How to install Epic Store Games with Heroic?
Firstly click the game you need to install and then choose a location & let Heroic do its thing. Once done, you can either play in desktop mode or choose to move over to add games to your Steam Deck’s game mode.
Most of the Heroic installs for larger games like Horizon: Zero Dawn has failed once finished. We also couldn’t get GTAV to install either.

Now press this ad it will show a Window asking you to choose what apps you want to install. Let’s use an installation of JETT (EGS) and Pid (GOG). For instance, installed via Lutris and Heroic>under the Window pop-up, we want to head into where Lutris and Wine have placed our files. For us it was:
/home/deck/Games/epic-games-store/drive_c/Program Files/Epic Games/JETT
/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Pid
We also had to change the drop down menu named “File Type” from .desktop to All Files. It will reveal the .exe and the rest of the files. We just want to select the .exe which is the game itself.
That’s all about Lutris not showing Epic Games, we really hope you liked the blog. Thanks for Reading.
