Hi All!

I have received this error while trying to open the new UEFN. I’ve tried it on 3 different epic accounts and i get the same error message, however it works for others. I’ve reinstalled the editor twice and even made a new epic account but nothing seems to work.

Is there anyone who is willing to help me out here? It would mean a lot :slight_smile:

This is the exact error message:

Login failed: Unable to login to your Epic Games account at this time. Please try again later.

UEFN requires a successful login to run. Shutting down.

@CookieMaster123 @capybaraenjoyer Please try the steps outlined in this tweet. It’s worked for others even including Epic employees. https://twitter.com/KiriBuilds/status/1638960290283896832

TLDR: It could be an issue with OneDrive and Documents folder on your PC.

I’m having the same problem; though in my case, the Documents folder is redirected to our windows Domain server for RAID and backup purposes. Just changing the redirection back to the local machine is not an acceptable solution for the many people who rely on network redirction of critical folders… Is this bug going to be fixed?

We’re investigating issues with network drives and UEFN. I don’t have a firm timeline on when this will be fixed but we’re looking into it. Thanks

yeah this has to be fixed cause it happened to me 20 times in a row.

LOGIN rejects VPN sources - disabling VPN works but is unacceptable and entirely defeats the purpose of using a VPN. If you have an existing account there should be a simple way to bypass this bug without disabling VPN - please look into fixing this because it is problem for this community when you cannot login simply because you want to use a VPN.

Not sure if the same issue, but I couldn’t log in at all or launch live edit, and I posted here what fixed it for me: [Blocker] [Critical] Cannot connect to server for days. Fortnite CRASH, Cannot Launch Session. Getting FAILURE and FATAL messages in outlog. - #8 by Wertandrew
