epochcli

CLI tool for updating and launching Project Epoch on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Setup

Windows

Download and extract the latest binary from the releases page or build from source yourself, then copy epochcli.exe to a location of your choice. To make it easy, just use the same folder as your Wow game files.

Linux

A wine prefix with dxvk installed is sufficient, or you can use something like Lutris or faugus-launcher and just use epochcli for updating.

Download and extract the latest binary from the releases page, build from source yourself, or use homebrew to install.

macOS

For macOS, I've found the best way to run Wow is in a Parallels Win 11 VM. Kegworks, Codeweavers, etc crash when the game starts up and I have not found a good solution so far. Any suggestions would be welcome, see my contact information below.

You can easily install with homebrew or build from source yourself. I dont have time to setup codesigning right now so there are no binaries provided for macOS. For homebrew, do the following:

brew tap eburk/epochcli https://git.burkey.co/eburk/epochcli
brew install --HEAD epochcli

# To update
brew upgrade epochcli --fetch-HEAD

First Run

1. Run epochcli. You will be taken through a setup process that configures the program and creates a config file at $HOME/.config/epochcli/config.toml
2. You can now use epochcli as just a standalone updater or also a launcher based on your configuration. You can always run epochcli -c to redo the configuration or edit the config file manually

Usage

> ./epochcli -h
  -c    Runs config configuration step. Overrides the config file
  -f    Forces epochcli to update files even if they match the current version
  -h    Print help
  -u    Ignore EnableLauncher setting in config and only runs an update. Does nothing if EnableLauncher is false

Issues
