The result is expected that the game launches fine and everything opens. but it does not! --------------------------------------- ### Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Other ### Steps to Reproduce Launching UEFN / Fortnite, It then gets stuck at the loging in part ( roughly 90% ) then fails to login and crashes everything. ### Expected Result Login sucessfull, and the UEFN islands page pears to continue playing the game / Editor ### Observed Result Failed login, and crash ### Platform(s) PC, ### Additional Notes UPDATE 7.12.26-1912HRS - The local Host and Local INI Files ( All of Fortnite ) Runs on somehow got duplicated within itself, sending information into a endless spiral loop of trying to login, and injecting needlees redirectional links ina loop in the INI host files, blocking anything from being able to bypass login attempts via the EGL or WEB Browser. The file was opened the duplicated and uness info was removed and the file was resaved and relocated back inot the location working. After this update you will need to repair the EXE to fortnite and uefn, but everything runs like butterr ! !!! I tried everything to fix this including installing pc updates, Clearing caches and updates drivers. Nothing has fixed this so far. I also followed all the steps the assistant directed me to do, and nothing worked. When I contacted an employee, i was directed this way. now im falling in an endless hope that ill ever be able to log back into my account and or do anything ! ---
