Login Failed. UEFN Requires a valid login. Shutting down

Summary

“Login Failed. UEFN Requires a valid login. Shutting down”
Im not sure why this error still exists and why you decided to put it right at the end of the long loading sequence. The only way to prevent this is to run as administrator or get lucky.

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Other

Steps to Reproduce

Launch UEFN

Expected Result

Once it reaches 90%, the editor should log the user in and load as usual

Observed Result

The editor stops loading and shuts down, producing the “Login Failed. UEFN Requires a valid login. Shutting down” message

Platform(s)

PC

Additional Notes

Again, im unsure why this is a thing. If the person doesnt log in, why does it shut down? Why arent you opening a webpage to let them log in there as an alternative. Why is this section of loading at the very end of the process. This is such a common error and its feels like such a gut punch when this happens, of which its a 90% chance of occurring.

Why is a valid login required? Surely if they cant log in, they just dont get access to session launches and other things until they decide to log in.

Furthermore, this bug has existed since the beginning of UEFN. Why hasnt it been fixed?
