Can't login using standard Epic Games login method
When trying to log into Epic Games, I get an error message with something like "Incorrect response" and an ID. I have to translate that from German, which might be the reason it might not resemble the exact text it would show in English. This issue occurs in Heroic and even through my browser, with a normal login. I cannot log in at all. I even tried it without any firewall enabled, but it didn't help. Anyone else with this issue?

I only have my Epic Account. I haven't connected it to Steam or anything else.

I'm having this exact same issue - created a post about it as well. "Issues logging into Epic via Heroic Games launcher on Steam Deck"

Same issue. I'm going to try to log in on my browser and link my Google account to see if I can use that, but epic games log in isn't working through the app
I was able to sign in on browser and hook my Google account
interesting... so it seemed to let me log in on Heroic with my google accnt, but now it's given me this error

that 500 error is a server side error, not sure if we can do anything about it, we don't really know what the error is with that information
