About Epic Games problems

Epic Games problems can affect sign-in, the Epic Games Store, downloads or the Epic Games Launcher, while the website still loads. Game updates can come with scheduled downtime, which Epic announces on its status page. The Epic Games Public Status page lists known problems for the store, launcher and Epic's games.

Official information

Epic Games official status page (verified )

Our check and Epic Games's own status page can disagree. We test from one location and read only the homepage response. The provider reports what it knows about its own systems, such as sign-in, apps or single regions. A site can answer our check while one feature is broken, and a regional problem can affect one location but not another.

Typical Epic Games problems

An editorial list of typical problems, not based on live user reports.

  • Cannot sign in When Epic Games sign-in fails for many players, check status.epicgames.com before changing settings on your computer. Guide: 503 Service Unavailable
  • Sign-in loop on the website If the Epic Games login page keeps reloading, clear cookies for epicgames.com only and sign in again. Guide: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
  • Launcher cannot connect If the Epic Games Launcher stays offline, check whether a firewall or security tool blocks it and whether epicgames.com loads in a browser. Guide: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
  • Too many requests A too-many-requests error from Epic means your requests were limited for now, so wait before trying again instead of retrying right away. Guide: 429 Too Many Requests
  • Downloads stop or are slow If Epic Games Launcher downloads stall, pause and resume the download or try again later on a stable connection.

General fixes: Gaming

  1. Check the game and the platform Online play can depend on the game's own servers and on the platform, such as PlayStation Network, Xbox or Steam. Check both where a status page exists.
  2. Restart the console and router Turn the console or PC and the router off, wait briefly and turn them on again. This renews the network connection.
  3. Run the network test Consoles and launchers have a built-in connection test that shows your NAT type. A strict NAT can block multiplayer even when the internet works.
  4. Let updates finish Games and launchers can require an update before you can sign in. Let downloads and patches finish before you try to play.
