[Hazard]

Its easy. Verify Game files, then it will try redownload Epic overlay just hit cancel and it boots the game without it

Sony decided to sell less copies by adding that I guess.

Unnecessary malware = fewer positive reviews. Fewer positive reviews = fewer sales. Tis indeed how it works.

Go check the user reviews on steam. Many of the negative reviews mentioning the egs addition have hundreds of likes. This indicates the warning has put many people off the purchase.


On balanced perspective:

Include egs on steam and lose sales due to its requirement/installation.
For many people do not want to install it and therefore will not make a purchase of the game solely based on its inclusion.

Or

Don’t include egs and therefore no one has an issue with an additional overlay. Therefore no one is put off by that addition when making that purchase.

If you disagree with this logic you are some egs fortnite cuck.

Oops. I guess a combo of less mass appeal like sackboy and the egs overlay implementation really have damaged potential sales. Who woulda’ thought?

Let’s face it: Bloodborne, Demon’s Souls Remake and Tsushima would make bank on pc. Hell, even shadow of the colossus remake would make a splash.

Next sony test is TLOU part 1 which could go either way.

Overpriced second re-release of a 2013 game a decade span might be boosted by the hbo show’s current popularity. Unsure if they plan to include MP as it was absent from uncharted on pc.

One thing is for sure though, Egs overlay will always hurt sales on steam/pc. Hope they learn from this mistake along with the people excusing it.

Got no Epic overlay in my game delete the install script in Returnal\Returnal\Binaries\Win64 before steam runs it, then make a copy of Returnal-Win64-Shipping.exe then rename the Copy to Launcher.exe delete or override the EPIC Launcher.exe in Returnal\Returnal\Binaries\Win64

[GreedyChip]

If you don't want steam to run every time Returnal-Win64-Shipping.exe is executed then replace steam_api64.dll that is in Returnal\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\Steamworks\Steamv147\Win64 with steam_api64.dll that is in Goldberg Emulator zip file then when you execute Returnal-Win64-Shipping.exe it will no longer execute Launcher.exe
