[Kayvan]

Quick question -- I have my main account via Steam and I also grabbed that free license on Epic last year.
Do I have to install the game again, separately, or can I somehow use my Steam install and switch logins?

You have to install the game separately I think, but you need not download the game again on Epic.

Warning - this will replace the steam launcher if detected, making the main, if registered through steam after April 2019, unusable.

I'd recommend keeping a separate installation.

I have mine installed separately. Note though they will use the same configuration files still as they're located in your user directory. If I go from one to the other it also remembers the mode (combat / analysis) I was in the other one.
