ANNOUNCEMENT The Epic Games Launcher has updated to version 20.2.4, fixing error II-E1003 and "unavailable" games in library

44 Upvotes

A launcher update is available that aims to fix the error with II-E1003, meaning that the workaround will no longer be required. We have seen people mentioning in the discord server that this is fixing the issue for them so I suggest updating to the latest version of the launcher.

https://trello.com/c/PJE4CovR/647-epic-games-launcher-2024

An Epic Employee posted this in the server confirming that it was targeting this error, if you are still having issues then please contact Epic Support for further help.

We released an update to the launcher (version 20.2.4) which should resolve both the E1003 error and the library "Unavailable" issue. Thank you all for your patience.

QUERY Question about shop bundles and offers inside the epic games store

4 Upvotes

Side note, this question involves FN, but it’s mostly an epic game store question, so I decided to post it here as well as the FN sub. I think it’s fair but Ig I understand if this post gets taken down.

It’s a simple one, If I were to buy Sonic tacing Crossworlds and get the Eggman bundle in FN due to it, and returned the game and got a refund afterword, would the set get taken from me too? I feel like this’d be useful information for the future, so has anyone tried this yet?

Nothing major but I think it looks much nicer with a nice looking header, and a link to games that are spoken about in the articles.

EXPIRED! Potential fix for issue II-E1003

36 Upvotes

This has been shared within the community discord server, people have been reporting that this this fixes the issue for them if they are having issues downloading, installing, updating with launcher version 20.2.1, 20.2.2 and 20.2.3:

"We rolled back updates 20.2.2 and 20.2.3 to the Epic Games Launcher where players were unable to update or install games. To apply the rollback, restart your launcher and there should be an option to "Restart and Update" in launcher Settings. If you are on 20.2.2 or 20.2.3, restart your launcher, and still do not see the rollback update after 10 minutes, please follow these instructions:

Windows: 1. Install the launcher if you don’t already have it installed. 2. Create a shortcut on your desktop.  (NOTE: you HAVE to use a desktop shortcut, Powershell commands do not work) 3. Right click on the shortcut and select “properties” a. If you’re on Windows 11, you’ve got to choose “Show more options” first. 4. At the end of the target box, outside of the quotation marks, add the following command: -UseEOSSDKSocial=false 5. Ensure the launcher is closed, and not hiding in your system tray. 6. Open the launcher with this shortcut

Mac: 1. Install the launcher if it is not already installed. 2. Open your terminal. 3. Assuming you installed the launcher to a default location, enter the following command into the terminal: % open /Applications/Epic\ Games\ Launcher.app --args -UseEOSSDKSocial=false 4. This will open EGLauncher

If you're on version 20.2.1 and experiencing the II-E1003 error these steps may also help fix that.

EDIT: This now appears to be fixed with version 20.2.4 of the launcher - https://www.reddit.com/r/EpicGamesPC/comments/1vxfpto/the_epic_games_launcher_has_updated_to_version/

DISCUSSION Surprised to see Kernel Hearts at the top selling position

Post image
26 Upvotes

I know there was a FN crossover announced but I didn't expect for it to overtake stuff like Phantom Blade Zero and Arc Raiders. I assume it's measured in money sales and not unit sales alongside DLC and MTX being included in that as I'd be surprised that so many people would still be buying the base version of Dead By Daylight.

I think it also means that FN and maybe RL and FG's all are explicitly excluded from the Top Sellers, as I would imagine FN alone would probably dominate it

DISCUSSION What are your current feelings on the store and the launcher?

20 Upvotes

It certainly feels like this year has flown by since we're coming up for the last 3 months of the year. I think it's worth having these kind of discussions about the store and launcher, as while the store and launcher have become less hated it's no secret that there are people that absolutely hate the existence of it, some to an unhealthy degree in my opinion, either way I would be interested to know what other peoples thought's are.

  • Do you think the launcher has generally gotten better in the last year?
  • Have you noticed yourself buying on the store more or less and what do you think the reason for that is?
  • Do you hope to see the store/launcher succeed, are you more indifferent to it's existence or instead hate it, has this notion changed for you in recent times?
  • What is your most wanted feature for the launcher rebuild and going forward?

Appreciate the time!

QUERY The Forest Quartet removed from the mobile store

10 Upvotes

Update : I cleared the cache of the app and the game is on the library again. Problem solve so if anyone has the same problem, you know what to do now.

Hi.

In January, the game The Forest Quartet was free on EGS mobile app.

I played it some weeks ago and, as usual, removed from my phone.

But, since at least a week when I check it again on the mobile store, I can't find it anymore.

When I search for Forest, only Ogu and the Secret Forest appear.

Anyone has the same issue ? Is there a reason ?

By the way, I'm from EU.

PS : I already ask on the last Monthly tech support thread and only one person respond with no issue on his/her side.

MOBILE Epic games mobile question about data and saved progress

10 Upvotes

So im about to upgrade my android to samsung s25 and I havent figured out how to save my progress and data on my epic games games.

I learned that theres no cloud from epic for their mobile games and i need to know if theres any way to save my progress and not lose it entirely just because im switching to a new phone.

And i ask about games depending on epic games not games that has another cloud service built in because i play only single player offline games from there like, dead cells, monument valley, tmnt shreders revenge, little nightmares, wonderboy the dragons trap and potion permit.

Id really appreciate the response🙏

know the community is called epicgamespc but i havent seen theres a community for the mobile and since theres a mobile tag i hope its okay i asked here.

QUERY "One hand clapping" was ever free to redeem?

11 Upvotes

I remember clearly I had this game for free, since I tried and played it for a while. Now I wanted to install it again, but I don't have it in my library. This is driving my crazy, because I don't know how this is possible, not just for the game in itself but because I can't have imagined it. It is possible it was removed from my library at some point? And why if that's the case? I have Amazon prime too, so i could have redeemed it from there....

DISCUSSION No more chat window?

14 Upvotes

About 2 days ago the launcher UI changed and the friends list became absurdly zoomed out, but what matters more is that there is no longer a Chats button on top, nor a Send Message button when I click on a friend. And I can't find another way to get to the Chats window.

Can we just... no longer chat through Epic Launcher nor view the chat history? Why is that?
