We are aware of an issue where new installations of UEFN will not open and will close immediately. We are investigating and will let you know when we have more information. ---

Still not working. Installed for first time 3 days ago. Tried to run again today, but same issue: it shows “running…” but the app never opens and then it goes back to push ‘play’ again. ---

For me it crashes every time it reaches 73% when it’s loading Meta Human plugin, and it also gives different crash reports every time or just don’t give any crash reports or just gets stuck it’s so weird Here is where it always happens: ![Screenshot 2024-03-26 153356](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/c/d/9cd153c0e79342e7c5dc6d9ea3127602e15f0087.png) ---

Hi, All, **UPDATE 24th May2024 Fortnite 30.0** Official Documentation to solve the install problems [IS-INFO-DSTCVPAT error appears when trying to update a game - Epic Games Store Support](https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_EpicGamesStore/c-EpicGamesStore_ErrorCodes/is-info-dstcvpat-error-appears-when-trying-to-update-a-game-a000085705) This my description of why this occurred Just installed UEFN on Windows 11 it crashed. Refused to log on with credentials failed, Compiled Global Shaders failed unable to create many files hangs at 95% Windows 11 has enhanced security to stop files being downloaded etc… Shutdown the UEFN 29.10 and onward The answer would appear to be to click “Run in Administrator” open Windows File Explorer at C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Fortnite\FortniteGame\Binaries\Win64 ![uefnWin11Admin](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/9/f/79ffb7d580072cae7ee9183c7b2b7772dbe61054.png) Everything now installs and runs correctly because all Windows 11 security is bypassed. Once installed you can use the normal start-up procedure. This may solve problems in Windows 10 installation follow the official documentation link above ---

Personally, I had to go into the Epic Games Folder in my Program Files and Delete the Fortnite and FortniteStudio Folders after uninstalling. As they didn’t remove upon deletion. I think that was also corrupting my reinstall. [Next page](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/resolved-issue-with-new-installations-of-uefn/1771613.md?page=2)
