How do I launch fortnite with heroic?

I get this error in the log when I try to launch it : 
Start-Process : Missing an argument for parameter 'ArgumentList'. Specify a parameter of type 'System.String[]' and 
try again.
At line:1 char:153

+                                                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was able to launch it by scanning the game.

To clarify on this - Firstly, the error you're seeing there is because sideloaded games are borked on Windows. In case you wish to add other sideloaded games to Heroic, use a version of Heroic from this workflow run (or wait until the next Heroic release) - As you've now found out, sideloaded games are intended to be used for anything other than natively supported games (this currently includes Epic/GOG/Amazon). GOG games imported this way should still work fine, but most Epic and Amazon games require launching with certain parameters (giving them temporary access to your Epic/Amazon account, used for example to verify you own the game, or to log you into another service automatically)
