Lutris, alternative Linux à Epic Games Launcher

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

Lutris can serve as a practical replacement for the Epic Games Launcher for most Linux gamers who are comfortable with a community‑driven tool. It lets you log into your Epic account, download and install titles, and keep them updated, all from a single library that also aggregates Steam, GOG and emulators. The experience isn’t as polished as the official client—there’s no built‑in store UI or automatic cloud‑save sync—but for users who already use Lutris or prefer a unified launcher, it covers the essential workflow.

  • Download, install and update games
  • Support for free game claims
  • Account login integration

Ce qui change

  • Lutris lacks a native Epic store storefront UI
  • No built‑in cloud‑save synchronization; relies on the game’s own sync or manual backup
  • Epic-specific social features (friends, chat) are missing
  • Automatic background updates are less seamless than the official client

Ouvrir vos fichiers Epic Games Launcher

Lutris does not use the same configuration files as the Epic Games Launcher. It stores its own installer scripts and launch metadata in ~/.config/lutris and ~/.local/share/lutris. Epic’s manifest files (e.g., .manifest, .egstore) remain on the system if you install via Lutris, but there is no direct import/export feature; you can point Lutris to an existing Epic installation and it will generate a launcher entry.

Passer de Epic Games Launcher à Lutris, étape par étape

  1. Install Lutris from your distribution’s repository or Flathub.
  2. Log into your Epic account through the Lutris Epic runner.
  3. Run the “Epic Games Store” installer script to download the client’s data.
  4. Add each installed Epic title to your Lutris library (auto‑detected or manual).
  5. Configure cloud‑save sync manually if needed (e.g., enable Epic’s in‑game sync).
  6. Remove the Windows Epic Games Launcher once you confirm all games launch correctly.

Questions fréquentes

Do I need to keep the Windows Epic Games Launcher installed?

No. After Lutris has created entries for your games, the Windows client can be removed; Lutris will launch the games directly via Wine or Proton.

Will my purchased games work the same way?

Yes, as long as the game runs under Wine/Proton. DRM that ties to the Epic client is handled by the runner, so the same licenses apply.

Can I still claim free weekly games?

Free titles can be claimed through the Epic runner’s login page; once claimed they appear in your library and can be installed via Lutris.
