Unable to launch fortnite through UEFN after installing the new EGL or latest update

hi @FierceDeityYT ,

The version on the Epic Games Store appears to be an old version.

  1. Go into search engine Bing.com and
  2. type “Microsoft Store Epic Games Launcher”
  3. Click on the link in Microsoft Store Epic Games Launcher
  4. NOT the Epic games Launcher Below

  1. You will then see the Microsoft Store Download page and click the link.

  1. Looks like a regression has taken place
  2. First you must install the old version with Windows Uninstall
  3. Restart your PC
  4. Go into search engine Bing.com and
  5. type “Microsoft Store Epic Games Launcher”
  6. Click on the link in Microsoft Store Epic Games Launcher
  7. NOT the Epic games Launcher Below that link
  8. Double click the Downloaded Microsoft Store Epic Games Launcher
  9. Agree to the install prompt and wait for the download to complete (< 5 minutes)
  10. This copy of launcher will ask for you username/password
  11. then will send you a verification code to enter
  12. The familiar display will open and you can download Fortnite updates.
  13. DO NOT BE TEMPTED to ALLOW updates to launcher for about 2 weeks until Epic fix the problems

@Flak Please alert Epic Support about this problem as the “Get Fortnite” icon link (top right) is broken as well
