So, I’m trying to install Unreal Engine 4 and when I attempt to sign in using the Epic Games Launcher, I get an error saying “Error! No version information received.”, if I click retry the same thing happens. When I click OK and type in my Email and Password and hit Sign In I get this error “Error! Did not get a response. Are you connected to the internet?” and nothing happens after that. I’ve tried literally everything… changing DNS, disabling firewall/antivirus, giving access to the program in both antivirus and firewall, restarting my computer, re-installing the launcher, adding “-HTTP=Curl” to my target path. Not sure what else I can try, and not sure what’s going on. I’ll provide my system details and a launcher log.
System Info:
i7-2600k,
16GB RAM,
MSI GTX 970,
120GB SSD + 1TB HDD,
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
It looks like every recent log in your folder is the standard launcher logs. Could you follow the steps in the link I posted below and enable your Debugging logs? Post them here once you get them.
Thanks! That fixed it. What exactly does that do? Just wondering what the actual problem was and if its anything I should try to fix for other programs in the future. Thanks again.
Try the following:
The string you need to add is -http=wininet (Make sure to add the equal = sign)
Make sure to add a space between the file path and the -http=wininet
I have tried everything in that link except for that proxy. Is there any way to bypass the proxy ? . Im using internet in my college. Any ways to bypass it will be helpful.
The best way would be to approach the university’s IT dept. and tell them to allow connections to Epic’s servers. Any other way would be unethical, but if you must, a simple Google search would give you the answers.
I have found a new solution if everything else fails. I had the same problem and tried everything on the internet. Literally everything! Change proxy, adding -http=wininet etc etc… my solution was making a new user on my computer. Found this solution nowhere on the internet… on the new user it just works…try that if everything else fails
