I have Jedi Fallen Order, Battlefront II, and Star Wars Squadrons already "installed" in Epic Games (actually installed in Origin but I need to run them from Epic Games). They are visible in the Epic Games platform and I can run them from there, but I cannot launch them via GOG Galaxy. I only have the option to 'Install' them. When I click 'Install' the Epic Games platform opens but does nothing. This happens with other Epic games that I haven't installed too. Whether I select the Origin or Epic Games version within GOG Galaxy, the issue remains.

I think the problem started when I restored Windows 10 to a previous restore point. Regardless, since then I have reinstalled Windows (and formatted the hard drive) but the problem is still exists.

The only way round this is by adding the games manually and linking the executable, but I shouldn't need to do this now that GOG Galaxy is officially supporting Epic Games integration! I have also disconnected and reconnected Epic Games integration several times and that doesn't fix it either. I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas?

As far as I have tested the Epic integration, it is not able to launch the installation of the game. Instead, it opens the library view of the Epic Games launcher, and you need to manually select the game you intend to install. Once the process finishes, the game is detected automatically and you can launch it from Galaxy without further issues.

Edit: for some reason, I didn't read your post carefully. I've just noticed you have the games already installed. In that case, I have no clue about what the problem might be.

I do have the same issue with Star Wars Battlefront II (retrieved via Epic). In my case I have also connected the Origin platform with GOG. It is installed and for Origin it says "Play" (Doesn't work, shows Origin error) and for Epic it says "Install".

The best behaviour would be to check if a game has been retrieved via Epic and is delivered by Origin. Then take over the Origin installation status and start via Epic.

I have had this problem just now, and I fixed it by going to the settings of GOG Galaxy (Cog icon) and clicking the Sync integrations button. Though it is just an Epic Game, that doesn't have a separate launcher (Wolfenstein: The New Order).
