| - | Limited Store Support | The software does not integrate with several major game platforms such as EA App, Rockstar, or Ubisoft Connect. This limitation prevents users from managing their entire game library in one place |
| - | Reliance on Third-Party Tools | The software depends on external tools for functions such as managing compatibility layers and Wine setups. This reliance may add complexity and create extra steps for users managing their game settings |
| - | Incomplete Overlay Integration | Integration with overlays, like the Epic Online Services overlay, may require additional configuration or reliance on separate services. This situation affects users seeking built-in overlay functionality during gameplay |
| - | Compatibility Information Gap | The software does not include a complete list or rating system for game compatibility. Users may need to refer to external resources, such as a dedicated wiki, to identify workarounds for unsupported titles. |
