Frequently Asked Questions
Login issues may be caused by credential problems, account security measures, or service disruptions. Verify your email and password are correct, check if you need to complete a captcha or two-factor authentication, and try the password reset process if you're uncertain about your credentials.
Launcher stability issues can result from corrupted files, compatibility problems, or service disruptions. Try restarting your computer, running the launcher as administrator, or reinstalling the Epic Games Launcher while preserving your game installations.
Download problems may be caused by network limitations, server load, or service disruptions. Verify your internet connection speed, try limiting the download bandwidth in launcher settings, and check if pausing and resuming the download resolves the issue.
Installation issues can stem from disk space limitations, permission problems, or service disruptions. Check your available disk space, verify you have write permissions for the installation directory, and try temporarily disabling antivirus software that might be interfering with the installation process.
Payment issues may be caused by payment method problems, account restrictions, or service disruptions. Verify your payment information is current, check for any regional restrictions, and try an alternative payment method if available.
Game startup problems can result from compatibility issues, corrupted files, or service disruptions. Verify the game files through the launcher (click the three dots next to the game > Verify), update your graphics drivers, and check if your system meets the minimum requirements for the game.
Online gaming issues may be caused by network connectivity, account status, or service disruptions. Check your internet connection stability, verify your firewall allows the game's network traffic, and confirm your Epic account isn't experiencing any restrictions.

About Epic Games Store
Epic Games Store is a digital distribution platform for video games that offers game purchasing, downloading, free weekly games, and exclusive titles through its desktop application. The service provides access to a growing library of games from various publishers, alongside features like automatic updates, cloud saves, and achievement tracking, while emphasizing a developer-friendly revenue share model and cross-platform play capabilities through Epic Online Services.
Casual gamers use the Epic Games Store to build their game libraries through both purchases and regular free game offerings, managing downloads and updates through the launcher application. Content creators leverage the platform to access popular titles for streaming and video creation, particularly Epic-exclusive releases and games using Unreal Engine. Game developers, especially indie studios, utilize Epic's self-publishing tools and favorable revenue split to distribute their games while reaching the platform's growing user base. Educational institutions and students benefit from free access to Unreal Engine through the Epic ecosystem for game development and visualization projects.
Users may encounter various types of issues when using the Epic Games Store, including temporary login authentication problems, download speed limitations during high-traffic periods, or occasional library synchronization delays across devices. Game launch failures might occur after operating system updates or with certain hardware configurations requiring troubleshooting. Social features like friends lists and party invitations might experience connectivity interruptions or display outdated information until refreshed. Payment processing could occasionally require additional verification steps for security purposes. During popular game releases or store-wide sale events, users might experience increased page loading times, delayed transaction confirmations, or queued download initiations to manage platform load.
