I’m having this stuck on initializing issue. For me so far it appears to be any assets i have that are not on fab are unable to be added to project. I tried a couple that are in fab and they installed fine.
We need a way to get assets we’ve paid for that were never migrated to fab. this is ridiculous. I’ve contact support and they asked me to close the launcher and try again. are you kidding me?
I provided them the log and explained the issue
Hitting reset added a slash at the end of the path:
\ProgramData\Epic\EpicGamesLauncher\VaultCache\
I then went to that folder and cleared the cache. It immediately worked for me while running in admin mode.
Thanks
This didn’t work for me. There is an issue with their caching on cloudflare and/or their authentication backend i think.
This only happens with my account that has thousands of entitlements. It doesn’t happen with my wife’s, even on the same computer.
The symptoms are the games library shows as everything is unavailable. Cannot install any games.
The engines won’t install, all version numbers for engines in .0 so like 5.3.0 instead of 5.3.2
On projects that i do have i am able to add fab.com assets via the launcher, but any of the assets I have that are not in fab they get stuck on initializing.
The log has a 504 error

I’ve sent logs to fab support. 20+ emails back and forth, it feels like i get a different person everytime. They cherry pick one statement and give me some nonsense answer that has already been suggested. Its been more than a week since their last response though. And nothing has been resolved.
Running into this same issue. Tried all of the suggestions in this thread with no luck.
Thank you for letting us know. We will raise it with our team.
Hi everyone,
This issues should now be resolved as a fix went out. If you are still experiencing a problem with an asset being stuck in “initializing” state, please comment below and we will continue to investigate.
Nope It Dosent Work AT ALL
That laucher is a tumor. keep having this issue but a minute ago i downloaded the city sample (since it allwayss gets stuck on the end) and opened it. the entire thing was there and working. after restarting the launcher later it remembered he wasnt finisshed yet so he moved on deconstructiing the working project just to finall finish this with a error saying try again or fu i dont care… its brain melting
hi @KIMOSABEISBACK where does the issue arise for you? Could you give more detail so I can relate them back to the team? Could you also share the OS you are running?
Hi @NewKindOfNoob. Could we ask you to :
