I've just installed Epic Game Launcher on the Deck and had an issue where the starting screen was black. I've already find the fix in * this discussion.

I found something that seems to work. In the 3rd party launcher in Steam used for the Epic game launcher, go to Properties->Shortcut->Target, and change the text to:

"{The path to the epic game launcher}/EpicGamesLauncher.exe" -opengl

Sure. I wasn't being combative, just pointing out that there are cases that don't give them much support. And if Proton reports as Win 7 (a discontinued OS), then it becomes a wash, since the alternative would have been Windows 10/11 anyway.

If they want to miss out on the market share of Steam Deck users, that's their poor business choice to make.
