Epic Game Store troubleshooting
Update to the latest 8.12+ version of Playnite. This version is only available as an update (you can manually check for an update from Help menu).
Currently a known issue when using 3rd party services (Google for example) to sing in into Epic account. The only solution right now is to setup a password on your Epic account.
Some games might not start properly when option to start game without Epic launcher is enabled.
In that case:
- Edit the game and go to "Actions" tab
- Uncheck "Managed by library plugin" option
- Set play action to "URL" type and set path to
com.epicgames.launcher://apps/<gameid>?action=launch&silent=true, where replace<gameid>with game's id you can find on "Advanced" tab.
You can set only specific games to run directly without Epic client. To do so:
- Edit then game and go to "Actions" tab
- Uncheck "Managed by library plugin" option
- Set play action to "Executable" type
- Change "Path" variable to game's executable path
Reinstall affected games to fix the issues. Usually happens when Epic's config files are damaged or when user tries to move games manually between disk drives and incorrectly mods files in c:\ProgramData\Epic\EpicGamesLauncher\Data\Manifests\, which Epic plugin uses to detect which and where games are installed.
Games by EA require EA app to launch, so Epic plugin intentionally doesn't import them to prevent duplicates. Use EA app integration plugin to import these games. You might need to launch EA games at least once from Epic client to get them linked with your EA account.
