FAQ

Welcome to the HeroicBashLauncher wiki!

What is Heroic Bash Launcher?

Heroic Bash Launcher is a simple program that automatically creates shortcuts (bash scripts) to launch any Epic Games Store game using Heroic Games Launcher. This includes all the launch parameters set in Heroic Games Launcher. Thus, allowing you to launch any game from anywhere you want - terminal or any frontend game launcher/manager.

Moreover, the game will automatically launch in offline mode if you can't connect to the Epic Servers or don't have an internet connection.

How is it different from Legendary?

Legendary is a command-line-based alternative to the Epic Games Launcher. Heroic Games Launcher, another alternative but GUI-based, is itself based on Legendary.

Sure, you can use Legendary's commands to launch your games from the terminal or even create your own bash script. But Heroic Bash Launcher is for those who aren't comfortable with the terminal or want to launch their game in one go. Thus, there's no need to always open Heroic Games Launcher to launch your games.
