Please give some details on what you did that lead up to this error. I can see that you're trying to install a game, but you're also resuming an update somehow? After some code review, I'm still unsure about what happened here. You're starting the installation of a game which you previously interrupted (for example by pausing it or closing Heroic), but the resume finds that no files need to be downloaded. If that would be the case however, the install should just be done One thing you could try is, instead of installing the game normally, trying to import it (the button to do this is right next to the "Install" button in the install dialog)

i already had fortnite in egl but it wasn't updated then i deleted egl and downloaded from heroic its shows 100% processing files in the bottom left corner and in downloads it shows 99.99% done i even tried importing and it shows 9mb is left to install im very disappointed about this

Could you head to "Settings" -> "Log", click "Show log file in folder" (image 1), then send in the log files ending in "legendary" (image 2; might be more/less files for you)? That should give clarity on what events happened at what time, and what might've been the root cause here

Text is an asynchronous medium Meaning: Send in your logs, I (or someone else) will look at them once they have the time for it

Alright

Here you go!

Right, I have some more questions now, but nothing you can answer really I assume trying to import the game still doesn't work? The error you got with that command is particularly odd

To import i alr had the game which wasn't updated So i had to import and then still download it As my fn downloaded in egl was pretty outdated Should i completely delete fortnite and install it all again? And will i still get the same error if i do so?
CommandMC
CommandMC17mo ago
Importing D:\Nived\Apps\fortnite\Fortnite\Fortnite, the original install path you specified in Heroic, should still work, no matter how outdated or otherwise damaged the install might be
rising-crimson
rising-crimsonOP17mo ago
Idk what happened What do i do now? Is there any fix? Or should i use egl? If i should reinstall by any chance I want you to tell me exactly how to reinstall properly
CommandMC
CommandMC17mo ago
Well, a slightly roundabout way that would confirm you're doing everything correctly would be: 1. Open up a Command Prompt 2. Run SET LEGENDARY_CONFIG_PATH=C:\Users\Nived\AppData\Roaming\heroic\legendaryConfig\legendary 3. Run C:\Users\Nived\AppData\Local\Programs\heroic\resources\app.asar.unpacked\build\bin\win32\legendary import Fortnite D:\Nived\Apps\fortnite\Fortnite\Fortnite

stop pinging with replies, he'll get to it when he can have you tried the commands in the windows command line that he suggested?
CommandMC
CommandMC17mo ago
No, you should... run the commands I sent in
rising-crimson
rising-crimsonOP17mo ago
Alr I'll do it tmrw and say what happens The !st one didn't really do anything now it says fortnite has imported
CommandMC
CommandMC17mo ago
Alright, that's good - Could you show the full output of the 2nd command? - Heroic should now show the game as being installed

It worked I also played it Thanks for your support and sorry for the inconvenience from my side
CommandMC
CommandMC17mo ago
Oh no problem at all, you've managed to hit an edge case I've not seen before (in my 3 years of doing support here), so it's natural to be a bit confused there Great to hear it's now working, have fun with the game and feel free to ask here again if you have any issues

there's a new fortnite update Can you fix this? It shows 100% again But downloads
CommandMC
CommandMC16mo ago
Our percentage calculation is a bit wonky for this game specifically (for any other game, you just have a current percentage and one final size; Fortnite has one for every install tag) We can surely fix this, but I don't know if anyone wants to prioritize this (no-one on our team uses Windows, and that's the only platform the game works on)
