Epic launcher will not launch

Hello.

It was working then one day it stopped. I’m not sure exactly what happened, but it was giving me .net errors.

The program can’t start because MSVCR120_CLR0400.dll is missing from your computer.

I downloaded as many of the packs as google deemed related and still nothing. From that point I uninstalled epic launcher, and downloaded a new version. I installed and the same thing happened.

When I double click the icon, the cursor shows loading but then nothing happens.

The only difference is that now there is no .net error dialog.

I will attach the error logs for all too see. I was a pay customer for ue4 for a very long time, could this be an issue ?

Here is the main punchline if you do not wish to look at the log file

I can’t test this but in the past, missing dll files can usual just be replaced. Try this to manually reinstall the file.

I think I found a solution. I don’t know what exactly fixed it, but there was a something from the following things I tried that fixed the issue :

  • ran dxdiag. saw my dlls from nvidia were unsigned so I tried getting the
    latest driver pack.
  • tried -opengl option when launching epic launcher
  • went directly to the shortcut path for the launcher (instead of
    using the short cut the installer made)

thank you, I think I fixed the issue. I know see the epic launcher :slight_smile:
