Thanks a lot! Worked perfectly and is a lot easier than the old method! I was worried about doing the old method because I had my game installed in a different folder, so I wasn't sure if it was going to work or not.
still cant play using ds4, already follow the step above and setting the gamepad on steam and the result still same. and when i play gta v epic games using ds4windows L-Stick does not work? any way to fixe it?
how to open RDR2 so that the gamepad works? adding a game shortcut to steam. it opens first Epic Games.... then -----> Rockstar Games Launcher -----> and only then RDR2. but the gamepad is no longer tied to the game. The gamepad controls the cursor. and there is no way to switch it to normal gamepad control mode
can i bypass the epic game launching ? like i want to play rocket league on steam only without opening epic games in the background i think i can't right ?
Is there are way you can make it to where you can use steam inputs on the epic game as well? I tried reconfiguring my controller through steam inputs and it wouldn’t transfer over into the game
i want to the opposite because i recently bought gta v from steam but it keeps acting weird a lot of times ,like it shows running when its not and also it crashes sometimes so i wanted to download the game from epic games to solve the issue. if you can help me then it will be great.
Steam lets you launch non-steam games, so this isn't really a way of downloading the game from a different store. The only way to download a game from a different store is to buy it from that store unfortunatly. So, if you wanted to download it from epic you'd have to buy it on the epic games store.
Kinda, it can be a bit weird with controller input. You either have to use a Xbox controller or connect other controllers to your pc and use a software like DS4 Windows to make it appear as a Xbox controller
adding a non-steam game is separate from steam games. If you have destiny 2 in your steam library i'd recommend giving the epic games version a name that help you distinguish the two
Would this work over two platforms? On a game that is on steam? I got For Honor in Ubisoft and Epic launcher, and I’d like to make it compatible with the steam too so I can launch it from there.
From my experience with epic Games, they only support xbox one and xbox 360 controllers atm. If you're using a steam link, you'll have to connect your controller to your desktop via bluetooth. If you want to use a PS controller you can look into a software called DS4Windows, it will emulate playstation controllers to look like xbox 360 one. This is also helpful for playing older games.
@@angeleslabonair so recently i had a issue where even with DS4 installed steam was detecting the ps4 and the xbox controller emulated through ds4. Check the controller settings in steam and see if thats the case. if so look at DS4Windows guide on how to hide the controller
@@LE5E i dont think the problem is the controller, because I open the game and the user names goes green for like to seconds and then grey again, like I'm not playing anything
@@angeleslabonair I'm assumning your referring to the feature on steam where it shows your friends what your playing, this feature does not work while playing epic games, it will simply say you are playing a game when your first launch it and then disappear after a few seconds. As for your issue, I'm not entirely sure. Hard to troubleshoot something over a youtube comment. I'd say restart your computer launch both steam and epic games. Turn on and connect your controller. Check in the steam controller settings and make sure it sees only a xbox 360 controller. Then launch the game from steam and see if your controller works. Also make sure the games you're playing supports a controller and/or test other epic games see if its isolated to all games or just the one.
Epic only supports Xbox controller. You can look into software to emulate whatever controller you are using to appear as a Xbox one. Like ds4windows works for play station controllers
I do not understand. The game will continue to be launched through Epic Laucher! I wanted the Game to be fully handled by STEAM. I did everything in the tutorial video. Now, when I open STEAM, it opens EPIC LAUNCHER, which then launches the game. I'm there at the beginning of it all! My goal was to eliminate EPIC LAUCHER because it mishandles the modes.
Unfortunately, you aren’t able to transfer the games like that. This just allows you to centralize the ability to launch games from a single launcher instead of having to open up epic games yourself
so this method... you basicly just add Steam as another launcher to the process? Cause Epic lanuncher still starts if you use this method... so its basicly pointless...
it can be for controller support. epic games has no support at all for controllers outside inbuilt in games. If you launch thrugh steam all epic games have controller support. i use it all the time, since i have GTAV on epic, and want to use a ps4 controller
Do you need internet access to do this? I did everything down to the dash, but it won't launch the game Edit: I found out that you need a good enough cord lol Apparently the one that I had wasn't good enough, so after I had changed it, the configs through EG actually work fine. What the hell lol
Steam is the only company that let's use do this. even launch programs on it :)) soo good having this all in one place.

Thanks a lot! Worked perfectly and is a lot easier than the old method! I was worried about doing the old method because I had my game installed in a different folder, so I wasn't sure if it was going to work or not.
This was the best explanation i've ever watch haha right to the point, thanks!
Omg thanks so much ive been trying to find a solution for 4 hours
THANK YOU
Just wanted to play games with my Steam Controller. Don't know why Epic had to make adding them to Steam so complicated
くっそたすかりました!😂

still cant play using ds4, already follow the step above and setting the gamepad on steam and the result still same. and when i play gta v epic games using ds4windows L-Stick does not work? any way to fixe it?
I added a game and the controller works but he game is like 100x fast. Not sure how to fix it? The game options are at 60hz if that information helps
Thanks for the vid broski
Does dlcs or mods on steam work when you have the game only on epic and do this method?
Too bad steam doesn't show what game I'm playing while doing this.
Yeah, that’s epics fault not steam. Cause what this does is trick epic into thinking your launching the game from their launcher
how to open RDR2 so that the gamepad works? adding a game shortcut to steam. it opens first Epic Games.... then -----> Rockstar Games Launcher -----> and only then RDR2. but the gamepad is no longer tied to the game. The gamepad controls the cursor. and there is no way to switch it to normal gamepad control mode

For example, in an online game, are the servers via Steam or Epic Games?
Epic.
Thank u ❤

like i want to play rocket league on steam only without opening epic games in the background i think i can't right ?
Unfortunately you can’t sorry
Muchas gracias!
Can i use mods tho with that method pls answer me
Thank You so much
If the game gets updated will steam update that game too or no once it has been moved?
The same is still managed through epic games, this is just a way to be able to launch it from steam.
I'm playing civilization 6 and epic games makes it hard to get mods for it. If I launch the game using steam can I add mods to it from steam?
No, unfortunately
My controller is taking over my pc and my keyboard is taking over rocket league what da hell
very helpful
I did that but after i launch the game , after a few seconds it goes back to "play"
Same did you find a solition
Same here! Please any solutions you guys?
Is there are way you can make it to where you can use steam inputs on the epic game as well? I tried reconfiguring my controller through steam inputs and it wouldn’t transfer over into the game
Only Xbox controllers work with epic games, if you don’t have one try using DS4 Windows to convert other controllers to Xbox ones
@@LE5E I have the Microsoft elite 2 controller, it wasn’t working with steam inputs. But I’ll try some work arounds, thank you tho 🙏🏽
It still loads the epic launcher which is stupid
I used this for Rocket League, and I get an annoying white bar saying 64-bit at the top. Also, my keyboard and mouse keep taking control. Any ideas?
You are probably in windowed mode, try changing the screen settings in your rocket league display settings
@@LE5E Thanks! Any idea how to fix my KBM taking over controls?
when you do it in rocket league do get your steam username and pfp shown?
@@zepos no xd, game still uses epic games since steam is just working as shortcut but just in GUI of app tho
@@krspy1337 yea I found out but still thanks
what if we download a mod ?
thx bro, its help me a lot, gbu
Clicking on the three dots in the launcher, don't see any "manage" options...
If the game isn't installed there will be no mange option
Didn't work for me for Chivalry II
Does this work with steam link ?
Thank you bro
i want to the opposite because i recently bought gta v from steam but it keeps acting weird a lot of times ,like it shows running when its not and also it crashes sometimes so i wanted to download the game from epic games to solve the issue. if you can help me then it will be great.

Thanx you bro
Edit: I could not find it and then found it on another disk lol
It wont let me use big picture mode like this for gamepad support on games like star wars batlefront 2 wich i got free of epicgames
epic games only supports xbox controllers, so either use a xbox 1 or 360 controller or if your using ps controllers look at DS4 windows
Thanks a lot
Is that allows me to play games from epic games in steam link for streaming in my phone or TV?
Kinda, it can be a bit weird with controller input. You either have to use a Xbox controller or connect other controllers to your pc and use a software like DS4 Windows to make it appear as a Xbox controller
Steam friends can't see what game I'm playing, steam overlay doesn't work either.
Yeah, sadly it won't, all this does it allow you to launch it from steam.
Hahaha yeah I thought it would too, then it just launched the game as per normal, dammit oh well.
God! Thx
Mine doesn't work
Can i launch a epic games game without launching the epic games launcher with this method??
Epic games has to be running in the background
Is there a way for me to buy dlc on steam and play it on a gamr that i got on epic gamea?
unfortunatly no
mans a god
ty
Thanks
I wanna play ark survival with mods if you could make a video about it it would help me a lot! :D
Yes I need that as well I am trying from past two days please help us
I want to play Destiny 2 with this method but Destiny 2 is already available on steam. How do I solve this problem?
adding a non-steam game is separate from steam games. If you have destiny 2 in your steam library i'd recommend giving the epic games version a name that help you distinguish the two
@@LE5E hmm, I'm going to try it now. thx for reply
Not working for FALL GUYS
I try whit callisto protocole and it still doestn work.. i bought it on epic and the controller wont work!
What kind of controller do you have
It's probably not possible to get achievements , right?
sadly no, as all this does it allow you to launch the game from steam, it still acts as though you launched it from epic
I have several free games on epic games
If i add them its Possible to get free steam trading cards ?
unfortunatly no
can you do the same version but for : steam game to epic game
currently there is no way to launch non epic games from the epic launcher
Would this work over two platforms? On a game that is on steam? I got For Honor in Ubisoft and Epic launcher, and I’d like to make it compatible with the steam too so I can launch it from there.
Can i play online co op games with my friends on steam using this method?!!!
depends on the game
The game opens and all but the controller doesn't work
Is there something I can do?

i done that so i can play the same game on my friends who on steam?
Depending on the game you should be able to link it with your steam to play with your friends, it just varies on how you do it
so this method... you basicly just add Steam as another launcher to the process? Cause Epic lanuncher still starts if you use this method... so its basicly pointless...
it can be for controller support. epic games has no support at all for controllers outside inbuilt in games. If you launch thrugh steam all epic games have controller support.
i use it all the time, since i have GTAV on epic, and want to use a ps4 controller
I did everything but when i start the game it just opens the epic games launcher but not the game
Did you add the dash (-) in-front of the launch options
@@LE5E yeah
I found the problem. I accidentally added space. Thanks
I can’t find the legacy option on the controller layout through steam? any ideas ?
Do you need internet access to do this? I did everything down to the dash, but it won't launch the game
Edit: I found out that you need a good enough cord lol Apparently the one that I had wasn't good enough, so after I had changed it, the configs through EG actually work fine. What the hell lol
bro what url 1:22 what do i need to copy
the url you get from viewing the properties on the desktop shortcut for the game. View 0:22
Mine is lunching on steam
why does my controller not work when i do this
Epic games only supports xbox controllers. If you are using a PlayStation controller there is a software called DS4 controller that will make it work
@@LE5E oh, thank you. good vid btw :)
it only opens epic games not the game itself
Did you put the dash in front of the game url? In the launch options, if this is done wrong it won’t work and just launch epic games
@@LE5E yes I did but I figured it out. Thank you
