Epic Games Duplicating in Program List on Rename

[ManedCalico]

Hello!

I'm running the Epic Games Launcher in Bottles with the global setting "List Epic Games in Programs List" enabled. While Bottles does pull in games installed through the launcher, the names given to them in the program list vary wildly. Sometimes they seem to be named with the game's executable file name (ie "creatureinthewell"), and sometimes they're named for the path the game is installed to (ie "Epic Games/WonderBoyTheDragonsTFUa87").

Using the "Rename..." option on one of these games brings up the normal rename prompt. However, instead of renaming the entry in place, it creates a duplicate with the new name. The original incorrectly named entries cannot be removed from the list, except by disabling the global setting.

I wasn't sure if this was considered working as intended due to a limitation with the Epic launcher, or if it was a bug.

I'm hoping this is something that could be improved. Bottles being able to automatically find installed games is a fantastic feature!

Thanks!

Confirming this bug is still present as of May 2025. Original program entry cannot be removed, only hidden.
