Transfering game from Epic on Steam

[kajny]

Hello. I already own the game on Epic but The game keeps crashing there sometimes after 10 minutes of gameplay and sometimes after 1 hour and it is so fuc*ing annoying so I gave up to complete the game. Hardware was tested and I have no problems with other games so that means the problem is just with the game or maybe with Epic. So is it possible to transfer the game from Epic on Steam and try it if it runs better here? I dont want to pay again for it...

no, of course you cannot transfer the game to another platform.

You can't.

1. your crashes have nothing to do with the client
2. you can't transfer game licenses between platforms, you have to buy to play on steam

EDIT: Oops, thought they meant save game, not entire game. Oh well, you can't do that. Game licenses are tied to that platform.

Generally speaking with PC games that are on different stores (except maybe the Windows Store) you can manually copy and paste the save files as the structure is usually the same.

I did this for Borderlands 3 from the Epic Store to Steam a while back and it worked fine.

You need to find the file path for the Epic saves.
Boot up DI2 on Steam and make a character just so the folders are made and saved. Exit.
Then find those newly made Steam folders and match up the file paths, and you should be good to go.

Sometimes you might need to copy and paste the files while the game is running so Steam cloud save system copies them properly, sometimes copying before or after can cause the Steam cloud service to get a bit pissy.
