Welcome to our Epic Games Store FAQ page, focused on common questions about using Epic Games titles with Junk Store on the Steam Deck.

Does Junk Store automatically install DLC content too?

Yes, DLC is installed automatically by default.

Do games that require third-party launchers work?

Not yet — support exists in Legendary, but we haven’t implemented it due to limited testing resources. You can attempt to configure it manually using the CLI or modify the Epic script.

Do I need to keep Junk Store open while downloading from Epic?

Yes. Junk Store doesn't have a background download queue. If you close or leave the plugin, your download may stop or behave unpredictably.
Are cloud saves supported?

While Legendary supports this, we haven't implemented it yet due to potential data loss risks. If you're tech-savvy, you can manually configure this via the CLI.

How do I uninstall and clear game data?

In Junk Store:
  • Open the sliders ☰ menu for the game
  • Choose 'Uninstall'
  • Then delete leftover files in either
    • ~/Games/epic
    • Or your microSD under /Games/epic
Once you have located the games folder you can delete any remaining games files/data.
How do I find save data for my games?

  1. Find the game's Steam ID at the bottom of its page in Junk Store.
  2. Navigate to the following path on your Steam Deck:
    ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<SteamID>/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/
  3. From there, follow the path used by your game - for example:
    • Local Settings/Application Data/Dying Light/Saved
Each game may store saves in slightly different locations depending on how it was packaged or ported. Look under AppData, Local Settings, or Documents within the Steam compatibility prefix.
I want to change the FPS for a game. How do I do this in Junk Store?

Just like with regular Steam games, you can change the FPS cap through the Quick Access Menu (QAM).
  • Hit the three-dot button on your Deck to open the QAM
  • Scroll to the performance tab
  • Adjust the FPS, TDP, refresh rate, or any other performance settings from there.
Can I play Fortnite via Junk Store?

No. Epic Games does not support Fortnite on Linux due to anti-cheat limitations.

To play Fortnite on a Steam Deck or Linux system, you will need to either:
  • Dual-boot Windows
  • Use a cloud gaming or streaming service

Can I play Kingdom Hearts via Junk Store?

Kingdom Hearts has known compatibility issues on Linux, and this isn’t specific to Junk Store.

We haven’t been able to test it ourselves as we don’t own a copy, so we can’t provide official support or recommendations at this time.
