Am I able to play Fortnite?[edit source]
Epic Games' decision stems from their refusal to enable anti-cheat functionality for Linux operating systems.
Please refrain from requesting assistance with Fortnite compatibility on SteamOS, as these requests will not be addressed.
For more information please read this article Fortnite on SteamOS.
Am I able to play Kingdom Hearts?[edit source]
This is not something that has been tested or investigated as I don't own a copy myself. From what I can gather, it is a significant issue, beyond what I am willing to look into at the moment.
It's important to understand that this incompatibility is not due to any issue with our plugin. Kingdom Hearts, in particular, faces challenges beyond our control, as many gamers have encountered difficulties running it on Linux.

Does Junk Store automatically install DLC content too?[edit source]
Do games that require third party launchers work?[edit source]
If you are having issues intalling thirdparty launchers with Epic please check out the ReadMe section on the Legendary github.
If this is something you desire, you can manually configure it from the CLI for this game, or customize the Epic extensions script to add this feature. Alternatively, if you would like us to prioritize features like this, please refer to FAQ's on feature requests below.
Does cloud saves work?[edit source]
While support for this feature exists in Legendary, I have not implemented it yet. Cloud saves is still eperimental for Junk Store as we don't feel our solution is stable enough to give out to users. which is why we have it locked behind a Patreon tier. This is big problem to try and solve to a level where users won't be upset disappointed by probable data loss. It is something we are looking into and trying to solve, however the soltions that are currently out there that we can leverage all come with large caveats.
If this is something you desire, you can manually configure it from the CLI for each game, or customize the Epic extensions script to add this feature. Alternatively, if you would like us to prioritize features like this, please refer to Plugin FAQ's on feature requests.
How do I change Proton versions?[edit source]
Once you have the version of Proton you need or want for your game, you then need to go to the game in Junk-Store and push 'Y' to go to the Steam shortcut.
Then click on the cog or gear icon > properties > compatability and select the version of Proton you want or have downloaded.
You then need to go back out to your game and play it. If you are still having issues then try a different Proton version.
