hi @GiGA3D ,

When a new update arrives you need to run Epic Games Launcher As administrator

Delete the old shortcut

then go into the three dots next to the Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN).

Select Manage and Create Shortcut. This will create a shortcut for latest Version of UEFN.

Launch UEFN double click the UEFN to Launch, or click Launch.

You can then use the new shortcut next time

same issue here

hi so just to clarify for now theres no fix and we have to wait until next update or how does that work?

sadly didnt worked, but thx for the help,

hi the update is a patch (partial).

However some of the files may have been isolated by a anti-virus program

urc.exe and urc.dll get flagged as Malware from Microsoft Defender - General / Issues and Bug Reporting - Epic Developer Community Forums

then verify again

If that does not work this means clicking uninstall.

Then re install UEFN completely

hi @GiGA3D ,

Well useful. Did re-installing UEFN work?

Hey, even after the latest update which happened today, I still have the same issue. I tried to Re-install UEFN completely and yet still having the same issue. I did put urc in the anti virus exception and stuff and yea nothing worked.

hi @Head_Fly ,

Please remove Epic Games Launcher (EPGL) with Windows uninstall.

Download a new latest copy of EPGL via search Engine, somehow several people have a different version of EPGL.

NOT FROM HERE !!!

Why they let These Rogue versions out dont know!
