This will only install ~80MB, basically just the launcher. Copy the contents of your Steam installation from the .../steamapps/common/Warframe/ folder into the .../Warframe/Downloads/ folder created by EGS. There should be folders like /Lotus/, /Public/, the Warframe.x64.exe, etc. Run Warframe from the EGS launcher. It will download a few MB and then launch. You'll get a notification when you log in that the bundle has been applied to your account. When you're done just uninstall it from EGS and clean out the folders. If you're tight on space you can do what I did and cut/paste the Steam files instead of copy/paste. This will be marginally faster, just be careful not to uninstall from EGS without first moving your folders back to Steam or you'll need to redownload when you launch normally. Thank you! Worked just perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nithael Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I have already installed it with Epic store and now when I try to log in through the Epic launcher they are asking me for the dreaded email verification code and that SUCKER just won't come in my inbox. God how I hate this system sometimes. I made a customer support letter regarding this. It is not the first time I had this issue. I thought they fixed this issue with the email verification code not arriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some super old ass version from launching it years ago. I used the 'Get Epic Games' button in the upper right corner to fetch a newer installer and updated. The old one wasn't cooperating for me, probably because I had W7 back then on this PC and the migration to W10 and other hardware upgrades were confusing things.

SpikeBlack Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Yes, the EGS launcher and the Steam Launcher appear to be the only differences between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I deleted the warframe.x64.exe to force it to download it again through epic. And yay I got the bundle message right after opening just now. Logged into steam version - stuff still there. So basically, it's somewhat similar to the Discord Launcher technique, but instead of doing it through your files and settings, it's through the EGS Launcher?

SpikeBlack Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Rather than downloading all the files again, I copied the steam installation into the download folder of the epic store version and then performed a verify. Hopefully saved myself from downloading it all again. The only thing that should change between steam and epic is the loader / installer. Claimed the pack but nothing so far for me either.

Yakhul Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It may be taking some time to deliver, but i already installed warframe with epic, claimed the bundle, but i have yet to see it in my inventory. Conclusion: everyone is having the same problem, bundles are not being delivered. Ill give it some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
