I ask this because CLOSE TO THE SUN is FREE until April 16th and that game convinced me to create an EGS account...

It works very well for me.

For some reason, the client BLINKS and is impossible to view anything.

Which wine version are you using? I'm using TkG Staging from TkGlitch.

IIRC, I used lutris to get Epic going for me. But, now I just launch the generated wine prefix directly.
I've seen the issue that you have before, but I can't remember the hot fix. I would try wine staging or
Lutris.

you need '-opengl' as a launch option for the store

The Epic Launcher works fine with wine-5.5 (Staging) and DXVK 1.6.

Epic must be pretty desperate they are giving away Just Cause 4 free next week. :><: I payed plenty of cash for that game.

That should do it. I checked and I use it as well.
