a question about epic games and steam

so if i have ESO installed in epic games on windows and i also have eso on steam in windows, do i really have to d/l the game 2x - 1x for each store? can't i just use the ESO i d/l with epic to play also in steam? I mean i know i can run multiple steam accounts of eso off one install of steam. It would seem like such a waste of space to d/l it one for epic and another for steam. Please someone must have a solution?

✭✭✭✭✭There is a thread somewhere from a few weeks ago where someone explained how to link your Epic Games copy to your other copy so you don't need to download and install it a second time. Each launcher still has its own account information, so they can launch two separate sets of characters even though the game files are the same.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!1 -
jommerryrth✭✭✭i found the thread but am having trouble getting it to work. From what i understood, there's one command to link from steam to epic and it's by creating a sym link. They said to run the epic install to d/l the install files for epic only, not the zenimax ones. then run the syml ink.
C:\Windows\System32>
mklink /D "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online" "D:\Epic\TheElderScrollsOnline\TheElderScrollsOnline"
Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
so i am linking from my steam library where the files exist, to the epic path or do i need to switch them around maybe?
C:\Windows\System32>
mklink /D "D:\Epic\TheElderScrollsOnline\TheElderScrollsOnline" "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online"
Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
in either case the proposal doesn't work0 -
ZOS_HadeostrymodGreetings,
After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's about a PC game install.
Thank you for your understanding1 -

this thread is also about the same thing and contains an actual solution but you were not inclined to move it?
