UPDATE: With the release of version 10.15.2 on 3/26/2020, this issue impacting some users on MacOS is addressed and if you are on this version or later there is no need for the following workaround.
Thank you all for providing logs and for your continued patience. We are actively looking into this issue and do have a fix that will likely be released tomorrow. In the mean time, there may be a workaround you can use but will likely mean you’ll have to uninstall, get the latest dmg installer from the website, and pass the following commandline in when launching the new install: -ForceMacOldHttpImpl Please let me know if this works for anyone while we try to get out the fix.
The full step by step and command would look something like this:
-
Uninstall Epic Games launcher client
-
Download new installer from https://www.epicgames.com/
-
Once installed, open a command prompt and run with the following command
open /Applications/Epic\ Games\ Launcher.app --args -ForceMacOldHttpImpl
