Adding games from other gaming platforms.
I just got FS19 from Epic. I would like to add it to my Steam library. However, it will only let me add programs from my C drive. FS19 is on my D drive. Can anyone tell me how to put FS19 on my Steam library?

If you're not able to find the game through the list, you'll have to click on browse and find the .exe file in the game's directory.

Lower left corner in the client, " + ADD A GAME" then "Add a Non-Steam Game", in the list that pops up choose the "Browse..." option at the bottom, find the game exe on the D drive , add it and thats it.
But be aware that the game can be started over Steam but you wont have Steam functionality like playtime, achievements, trading cards and such.
For that you need to buy the game on Steam directly.

Are you not aware how this works? I mean Consoles also have this...




You Link STEAM to EPIC Games, so that if you buy a Game on STEAM,
that Requires EPIC Games to Run the Game...

Then you can Run the Game from STEAM, & it will Open EPIC Games
Launcher & ask you to Sign-In & such, & such to play your Game...


I dunno why you would want both Running for 1 Game, but regardless,
this is how you do it...

That is the only Purpose of how this works...

If you have, say GTA5 on PS4 or X-Box One, you link to Social Club
to gain Access to Crews, & such, but still run on PS4 or X-Box One...

It's slightly different, but it still works basically the same way, in both
instances the Game still plays from it's original location...




So buy a EPIC Games Launcher Game on STEAM after you link
the 2 together, & then try playing on STEAM?

I think? Thing is, I don't think there is a Half-Life, or CS Go Game
on EPIC Games...

So chances are, you just link them through Non-Games over STEAM...
