Hi.
I have tried everything mentioned on here and I still can not get the Launcher to load. I keep getting the same Unreal Crash report. Anyone else have any other ideas. I can’t do anything with this.

I will send you a link to an application that will Uninstall the Epic Game launcher, it is called “Revo Uninstaller portable” you don’t need to install it, only run it as an administrator, for the epic games launcher and click uninstall,then click on advanced settings and click Install or next
it will give start the download when you click on it.

it is for windows users

Thank you.

The Revo Uninstaller worked. Thank you.

If tihs did help you, please mark it as resolved.

Nope. Not resolved. i gave it a little while just to see if it kept on working. It did not. I am back to getting the crash report again. This is getting extremely frustrating. Why hasn’t Epic/Unreal jumped in? this is a recurring problem from what I’ve seen.

Figured this out. I had to go into my anti-virus program and add an exception for the Epic Games folder. The launcher works fine now.
