State of the Game

[Red Anders]

All joking aside, I have no idea what is going on in Epic land - not only has the game vanished from my library, it no longer exists at all according to the Epic store, which makes trying to download it a puzzling prospect This despite the fact that it is actually sat happily in the Epic folder on my HD where it always has been, including yesterday night when I was logged in with no problems. So that's a mystery.

interstellar factors and redemption type stuff ... never saw a need for such things on my carrier since you'd only ever need them in the bubble and everything in the bubble is so close and accessible.

takes up valuable storage space for loading up on platinum

Gosh, I'm certain Leo will be astounded by the lack of attention you give to anything bar your own forlorn maunderings!

 

[Red Anders]

lol right after I posted that I went back to the library and two more games had vanished, then they all reappeared including Elite. So yeah, my findings are that the Epic launcher can bite me.

I had the same issue the other day with another game and had to restart the launcher and manually look for it rather than using the search bar.

Yeah something's going on with Epic.
For some reason the only games it's showing that I own are ED, Football Manager 2021, Minit, Rocket League, and Fortnite, even though I own a lot more than that. The Kid A Mnesia Exhibition was also there for a few seconds but decided to disappear.

That would have been my next attempt. It's on my troubleshooting list between 'scream obscenities' and 'get the claw hammer out of the cupboard under the stairs'

Epic the last few updates have been quite terrible with missing games and general instability.

He doesn't own a console, mate, or a Mac.

Ah, so Red is normal - that explains a lot!

 

[Rat Catcher]

Right off to install a redemption office.

Will you be placing your FC in orbit around the target body?
I can use your office then, rather than move my own FC from its useful location.

It appears the library refreshed and now most of my games are back. The Kid A Mnesia Exhibition is still missing, but it appears in the sidebar as the broken icon under ED:

Yep. There appears to be a bug where if you click on the Unreal Engine section, the link to the Store and Library don't work and you have to restart the launcher. Annoying.

I will be yea.

Fun fact for anyone interested: If you grab today's free Epic game you get a 10 quid discount on any game.

Last year they did the same and I got multiple discounts on games. I think I bought three games saving me 30 quid.

Oi. I own a console (several) AND a Mac (several).

And Odyssey is on sale, so I could get it for 11.99 ... hmmm but I don't play my Epic CMDR much ...

 

[Red Anders]

Also for those who don't check Epic regularly, they're giving away a game a day for the next 2 weeks, worth checking to see what's on offer each day. I grabbed JWE and Subnautica in last year's.

 

[LeoBartlet]

Well I wanted to get two games this year for xmas and now that's turned into three games

 

[Rat Catcher]

QED...

 

[Bottom Hat]

Oi. I own a console (several) AND a Mac (several).

But you have a pc right?

Therefore you are relatively normal.



And I own a console and a Mac. Granted it's a PS3 and an iPad. Yeah, I get your point....

No offence meant!

 

[LeoBartlet]

Oi. I own a console (several) AND a Mac (several).

and how do you feel about not being able to play ED on your Mac or many many many other games

 

[DrinkyBird]

Oooh I might actually buy that then. Wanted to play more on my alt but I would rather it have Odyssey, I like doing on-foot stuff and Horizons looks weird to me now.
I think Epic is having a server meltdown though as I tried to claim the free game and it just got stuck on a grey screen and I had to kill it via Task Manager many minutes later.
