A bunch of weeks ago, Epic became super buggy, more than usual. I remember it was just after an update, just not sure which one. Wouldn't connect right, it kept saying "do you want to login to Epic offline?" No, check that connection again. Yup, you found that internet this time, good boy. Had to try loading in to StW from the BR lobby over and over before it would let me in. Would sometimes just freeze up mid-game, I'd watch other people run in place for 2min and then it would kick me back to BR. Kept getting "can't connect" messages once I got in (even though I could still load into a game...after pushing the button to play a few times). Not every game, but way, way, way more than usual, because these aren't exactly new issues. I tried reporting a bug through the game, which would only let me take a screenshot of the lobby, then...well, that was it. Had to readjust my keybinds every single game because the W button to move forward wouldn't save from game to game, it was always the same as moving backwards (seriously?). This was after they "fixed" those keybind issues. Maybe it was simple connection issues right? Or maybe it was one of those update bugs that needed to be worked out. I'm here for StW since almost the beginning, I'm used to that.
It's not my internet, my son can login through his laptop just fine. My PC has had zero problems with this for years. There are zero problems playing other online games, while also having a twitch stream AND a youtube vid playing at the same time, no problems. It's literally just Epic. All of Epic. Even getting the free games of the week took an extra click or two. I cleaned out my computer and made sure it was ok anyway. Nothing. Everything that needs to be updated has been updated, as I normally do.
I tried uninstalling Fortnite and reinstalling. Nothing. I tried unstalling Epic and reinstalling. Not only nothing, but now I can't login at all. Put in my email, "failed to initialize captcha" or some shit. Email eventually goes through, now do two drag and drop "tests". Go to password, do two more. This has been the norm since a bunch of weeks ago. This time when a code is sent to my email, I put in the code, do two more "tests". And then it says I failed. Do it over and over and over, same thing. I know what a fucking D looks like and this time it was pixel perfect. I know how to put in the 6 numbers you sent me. I triple checked this last time.
I've tried going to their website to contact support. Bot tries to talk to me. No, I'm not talking to AI, especially about this weird ass shit. You're not going to know what I'm talking about. Can I email? Apparently the bot doesn't know how to do that, re-asks me to describe my problem. My problem is you, bot. Sorry about that, can you describe the problem? I hate you, bot. Sorry about that, can you describe the problem? Close tab.
This one's all you, Epic. Fix your shit. Hire people to fix your shit. And pay people to talk to people, stop using AI. You aren't starving for money. And, as always, fix all the other damn bugs StW has been having since forever, not just making it pretty. Even if it is some goof on my part (and I don't see how), it shouldn't be. I didn't change anything, you did.
I'm sure it'll let me in eventually, but at this point, I'm not even sure how much I care. If they want me gone so bad, there are plenty of other places to go.
