Can you get a paradox key's for games bought on Epic Games store?

I'm having problems adding surviving mars to my steam library because the Epic Games launcher uses a browser link.

no.

You cannot add non-Steam games to your Steam library.

You can get them registered here in the forums though.

I know, but all that does it fire off the game as if Steam was not involved; I don't regard that as adding to your library as such since it is not in the library's file structure.

Thank you for all the answers but the epic games store uses a browser link which can't be added as a steam shortcut. But you said I can get it registered here?

You can add the game's .exe file to Steam as a non-Steam game, so you can run it from there. How that interacts with whatever client/launcher Epic has I have no idea.

All our non-Steam resellers should supply you with a forum registration code, which you can redeem in the Register a Game tab above. That has nothing to do with playing a game, it just gives you a little game icon as you see under our names here.

I'm sorry if I'm not phrasing this right, but it's literally a browser link; it opens a link which launches the game. It's com.epicgames.launcher://apps/ovenbird?action=launch&silent=true
Type of file: internet shortcut (.url)
You can add .exe files and .exe shortcut files but, I don't know how to add this.

Edit: Also how do I register it?

I have no idea. That's seems to be between Steam and Epic. that said, I'm not sure of the point?

As I said above, you get a forum registration key from Epic and redeem it in the Register a Game tab above.

I figured out how to launch It in steam, I just made a shortcut of it and it worked in steam!

At the bottom of the steam library there is a button to add nonsteam games, It works with exe files and shortcuts but not web shortcuts like what epic games uses.

No you don't. Looked eveywhere in their emails, in-app account, online account, etc. I then opened a ticket on Epic Games side and after some days of thought, their answer is "Unfortunately we do not offer Forum Registration Codes at this time."
So no Surviving Mars badge for me on the forum...

We absolutely distribute forum keys to vendors such as Origin, GoG, Humble etc. If Epic really don't accept that process that's a first for me.

@TinyWiking @DebbieElla Can you confirm if this is the case with Epic now?

 

[TinyWiking]

This is sadly true as Epic doesn't support third party key distribution yet. We've requested this feature but have no idea when/if it will happen.

Thanks for your feedback. Not a big deal anyway, just one missing badge!
