A new version of Legendary has been released. Legendary is an open-source game launcher that can download and install games from the Epic Games platform on Linux, macOS, and Windows. 



Legendary 0.20.27

This is a minor hotfix release for Legendary, that addresses a few issues reported or fixed since 0.20.26, but brings no major new features or changes.

As always you can support Legendary development via  Ko-Fi or by purchasing CrossOver through  my affiliate link

EOS Overlay on Linux

With the latest DXVK and Wine updates the EOS overlay is now functional on Linux. This means that it can be used to invite friends, see your achievements, etc.

Legendary supports installing and enabling the overlay via the eos-overlay commands, which have been updated to make life a little easier.

To set up the overlay for a prefix you can run legendary eos-overlay install followed by one of:

  • legendary eos-overlay enable --prefix /path/to/prefix
  • legendary eos-overlay enable --app  - if a prefix for that app is set in the Legendary config
  • legendary eos-overlay enable --bottle  (macOS only)

This step must be repeated for any prefix the overlay is supposed to be enabled in.
Note that at the time of writing this has not been tested on macOS.

Changes

  • If the local manifest is missing for some reason the user will now be instructed on how to recover from this issue by running legendary repair --repair-and-update
  • eos-overlay no longer requires a prefix to be set for install/update, remove, and info subcommands
  • On Windows double-clicking the executable will now show a CMD window with instructions on how to use Legendary properly ( #436)
  • Added check to notify user if no Origin games are available ( #408)
