how much space do you have left on the disk?
exotic-emeraldOP•2y ago
282 GB free of 446 GB. This is the disk that the game is installed on.

try running this command from the command line
LEGENDARY_CONFIG_PATH=C:\Users\batuh\AppData\Roaming\heroic\legendaryConfig\legendary C:\Users\batuh\AppData\Local\Programs\heroic\resources\app.asar.unpacked\build\bin\win32\legendary info Fortnite --json --platform Windows
should tell you there's an update if i'm not mistaken
and then try this from the command line
LEGENDARY_CONFIG_PATH=C:\Users\batuh\AppData\Roaming\heroic\legendaryConfig\legendary C:\Users\batuh\AppData\Local\Programs\heroic\resources\app.asar.unpacked\build\bin\win32\legendary update Fortnite -y

C:\Users\batuh\AppData\Roaming\heroic\legendaryConfig\if it does, does the legendary file exist? if it does, try the same command with
.exe on the legendary fileexotic-emeraldOP•2y ago
C:\Users\batuh\AppData\Roaming\heroic\legendaryConfig\ This path exist.
The "legendary" file exists there.
When I try the same command with .exe on the legendary file:

yeah, idk windows is weird. someone else will know
grumpy-cyan•2y ago
Windows CMD does not allow setting environment variables like this. You have to explicitly do
(the command shown in logs/error messages is only a visual aid)
Anyways, the important file here would be the install log. That's
C:\Users\batuh\AppData\Roaming\heroic\GamesConfig\Fortnite.logfascinating-indigo•2y ago
same issue but on ubuntu
correct-apricot•2y ago
post a new thread, the messaging will be completely wrong.
post your own log #:pushpin: Read Me First | Frequently Asked Questions
also fortnite doesn't work on linux.
exotic-emeraldOP•2y ago
I ran this command.
exotic-emeraldOP•2y ago
grumpy-cyan•2y ago
Huh, that's odd
Could you send in this file:
C:\Users\batuh\AppData\Roaming\heroic\legendaryConfig\legendary\config.ini ?exotic-emeraldOP•2y ago
exotic-emeraldOP•2y ago
I uninstalled Fortnite. Now I am installing it.
grumpy-cyan•2y ago
Arg, sorry, forgot about this
The config file you sent is strange, it should contain an entry about Fortnite (describing which parts of the game should be downloaded). Since that isn't there, the update command asks you about those parts, but you have no way of answering the prompt of course
I don't use Windows and thus don't play this game, but if I remember, I'll look into how this might happen & how we could go about fixing this
A reinstall should definitely work for now though. You could've also just ran the update commands Heroic would run in a CMD window yourself:
, that'll give you the same prompt as above, but this time you can actually control it
exotic-emeraldOP•2y ago
Yes, the reinstall worked. I will ran these commands or open a new post here if I ran into any problem again. Thank you.
