They're vibecoding the life support.

AKA Epic themselves are basically kicking a dead honse.

I don't know if it's just my Steam, but it doesn't seem faster to me at all, I just enrolled in the beta client, because Epic launches in less than 3 seconds for me, whereas Steam takes around 20 seconds. If Steam (and ever other launcher) can boot as fast as Epic, I'll be happy.

Idk why it takes that long for you, when I timed it, roughly it came to around 5s to 5.5s each time. And I’m booting to the store instead of library*
