How To Add More Than One Game From Epic to Steam?
So I am trying to get all my Kingdom Hearts games onto Steam so I don't have to open Epic and have the benefits of Steam Overlay. I know how to add my epic games client to the list and then get my url but the problem is that only works for one game and not all. I have tried to add the .exe and then do the url launch parameters and it will load the opening copyrights and then shut off, like the DRM isn't going through. Any help would be appreciated

EDIT: For anyone who searches for this in the future. First add a non-steam game and then choose your EpicGamesLauncher.exe. After which you must find the URL launch parameters for your game. This can be found by clicking "Properties" on a shortcut to the game you wish to add, then add those parameters to your launch options on Steam. From then on you MUST search for the EpicGamesLauncher.exe manually every time you want to add another game and do the same process again.

Obviously, these games are DRM protected, which means, you need to be logged into the Epic Games Store to play Kingdom Hearts and use the Epic overlay instead of the Steam overlay, which means you can only start these games through the Epic Games Store.

Trying to get around that is piracy and such discussions are not allowed on Steam.

If you wish to play these games on Steam, your only option is to wait for a Steam release of these games and to rebuy them on Steam.

Bro, I own these games on Epic, are you really saying using Steam's add a non-steam game feature is piracy!? I'm just trying to launch Kingdom Hearts through steam?

Oh can you add it multiple times? I'll try it out right now and report back

Okay so I went back and it turns out you need to add the epic again by searching for it in the file browse as it won't show up again in the automatic search.

This helped a lot thank you so much!
