Epic Games login issue
Seems like there's a problem with logging in using epic games. I searched it and found out other guy has the same problem too.

i cant either on my steam deck.. out of curiosity are you trying to use heroic added to steam directly? the mangohud bar across the top seems to suggest so
try running it in desktop mode.
how are you logging in to epic
national-goldOP•6mo ago
I've installed it in my fedora from COPR repo. I've tried both epic games login and alternative way of epic games login
I'm using PC btw
https://www.epicgames.com/id/api/redirect?clientId={id}&responseType=code
This fixed the issue
Encoded URL didn't work but this one did

there's a good chance your install is out of date or something.. since its not an official source
national-goldOP•6mo ago
wdym it's not an official source? It's literally on the github page readme.
genetic-orange•6mo ago
ah misread the repo name

@G1i7CH Hey i'm getting the same error. Kinda new to linux so can you describe what i should do here?
national-goldOP•6mo ago
Don't worry, this got nothing to do with linux.
Select Epic Alternative Login option
Copy link
Paste it in redirect detective website
Copy and paste it in a text file.
Decode the URL using URL decoder
Take the client ID parameter from the URL
Paste the client ID in {id}
Copy paste the modified URL into a browser in same device which already logged in with epic account.
You would get the authorization key after refresh. Copy that key
Paste it in heroic game launcher

i tried that. didnt work for me. still loading forever and then goes back to start
national-goldOP•6mo ago
This ain't loading forever issue, this is client didn't pass the parameters issue.

Same issue for me.

I had to use a US VPN to get the authorization code, if anyone is interested.

Using a mobile connection to get to https://legendary.gl/epiclogin yielded a valid authorizationCode for me
