Raso719 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I've had Warframe though Steam forever, though not from the very start. I have the Epic Store so I can play Mechwarrior 5.... that's kinda it's purpose for me. Like the butter robot from Rick and Morty. Anyway, I don't want to install the game twice for the new skins. Is there a way to, like, trick Epic into launching the Steam version or something? Like, can't I just link my Epic account like I did with Steam? It's just skins, so if it's not worth the hassle I'll not lose any sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's several threads on reddit that tell you how to do that. They involve a bit of informatics magics, but I trust that you'll manage.

Maqabir Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I just selected the Steamapps Warframe install folder as the install destination and all I had to download was the updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? This works? I need to try this. I already installed the game again, but I'm afraid of deleting it in case they add more "epic exclusive" shenanigans. I had thought of doing this, but I thought it would still be 2x the data being stored. Does it use the same files? If could just use the same install folder that would be great.

The only small hitch i've noticed is that if I launch the game on Steam and then try to launch it on Epic again it forces me to verify the install, but that takes mere seconds, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how this might be nice for new players creating their first account... but re-downloading the game? Whatever, I will give Epic a pass (and I might actually install their store out of support) because they're fighting Apple and Google's exclusive mobile app stores as a monopoly/anti-competitive practice... and that is something I definitely support!

When I try to do that it wants to create another Warframe folder inside the Steamapps Warframe folder ... and then it wants to download the entire game.

As in the introduction, I copied warframe data into their folder, fetched everything and uninstalled this pointless laucher. from ssd to sdd it takes less than a minute.
