Looking at the FortniteLauncher log in %localappdata%\FortniteGame\Saved\Logs\,
if the launcher exe ever goes to the EAC version, I get the error:

time="2024-02-22T09:54:18-08:00" level=warning msg="error running fortnite: exit status 0xc0000005\n"
time="2024-02-22T09:54:18-08:00" level=fatal msg="error running fortnite: 3221225477"

We have been able to observe that the EAC version of Fortnite always fails, but Battleye works perfectly fine.

Is there a way to force Battleye?

Then where is the link of the original one???
This is only thread search engine showed me after searching by error code in logs!
It’s literally unbelievable stupid that after lawless update even after doing clean setup for both launcher and game nothing changes, epic games support tips also didn’t helped at all. It’s March already AND THERE ARE STILL ZERO SOLUTIONS
