Having the exact same issue for the last 2 days. Did everything from reinstall to reinstalling my Nvidia drivers, can’t do anything.

I also have that same issue epic support and windows support are no help

same here. I just wanted to dowload death standing and play my man norman reedus(((

Same issue, tried to uninstall and reinstall Fortnite, now it won’t even reinstall, get that error code every time.

We are also discussing this issue here:

If you haven’t already, open a ticket with Epic. The more people that complain, the more likely they are to push a fix quickly.

I’m having the same problem. I guess it’s time to switch to Unity.

I fixed it. In my case, limiting the download speed helped (I cut it by half). Perhaps the fact is that the disk writes faster than the download, which causes errors (Subjective my opinion) Go to the settings and there find the download speed limit, it is measured in KB/sec

i had the same problem but in my case i was able to fix it by updating the adrenaline software and chipset drivers of my computer. i would say update the chipset drivers of your CPU and see if that fixes the problem.

OMG THIS IS SO AGGRAVATING

Do not minimize the launcher to system tray. Might work??? IDK, LOL …

Works for a while then the laucher crashes again.

Same issue here, please fix it

Same problem here, after the latest windows update my epic launcher crashed on download. Can confirm that updating my AMD chipset drivers (& restarting) seems to have fixed it. Will update if that changes.
