Most of epic games are semi-drm-free and don't need client to run but few games have drm and need client.Thats weird , it works fine for me when I just add the game I want to play , just try adding .exe icon and see what happens
I could be wrong but I think you have to run game/application with infected DLL through gog galaxy client.About GOG's launcher - it's probably a good idea to stop using it at the moment, there's some serious security vulnerability in it:
I'm not great at security and it doesn't seem like any serious attacks have been made so far (maybe it's not that relevant to for prospective hackers?), but maybe wait until it gets patched and properly vetted before installing it again.GOG Galaxy has a severe 2 year old security vulnerability that is still unfixed
In January 2020 a white hat hacker who runs a security business discovered a zero day exploit in CDPR's Galaxy client for its Good Old Games service. By injecting a DLL into the client it is possible to gain system administrator permissions (that's system administrator as in the Windows system us...linustechtips.com
Luckily it's not actually necessary for downloading and launching your games, but still a bummer, considering I've heard good things about how convenient it is for managing your game library across different platforms.
In my opninion (I'm not great at security too) it means that some developer need to implement infected DLL in application/library.
It is always better to not use more application than you need.
I wonder if anyone has tested other clients because each of them works in a similar way.
