Does cheat deck work with Junk-Store?

Show contentsHide contents

The launch options for Epic games are quite sensitive, and we've invested over 100 hours in researching and reverse engineering to reach this point. If CheatDeck is manipulating launch options, we cannot predict the potential consequences, so attempting to implement this feature may lead to unintended issues. Due to the complexity involved, we're hesitant to pursue this feature further.

However, if you're determined to make it work, the extension scripts are open and designed to be more accessible than plugin code. Feel free to experiment and try to implement it yourself. If you submit a suitable pull request, we'll be happy to merge it for general use.
