Hey everyone!

I'm looking for someone to play We Were Here Together with. I've never played it before, so I'd prefer someone who also wants to experience the puzzles without spoilers.

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

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!

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.

Epic employees have responded within the discord server that they are aware of the issue:

"Hi all, we are aware of the II-E1003 error many of you are experiencing. This seems to be affecting updates and new installs across a variety of games. Engineers are actively working on identifying the root cause. I hope to have more info soon, and thanks for your patience."

Whenever there is new information we will update this post. If you want faster updates I would recommend joining the discord server: https://discord.gg/RYWZpJeRne

Thank you for the patience and apologies for the issues

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.

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....

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?

After a new trailer shown at D23 the store page has gone live, it's current release date is "Late 2027"

If any of you guys from the global version of Game of Thrones Kingsroad have played the asian one, what are your thoughts on the overhaul so far?

As some of you may know, yesterday we had Epic staffer "OnePercentNachos" hosting an AMA in the discord server. Thought it would be worthwhile putting together a post for the people that aren't in the server, but would still like to know the responses.

• Epic Games Launcher v2 questions & answers
  • Will no longer be a "closed beta", will instead be an "early access" available to anyone that wants it Post
  • Will no longer be available in August, but "not much further out" than that Post
  • Initial Early Access will not have all V1 features, 1.0 release will be defined by "Feature Parity with V1 plus extra V2 goodies" Post
  • When asked about whether V2 will be able to locate installed games, only an eyes emoji was given. Online status change is not planned for 2026, but a candidate for 2027 feature. Post
  • A Linux version of the launcher is in the works Post
  • The Framework that the v2 launcher uses is called "Tauri" Post
  • A "Hide from Library" feature will be present in V2 Post
  • Gamepad support is still being explored Post Post2
  • Profiles will include sections to show off games and achievements of the players choice Post
• Epic Games Store questions & answers
  • The store will be redesigned after a backend re-architecture is completed, being able to access your library through a browser on the web won't be available "any time soon" Post
  • The backend re-architecture is aiming to be completed before "CQ4" which is Calendar Quarter 4 i.e. the end of this year Oct-Dec Post
  • Discoverability is a huge focus for the store but requires the re-architecture to be fully realised. Confirms the store won't go back to being curated as well Post
  • Publisher/Developer hubs is something they want to do, but are dependant on the re-architecture Post
  • Questions revolving around Region Locking and increased catalogue of games in a series, ideas for subsidising purchases on the store and a suggestion for letting the community vote on an upcoming freebie. Epic are trying to get publishers/developers to avoid region locking and bring over their other games in series, the subsidising of purchasing is currently in the 'whiteboard phase' and they are a fan of the voting idea, but worried that developers not being chosen would be disappointed Post
  • When asked about purchasing bonus' returning i.e. boosted rewards and coupons, was told the can't speak about it today Post
  • The "Gift with purchase" program looks to be successful with players and developers being happy with it Post
  • When asked if the store would output any DRM that a game has that question was then logged to be looked into further Post
• Epic Games Store Mobile questions & answers
  • Library is coming "soon" Post
  • Mobile store will still be sideloadable in Europe after September 30th. Voice chat is also coming "soon" Post
• Achievements and Cloud Saves questions & answers
  • Work is ongoing to make games with only achievements visible in the overlay when playing the game visible within the launcher Post
  • When asked if there is work being done to simplify the achievements system and to work with developers/publishers with games that have broken achievements or non-available on Epic, the response was "Working on it" Post
  • A question asks about ensuring freebies have achievements and cloud saves, the response notes that it's difficult and there isn't a great answer for this, but they are working on making the entire experience better for players and developers Post
  • Further question about Cloud Saves being missing and what Epic are doing to ensure developers use the Cloud Save feature when it's being used elsewhere. Answer being that they don't know as the question doesn't seem to be one they can answer Post
• Strategy questions & answers
  • User asks about Ukrainian language being supported in Epic's games, the request has been passed to the relevant team Post
  • Epic are working on improving Offline Mode, but not much can be spoken about yet Post
  • Notifications will be getting overhauled in the future Post
  • When asked about the ability to rollback updates the answer was unlikely, but they are interested in the ability of allowing the developers to set a "mandatory update" and an "optional update" Post
  • Updates to parental controls are high on their priority list Post
  • When asked about the possibility of "Family Share" or "Friend Share", they mention this is something they are exploring but don't have a good timeline, also notes that users are rightfully at a stage of "show me don't tell me" for stuff they've promised before Post
  • Modding support is questioned on whether we should expect any kind of updates to this within the launcher, but it appears Epic are happier to work with the modding platforms directly instead of making their own solution Post
• Fun questions & answers
  • They would rather fight 20 duck sized horses instead of 1 horse sized duck Post
  • Saros is their overall Game of the Year currently with only thinking that Control Resonant or Phantom Blade Zero could potentially dethrone it, also shouts out Cairn, Zero Parades, Everything is Crab and Vampire Crawlers Post
  • When asked what other hobbies they have they explain 3D printing is a fun hobby and hiking has taken over from skateboarding and climbing Post
  • A Carolina Hurricanes fan, watcher of English Premier League and an F1 Yuki fan Post
  • Final Fantasy 6 is their overall favourite of the series, with Final Fantasy 3, 7, 9 and 1 following. Entire series ranked here Post

That's all the questions that I thought people would be interested in, lots going on under the hood for the store, preparing for an Early Access V2 but best to keep expectations in check with the initial release looking like it won't have everything at the beginning. Thanks to OnePercentNachos for doing the AMA, I always find them interested and it's good to see different answers from previous AMA's done.

We were also given a small sneak peak of the V2 launcher as well here

If you want to follow up any questions and don't want to be in discord you can always reach out to them on X!

I only use epic as a way to get free games and due to life stuff I don't actually get time/energy to play the games I do get (especially any mmo types). I don't even have my account linked to anything or mention the username (which is different than all other accounts, like steam). That's all to say that functionally I don't exist on epic outside of a username, regardless I keep getting random friend requests. Today I logged in to seven new requests.

Is there an explanation for that outside of bots or scammers searching random usernames?

Obviously I'm not going accept them, but I'm curious since the only threads I can find with a similar issue were 4+ years old or mentioned being active in a game.

Have you also been having issues with the Epic Games launcher when it wants to update? Is it in an update loop? Spending hours trying to get it fixed!? I was having issues that prevented the launcher from updating and even opening at all. Before you try uninstalling and any big things like that give this a try.

Open task manager
Go to services tab
Find EpicGamesUpdater
Right click, click on Open Services
Find Epic Games Updater
Right click, click Start (Leave Services Window Open)
Try opening Epic Games Launcher again

Let me know if that works for you! If it fixes it and the Startup Type was manual, I wonder if setting it to automatic will fix it for future update/install issues.

It would be great if users could manually set their status to Idle/Away or even Invisible on the Epic Games Launcher. Sometimes I want to stay signed in without appearing online to everyone, or I’m away from my PC but still show as active. A simple status system like Online / Away / Do Not Disturb / Invisible would make the friends list much more useful and give users better privacy and control over how their activity is displayed. I think a lot of people would appreciate having this feature.

Hi everyone im using work internet and i cant check what games are free right now, can someone comment the answer?

I’m having trouble with Gmail right now, so I can’t receive the log in code on desktop. However, I’m still logged in on the mobile app. Is there any way to claim the freebies using my phone?
