This is my first use of Epic

  • The website sucks. It was hard to figure out how to get the launcher.
  • The launcher pops up ads; fuck off.
  • The launcher does not have “save the world” in it.
  • Wikipedia showed me https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/save-the-world
  • The top-right is a download link, which is not obvious.
  • That download link gives me something that just tries to install the launcher.
  • Clicking “In Library” does not install the game. How do I install things?
  • I had to go to my library, search there, and install from there.
  • Trying to install it gave me a damned popup about connecting other accounts; fuck off.
  • I can’t control my download speed?
  • What does “Operations” mean?
  • Oh, settings lets me fiddle with things.

–

  • Applying “the best settings” keeps it full screen windowed; nice.
  • No audio in background, which was annoying for the intro.
  • What the fuck is this cutscene intro mess? It isn’t showing gameplay or lore.
  • Weird screen tearing sometimes at some text in the intro.

Oh, it requires purchase; well fuck it then.
