktop shortcuts).

Game Name.lnk containing the Epic Launcher command line, of course, it's possible to manually make the shortcuts using --dry-run output, and manually copy them to desired locations.

Paths:

Current User: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Game Name.lnk
Desktop: %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Game Name.lnk

Possible alternative start menu shortcut locations:
All users start menu (may have Admin prompt): %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Game Name.lnk

Or possibly Epic Games or legendary or Games subdirectories of the Start Menu directories (to keep the programs list organised).

https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.join

If a component is an absolute path, all previous components are thrown away and joining continues from the absolute path component.

Not sure why my executables in install.json have a leading slash, but it breaks legendary for me

Currently only one can be specified, meaning that not all files can be included/excluded/selected in one command.

Hi, this is a really cool library! Sorry if this is off-topic, but we're developing an application where we need users to sign into their Epic Games accounts so that we can verify that they truly own the usernames that they claim. We want to go through Epic Games and have a redirect URL back to our site since that's the "standard" OAuth flow. Do you know if Epic Games has a REST endpoint that performs this authentication and redirect with an OAuth token? We figured we'd ask here since you clearly have a lot of expertise on the protocols they support.

(Wine-noob here)
How do I change the wine_executable to proton ?

wine_executable = proton does not work as proton is not in my path.
I have several version of Proton installed under ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton X.X/
I tried putting this absolute path but something seems wrong with the escaping space.

Whatever I tried I always ended up with this error :

Mainly for Linux:

• BattlEye anticheat
• Possible XNA games like Axiom Verge that don't run via WINE?

I'm using the AUR version for Manjaro (v0.0.9) and trying to download Metro: Exodus. It starts downloading fine, but consumes more and more RAM until its amount (preset with max_memory option) runs out, and stops downloading after that. When I interrupt and restart legendary, it resumes downloading, but eventually the same happens.
legendary-log.zip

I'm attempting to get GTA V running on OSX with Wine64. GTA V is a Windows only binary, so while it is possible to auth and download it with legendary on OSX natively, ultimately the game will need to be installed and run on Wine64 if it is to work on Mac at all...

Attempting to run legendary.exe within a cmd.exe crashes on Wine64 for OSX with the following:
[##] INTERNAL ERROR: cannot create temporary directory!
where ## is the number of the temporary folder it is creating.

It seems that PyInstaller is creating about 6 directories prefixed with ## in %TMP% in _MEI592, _MEI593, etc...

These directories are not owned by the user and are not readable (dir /q) or accessible

cd %TMP%\_MEI592
Access denied.

on the Host os they appear as:

d---------   2 user  wheel    64B 15 May 02:19 _MEI592

I'm not sure if this is an issue with PyInstaller on Wine specifically or a problem with how legendary is packed with PyInstaller.

I've not yet attempted to install Python and install legendary that way.

I use Manjaro, so I installed legendary through AUR. Auth and installed the game went fine.

Launch failed with : wine: cannot find '~/Games/legendary/GTAV/PlayGTAV.exe'

And indeed the file does not exist.

It installs fine but when I launch it with, legendary auth , I get this error.

It would be nice to be able to download localized versions of games.

Hello,

today I was trying to import GTAV from on older install I had, but it wouldn't let me because it would've had to download 240/340 files, clearly outside of the 95% match range.

Out of curiosity, I removed the check from cli.py and it imported the game, marking it as installed, so I could now run verify, and it turned out I only actually had to download 17GB instead of the whole 90GB.

I also tried to run legendary repair first, but it refused to do that because the game wasn't marked as installed.

My suggestion would be to rewrite the import function to mark the game as installed (maybe after checking for conflicts, such as an already existing manifest but for another game, or same path as another installed game, etc) and run repair on it. This change wouldn't impact importing installations which are 100% perfect as repair would do nothing but it allows to import game installations which are in a broken state without having to download the whole game again.

I'd like to hear your opinion on this as there might be something I'm missing here.

Currently Legendary does not verify data at all and just hopes for the best.
Ideally we should check the hash of the file we're writing at least while writing.
For importing games it will also be important to check the installed version in order to determine whether or not it needs to be patched up.

Building the project from source and running legendary auth results in this:

Just like the error suggested I tried installed the DLC after which worked successfully.

I tried to use legendary to install GTA5 to an external drive but instead it looks like it was installed to the default location.
The command that I used was:
legendary install "9d2d0eb64d5c44529cece33fe2a46482" --save-path /home/m/NotDeadYet/GTA5
Instead of saving the files to: /home/m/NotDeadYet/GTA5
The game files were saved to: /home/m/legendary

Sounds so much cooler and is easier to remember.

For GUI, why not create a EGS Runners with legendary ?

https://github.com/lutris/lutris/tree/master/lutris/runners

Justreinstalled Windows and epic. Have the fortnite game files but there is no native option to verify or locate a storage location in Epic Games Launcher, wondering if there is such a feature on legendary?

TIA

Tried copying files from an existing install and the amount downloaded didn't seem to change. I also tried to set --game-folder $path without success.

Hi, thank you for your efforts on creating an open source CLI binary for interacting with the Epic games store. Would certainly prefer this one than the official resource-heavy client.

I have a concern about downloading games however, I noticed that downloading is really bad on my internet that is suffering from high latency thanks to incompetent ISPs...

I think it would help if the "read timeout=5.0" could be adjustable to a bigger number. As you can see on my logs below, I still am able to download to some extent but the Download speeds always go down to 0 just a few seconds after it gets to start to download.

My internet isn't completely unstable except for the fact that it hiccups at an average of every 10 seconds. Despite that, I am still able to download using youtube-dl on speeds around 50 KBPS but I do admit that this one suffers from hiccups too, just that not as bad as what's happening when I use legendary to download a game.

I'm trying to verify GTA V, but the process freezes at 337/345 (97.7%) and suddenly quits. The computer also lags when hitting that value. I ran using administrator privilege both CMD and legendary.exe

Legandary has just been updated to v0.0.10, and now I can neither download nor launch games:

Hello,
I have some error when I try to launch Civilization VI, it says that LaunchPad.exe stop working.

Here's the output: https://gist.github.com/TADebastiani/de050bf90c85325265549aba266a0de4

legendary import Anemone /mnt/games/Epic/WorldOfGoo

doesnt work. The correct syntax is:

legendary import-game Anemone /mnt/games/Epic/WorldOfGoo

BTW, your project is awesome!

I installed Batman™ Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition (App name: Godwit, version: 1.93). But when I try to launch it I got a error:
wine: cannot find '/home/firebird/legendary/BatmanArkhamAsylum/Binaries/Batman.exe'
So I checked the files using list-files command it includes Batman.exe but it's not downloaded so I can't launch it.

``C:\Users\John\legendary\SuperMeatBoy
λ legendary uninstall Buffalo

Here we have an example of a game that should be uninstalled because the resource is being used(that is what it says in greek) when such an error comes up it should be marked as uninstalled

The computed save path for “Untitled Goose Game” (Flour) is %APPDATA%/../locallow/House House/Untitled Goose Game/. I guess %APPDATA% should be translated to ${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/users/${USER}/Application Data/?

Add flags for download without output (--quite or --silent) and confirmation (--noconfirm). This is good option for shell scripting with this client.

A quick test patch to the following code to replace Windows with Mac was confirmed to work:

It appears legendary is currently storing metadata for things without regard of the platform it grabbed things from, so that's a concern as well.

It seems that despite being platform-specific, the manifest for games lists alternate platforms that are available (example from Fortnite):

    "releaseInfo": [
      {
        "appId": "Fortnite",
        "compatibleApps": [],
        "dateAdded": "2014-09-11T00:00:00.000Z",
        "id": "...",
        "platform": [
          "Windows",
          "Mac"
        ]
      }
    ],

I'm not sure the best approach here just yet (still reading through legendary's code), but a way to specify a platform override for legendary download would be fantastic.

Hopefully this sort of usage is not out of scope for legendary? ☺️

Hi, i'm trying to lauch Jotun Valhalla Edition this way:

$ legendary launch Grouse

and get this result:

0024:err:module:__wine_process_init L"Z:\home\j\legendary\Jotun\Jotun.exe" 64-bit application not supported in 32-bit prefix

I am using an updated Voidlinux 64bit linux. Here is my " $ uname -a"

Linux tour 5.4.39_1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 6 19:42:50 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Tell me if you need more info on my system.

That'd make trivial to pick the right game to download by its AppName with a fuzzy finder like skim or fzf:

Current:

  * Inside (App name: Marigold, version: 1.0.0)
  * Into The Breach (App name: Blobfish, version: 1.2.22)

Sample alternative (tab-separated in this case):

 Marigold	Inside	1.0.0
 Blobfish	Into The Breach	1.2.22

To pick AppName(s) one can run:

legendary list-games | sk --multi --nth 2 | cut -f 1

and pipe output to download / install commands. Humans surely aren't great in reading dozens of lines of text and parsing them for AppName :)

Using fuzzy finder with current output is still recommended to anybody.

This is on a fresh run with no games installed (as far as the app knows), using the 0.0.4 release.

$ ./legendary -v list-installed

Hey, Idk if im doing anything wrong and sorry if this is stupid.

I downloaded the legendary.exe file and ran it on Windows. The CMD window opens, and then suddenly closes without any warnings.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you so much for making this software! The Epic Games Launcher is bad, and your software is good! I look forward to seeing its future!

In my research, I've come across some other Epic Games-related scripts, etc. which I thought might be useful for inspiration/API reference?

Free Game claimer script (Python)

Free Game claimer script (NodeJS)

Epic Games client in NodeJS

It would make the download progress much easier to understand. You can use rich library for python to make beautiful progress bars.

With a fresh install, egl-sync crashes:

To solve the issue I added an empty [Legendary] section in ~/.config/legendary/config.ini.

While 1 GiB is enough for almost any title, World War Z defies that trend by requiring up to 5.3 GiB of cache to successfully reconstruct its files. This is due to heavy duplication on the game's part since it ships with both a client and server that share large amounts of their files. The resulting heavy deduplication on Epic's part result in lots of cache being required for successful reconstruction. There are basically three ways this could be addressed:

• Optimize file processing order to discard cache sooner (i.e. grouping files that share lots of chunks)
• Throw away cache when it gets full and redownload later (inefficient and would require redownload logic)
• Add on-disk cache to temporarily store excess cache on disk during the download (annoying with mechanical drives)

Since the first two approaches are both complicated and not a cure-all/efficient solution we will have to add on-disk caching capability.

The commands related to installation are download, uninstall, and list-installed. I think it would be more consistent if download were renamed to install. I can make a pull request for this if you agree.
