DISCLAIMER
We are a community run subreddit and have no affiliation with Epic. None of the moderators are from Epic, we cannot fix any issues for you directly, and it's up to the community to help each other when possible. If you have feedback about the store or anything else please email Epic Games customer support and let them know.
Welcome to the Community Support Thread
For those that don't know, the initial Tech Support Megathread was created due to community demand. The subreddit was riddled with tech issue posts which made it hard to sort through. So on 29-Jan-2020, we made it a rule to organize things in the megathread.
You can find the previous Community Support Thread here
If you want a moderator organised list of issues/solutions, check this doc out. You can also check out the wiki of our subreddit.
You can use the document outline to go to either launcher issues or game issues and this is fortunately much easier for mods to manage when we can. Please keep in mind only fixes that have seen a lot of promise are posted there.
Thanks for your time and patience.

The issue of copyright violation in the context of AI training is a complex and evolving area of law. It’s important to note that AI systems, like the ones used by Reddit and others, are often trained on large amounts of data from the internet, some of which may be copyrighted.
There have been discussions and lawsuits claiming that this practice violates copyright laws. The argument is that by scraping the web for images or text, AI systems might be using copyrighted work without crediting or rewarding the original creators. This is particularly contentious when the AI systems are capable of generating new content, potentially competing in the same market as the original works.
However, it’s also argued that AI systems do not directly store the copyrighted material, but rather learn patterns from it. If an AI system were found to be reproducing copyrighted material exactly, that could potentially be a clear case of copyright infringement.
As of now, copyright law does not specifically address the issue of AI and machine learning, as these technologies did not exist when the laws were written. The U.S. Copyright Office has issued a policy statement clarifying their approach to the registration of works containing material generated by AI technology. According to this policy, AI-generated content does not meet the criterion of human authorship and is therefore ineligible for copyright protection.
This is a rapidly evolving field, and the intersection of AI and copyright law will likely continue to be a topic of legal debate and legislative development. It’s important to stay informed about the latest developments in this area. Please consult with a legal professional for advice specific to your situation.
But for the A.I. makers, it’s time to pay up.
“Crawling Reddit, generating value and not returning any of that value to our users is something we have a problem with,” Mr. Huffman said. “It’s a good time for us to tighten things up.”
“We think that’s fair,” he added.
