I would go through the fixes to address issues with the launcher
Also launcher issues can be caused by your anti-virus conflicts. I would try to either whitelist the entire game directory, or as a test totally disable your anti-virus
I think I’m having the same issue my launcher gets me to the anti-cheat “waiting for the game” and
then nothing happens then it doesn’t say why it crashes it just says it did and i cant ever get into the beta.
I’ve seen a number of console logs that crashed at the same line. Only difference to working logs was the first line of [EOS] functions, some googling pointed toward it being Epic Online Services.
In crashing logs:
[EOS] Overlay library loaded, version ++EOSSDK+Release-Overlay-CL-21323361
In working logs:
[EOS] Overlay will not load, because the binary’s path is not configured
The overlay is a social overlay, and doesn’t seem to affect actual EAC functionality. A friend with the same problem uninstalled Epic Games Launcher and is now able to launch the game, I do not have it installed and haven’t had any similar issues, same for several friends. Worth a try if no other fixes have worked.
Hello Julia! I made an account just to chip in and let you know that Haze’s solution fixed it for me! Before now I had reinstalled DirectX, C++, updated Nvidia drivers, completely removed my anti-virus, and added firewall exceptions for EAC.
It turns out there was a maleware on my computer called “Epic Games Launcher” preventing your game from working.
Just to add another data point, I have the same crash behavior with the same “Overlay will not load, because the binary’s path is not configured” line my crash log. I tried uninstalling Epic Game Launcher and I still crash every time.
This is happening to me too. I’ ve tried deleting everything that has epic games launcher’s name attached, giving exempts on my anti-virus, verfying the files, and deleting and reinstalling it and the error still persists
