Versions:
Rare 1.12.0 is an open-source graphical client that wraps the command-line tool Legendary, giving Linux and Windows users a mouse-driven way to access, download, and launch titles from their Epic Games catalogue without installing the official Epic launcher. Built with PyQt5, the program presents a clean sidebar navigation layout where signed-in accounts populate a local library view, show available updates, verify integrity, and selectively install DLC or selective language packs; it also supports offline mode, cloud-save sync, custom download folders, and optional bandwidth throttling. Community contributors have produced twenty-seven tagged releases since the project appeared, iterating from basic authentication to the present stable 1.12.0 build that adds EGL sync import, per-game Wine/Proton management for Linux, and a settings panel for advanced Legendary arguments. Typical use cases include gaming on lightweight systems where the standard Epic storefront is unavailable, running Windows games through compatibility layers, automating unattended updates via scheduled tasks, and maintaining separate library paths on multi-boot machines. The utility belongs to the “Games & Entertainment – Tools & Launchers” category and is distributed under GPL-3.0, with binaries for x86_64 Windows and AppImage or native packages for several Linux distributions. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
