Hello there,
since few weeks i’m not able anymore to use the -AUTH_TYPE=epic Parameter for starting satisfactory.
It starts the game and i can play, but my EpicAccount won’t be used ingame so any multiplayer features are impossible to use.
The EpicLauncher itself uses -AUTH_TYPE=exchangecode, which works perfectly, starting the game by the EpicLauncer authenticates my EpicAccount ingame.
However starting the game by my own created shortcut to the Satisfactory EXE file won’t anymore.
I guess i’m not able to use -AUTH_TYPE=exchangecode, since the code is different every time, so not suitable for a static link.
This leads me to my actual question: Has -AUTH_TYPE=epic been blocked recently? Or is it depending on the game (in this case satisfactory) itself? Are there alternative parameters to use?

Yes staring by EpicLauncher works, yes starting by such external shortcut worked few weeks ago and yes simply using the EpicLauncher itself is a perfect workaround, but not a solution for my problem.
Looking forward for any useful hints,
