LordFatCat Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Is there a way I can launch the epic games version using my files already on steam or am I forced to download the game again on epic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerDracoIta Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 But can we install the game from the epic store while keeping the game installed from steam on our pc? Or there might be some problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please keep us updated, since I kinda want to just get immediately rid of EGS if I can just use the skins on the Steam version. 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.

Triad330670 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Are people still not seeing the skins in their inventory? I got the center screen message prompt in Warframe and I see in EGL that the purchase was made (free) but I don't see a email or the items in my inventory or on the guns like the Stahlta. In Appearance there is no skin choice menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...
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...
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.

SpikeBlack Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I just finished the Warframe loader built in verification and it says it's good to go and didn't download anything. 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.

Today after hotfix-29.5.8 I let the update load on Warframe via Epic then started Warframe from Epic but no Synkra Syandana in my inventory. ---------- Was the Synkra Syandana for all platforms?

I was able to get the syandana by launching from EGS again. Same process as before. I'm sure you could contact support about it, but it seems to be solvable on your own.

I still had it in the Downloaded folder from last night, after starting Warframe twice through Epic after hotfix 29.5.8 syandana still not there. It's not giving it to me running it via EGS, so support it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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...
PublikDomain Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 What I did: Install Warframe on EGS to whatever folder it wants. 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.

Triad330670 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Still not there for me :( ***EDIT*** shortly after posting this I got the ability to re-claim the item on EGL. I did and when I logged into Warframe i got the item notification again but this time the items were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
