Anyone else experiencing this?  
I am trying to get the Unreal Engine, but this is what I get.  
I can’t sign in with the Launcher, it even asks me if I’m connected to the internet. If I weren’t I wouldn’t be able to put this post.

svv3dUDN, this is a great link, thanks a bunch 🙂  
I tried adding the " -http=wininet" without the quotes as instructed under [FONT=Arial Black]Error! No version information received, but when I click “Apply” Windows tells me this:  
 ![2015-03-04 08_57_00-Troubleshooting Launcher Problems - Epic Wiki.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/4/9/4966f64fa2fe956e66e2086431dfe1e678c4de7f.jpeg)

Any idea how to get the above done? Or should I skip it and do the rest of the things in the list?

If you add parmetr **-http=wininet** like this  
“D:\Epic Games\Launcher\Engine\Binaries\Win64\EpicGamesLauncher.exe -http=wininet” - this is not right variant.

This should be so  
“D:\Epic Games\Launcher\Engine\Binaries\Win64\EpicGamesLauncher.exe” -http=wininet
