To generate Epic Games Installer logs:
Windows
-
Place the Epic Games launcher installer .msi file on the root of the C:
drive.
-
Press Windows Key + R and enter the following:
-
msiexec /i C:\EpicGamesLauncherInstaller.msi /L*V
C:\EpicGamesInstallerLog.txt
-
Use the exact name of the installer msi file in place of
"EpicGamesLauncherInstaller.msi"
Note: Please make sure you include the .msi suffix when running the command;
otherwise, you may experience errors while running the installer.
-
Once the command is entered, press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER to
run it as an administrator.
This will run the installer and generate a log file called
EpicGamesInstallerLog.txt. This will be saved on the root of
your C: drive. Once you locate the text file attach it to your ticket if you
have one and we’ll be happy to help you further.
Mac
-
Open a terminal and enter the following line:
open /Applications/Epic\ Games\ Launcher.app --args -debuglogging

been reproduced.

-
In your terminal, enter the following line:
open /Users/[YourUserNameHere]/Library/Logs/Unreal\
Engine/EpicGamesLauncher
-
In the resulting window, right click on the EpicGamesLauncher folder and
