I am trying to start Epic Games Launcher in Linux, but I keep getting the error “SU-PQR1603” error, before it finishes updating. I tried running it with sudo, but it still does the same thing. Any ideas on how to get it started? I can’t install anything to the game engine without the launcher.
It seems like the error code is for the self-update system, so you could try running the launch argument:
-SkipBuildPatchPrereq
But, I’ve seen another forum post where it was a .NET issue, so maybe updating your .NET version?
I hope this can help!

I used “sudo wine ./EpicGamesLauncher.exe -SkipBuildPatchPrereq” and got an error

You may need to update your .NET then, so maybe if you’re using Winetricks try the command:
WINEPREFIX=~/Games/epic-games-store WINE=~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/ge-protonified-4.9-x86_64/bin/wine ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/winetricks/winetricks dotnet48
I hope this can help!

I got the error "/home/don/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/ge-protonified-4.9-x86_64/bin/wine, which is neither on the path nor an executable file
"
I wasn’t able to find Epic Games Launcher in Lutris, only the Epic Games Store. I’ve been trying to run it in Wine. I don’t know if it’s winetricks or not. I’m not very familiar with Linux, I just started with it 3-4 months ago.

No worries! Winetricks is a pretty easy install, and very helpful if you’re running on Linux.

I’ll search around for some other fixes, though!
I hope this can help!

Thanks for the help. Over all, I like Linux a lot better. It seems to be more stable and a lot faster than Windows. Linux also gives me the choice of when I want to restart for updates, which was a problem for long renders in Windows.
I went to that page and did the “WINEPREFIX=~/Games/epic-games-store WINE=~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/ge-protonified-4.9-x86_64/bin/wine ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/winetricks/winetricks dotnet48”.
When I do “./winetricks”, the GUI does come up.
I tried the “sudo wine ./EpicGamesLauncher.exe -SkipBuildPatchPrereq” again, and got
“LogInit: Display: Command Line: “Z:\home\don.wine\drive_c\Program Files (x86)\E
