So I have games spread out across several launchers and, wanting to play them on the SD I opted for Nonsteamlauchers from Github due to it installing them all for you. Its worked fine for Amazon and GOG Galaxy However Ive read the EGS games can be fiddly and Heroic is better suited? The only game from EGS Ive tried for now is Kingdom Hearts which is tricky regardless but are other games like this?

As a side note I’ll add that I like to add these games as non-steam games to avoid going through the various lauchers each time. Is this a bad idea?

All the best 😉

    I am using EGS like that without any problems (running Skyrim, GTA V, Fallout 3, Dishonored 2 and Horizon Chase Turbo). Easiest way of adding games to steam is by using BoilR (just click “Find games” in Non-steam-launchers window, it’ll download and run latest version of BoilR), it should find EGS games without any additional setup. For games which require launching through EGS you would have to tick option to force launching particular games through launcher in BoilR settings (you do that for each game separately). BoilR can also automatically download arts for games, but you need to sign up to steamgriddb.com and generate API key (link for generating key can be found in Settings section in BoilR)
