I LOST A LOT OF WHAT I PAID FOR! WHERE IS IT, EPIC?
I'm looking to find bits of saved product I bought and was given for free that was in my Unreal Vault that is now inaccessible in Linux. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if I hadn't moved everything around to accommodate Unreal Engine's incessant need for more powerful computers to develop with, and some issues with mastodon and jitsi-meet playing nice. I deleted a lot of old files, which would have included much of it. When they decided to suddenly destroy the Epic Games Store, all hell broke loose in Linux. The content I use to develop with is no longer accessible.
Can't use Lutris to run the Epic Games Store. It cannot connect.
Can't use Heroic Game Launcher to find it. I can log in to Epic Games. I can log into Fab. I can't find the content I paid for. But I did get to prove who I was more then once. Customer friendly.
No help for this, but plenty of help if I want to buy a copy of Uncle Tommy's Cute Cabin.
Fab wants to sell video games. Its GUI is user hostile to developers.
Where the fuck is my stuff, Epic?
Someone in a forum said you could run Epic Games Launcher in Lutris. There is no Epic Games Launcher available in Lutris. There is the Epic Games Store, which still exists, can still be installed, and sits with a forever spinner "downloading content" after that without any network activity. Which is why I noted, "it cnnot connect." Amazing planning.
Really disgusted with the lack of information, documentation, or real help for Linux developers caught off-guard by a shitty move by a company that is loathe to respond when unpaid people will do that for free on forums.
This is not how to win friends and influence people, Epic.
