Like the other commenter said, maintaining login session is a bit of a pain (particularly where online functionality is important in the gaming experience like Death Stranding) but it mostly works.
Cloud Save is definitely one of the big flaws. I barely salvaged my Death Stranding save after a Proton version switch (DO NOT do this for a game you have a lot of saves with), because Heroic doesn't do automatic cloud Save (or maybe it does but it's Beta? I don't recall).
EGS logs itself out on windows desktops all the time too. Just terrible software and annoying.
Only some games support cloud saves on Epic. Strictly speaking this is also the case on Steam, but games without cloud saves there seem rather rare.
