Unable to log into Epic

Trying to log into Epic on Heroic results in Heroic simply loading for a while, then either closing out (on normal login) or saying "ERROR, TRY A DIFFERENT CODE" (on alternate login). This isn't EULA-related, as I've already accepted the new terms and can get the auth code just fine on alternate login. Not sure exactly when the issue started, all I did was go a while without using Heroic then opened it back up to this. Log output is attached in-case that's giving any hints. Result of me opening Heroic, attempting to log in via alternate login, then alternate login erroring out.

are you using a VPN or something? I found this thread here in discord with this comment https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1137365501736140800/1143887796419960994 not sure if that helps I would also try the solutions for the other login problem users reported: - try disabling IPV6 - try using a mobile phone connection to login

just curious, where are you from (if you don't mind sharing)? a friend starting having issues totally unrelated to heroic with a work VPN because of IPV6 changes, but he says he didn't change anything, it could be some internet provider changes my friend is from portugal, but I've seen heroic login issues related to IPV6 from users from other countries too

I hadn't paid attention to the IPv6 aspect, but in my case, I had to enable it for the Epic games to work again. I don't use a VPN. Thanks for the insight, arieljuod 😉
