Engine Version: 4.10 on branch master(08.19.2015)  
Only occures when the editor starts the launcher itself!

I noticed that the Epic Games Launcher seems to ignore the -http=wininet command when it is started in the standard community tab. If it started in the marketplace tab, everythings working fine.  
So `OpenLauncher(false, TEXT("ue/marketplace"), TEXT(-http=wininet));` works fine whereas `OpenLauncher(false, TEXT("ue"), TEXT(-http=wininet));` ignores the command.

Hi TriNityGER,

I believe the OpenLauncher does not support command line arguments any more, but i have forwarded the issue to another developer to see if there is a work around you could use.

Hi TriNityGER,

Instead of adding -http=wininet to the OpenLauncher Command, can you try adding the following to Engine.ini:

```
[Networking]
UseLibCurl=false

```

Doesn’t seem to work 😕 The launcher complains again that no connection can be established.

Just to confirm you put this in the ini for the launcher and not the Engine?

Whoops sorry I thought I had to put it in the engines ini. Yes, it works now! I just put it in the BaseEngine.ini and it works, finally! Thanks \<3
