Epic Game Store update failed

Having the same issue - What did you do to fix it?

MoYoN · March 22, 2025, 12:02pm

Hi, it would be very helpful for the rest of us if you describe what other steps have you done to solve this. Currently I cannot install epic games because every time starts it says “Verifying Update” and then close and after that do nothing.

legluondunet · March 22, 2025, 12:05pm

To update your Epic install:

download latest Epic setup file:
https://launcher-public-service-prod06.ol.epicgames.com/launcher/api/installer/download/EpicGamesLauncherInstaller.msi
in Lutris, select Epic icon, click on Wine menu and “execute a file”, choose epic setup file

MoYoN · March 22, 2025, 2:23pm

Hi, thanks for the tip, but that has not work for me. What I have done is I went to Windows and updated there Epic Games.
Once that was done then I went to Debian and copy from the Windows Installation the folder Launcher. After that Epic Games has worked.

Volker_S · March 22, 2025, 3:36pm

I just tried different Wine derivatives and at some point the Epic Game Starter started.
At the moment it runs stable on GE-Proton9-25 without the UE error that used to occur from time to time with (Lutris-GE-Proton8-15-X86_64).
I was able to fix the online service with German help (Redirecting).
Although I have been using the EGS for 5 years, I will now part with it for a while and use heroic.
The EGS is running again, but the online service is not working again.

Volker_S · March 22, 2025, 5:02pm

So, I let myself be tempted to update to 18.1.3. Now I have the same crap as you again. At startup it always download an update (436.3 MB), then checks it and then stops.
The only thing left to do is to install the EGS in a new prefix

legluondunet · March 22, 2025, 5:56pm

Or download and install latest Epic setup file in your existing EGS wineprefix, I tested this workaround and it works.

Volker_S · March 22, 2025, 7:49pm

That’s exactly what I did when I updated to 18.1.3.
How can you actually install an old version of EGS over a current version?

TheBigHead · March 25, 2025, 2:01pm

Hi guys.
I’m a Steam Deck user and I’ve experienced this recurring update window after having the bad idea to try to update EGS.
I tried deleting everything ( prefix and EGS folder ) and

installing via Lutris script;
executing the exe with lutris ( I can’t then start downloading the application )
launching the exe inside EGS folder

No luck.

Any suggestion?

Volker_S · March 25, 2025, 2:27pm

…if I install EGS in a new prefix, the store works, but the Epic Online Service still won’t update.
Since I myself lose the game links to heroic, only if I pack EGS in a new prefix, I would first wait for new versions and install over them. Unfortunately you can’t install old versions of EGS over it (maybe there is a trick?).
…otherwise use an alternative like heroic.

TheBigHead · March 25, 2025, 7:51pm

Is there a way to make Epic cloud saves work on Heroic? Thanks again

Volker_S · March 26, 2025, 4:41pm

I never entered anything in the Clous synchronization (because it’s still a beta anyway). The local paths found there are also empty for me. The game then uses the default paths that it would also use for Windows.

I have just read through the thread here again, and for me the solution is here. Works 1A and the Epic Store is working again for now. I haven’t checked the online service yet.

…thanks MoYoN

According to the launcher I copied earlier, I now have version 18.2.0.
However, when I download the latest version using this link, I still get version 18.1.3.
Perhaps the bug has been fixed in 18.2.0?

Volker_S · March 27, 2025, 4:36pm

The Epic Online Service is still not working. I was offered the update 18.2.0 to 18.3.0 today.
Then I did the update on Windows and copied the launcher back to Linux Mint.
That works.

stoilkov · March 30, 2025, 11:04am

Just tried to install Epic Games Launcher and can confirm the follow:

LogSelfUpdateService: Error: No local manifest loaded in HandleLauncherManifestLoaded.
LogSelfUpdateService: Error: InstalledManifestWithDataFuture was not valid in HandleLauncherManifestLoaded.
LogInit: Warning: LaunchNonElevatedProcess: No desktop shell is present.
LaunchNonElevatedProcess: No desktop shell is present.
Slate User Destroyed.  User Index 0, Is Virtual User: 0
Monitored process exited.
Initial process has exited (return code: 0)
Exit with return code 0

Installing the launcher will download and patch itself automatically and from what I am guessing it is making some kind of permission modifications. Once the patch is done, it will results in the error that I have showed above.

After searching for a while a stumble on this link Link which gave me the idea of doing the following steps:

Install epic game launcher normally
Let is update
Once you get the error rename the folder ~/Games/epic-games-store/drive_c/Program Files (x86) and rename Epic Games to something like Epic Games1
Change the Executable path to the renamed from
~/Games/epic-games-store/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games/Launcher/Portal/Binaries/Win32/EpicGamesLauncher.exe
to
~/Games/epic-games-store/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games1/Launcher/Portal/Binaries/Win32/EpicGamesLauncher.exe
Launch the launcher from Lutris

Once you can see the launcher opened you can close it and go back rename it how it was.
This actually solved the error.

NanashiSpaniel · April 21, 2025, 8:52pm

I had EGS starting and then closing without doing anything when launched via Lutris.
I opened EGS folder and a console and launched the .exe with wine directly, it started properly and updated, for some reason. After that it simply runs fine in Lutris.

Evvi · June 23, 2025, 5:57pm

Hey there!
I’ve encountered this issue before and just recently solved it again—none of the methods in this thread worked for me this time, but I managed to find my own solution.
I tried everything: different Wine versions, MSI installer, renaming folders—nothing worked. But it turned out the fix was just adjusting file permissions. I don’t know which exact permission was the issue, but here’s what I did:

I went to the folder:

…/Games/epic-games-store/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games/Launcher

I allowed read/write/edit/delete access for all users. On Ubuntu, you can do this by right-clicking the folder → Properties → Permissions tab. By doing this, the lock icon on the folder should also be gone.
(I gave about everything access, though some of it seemed to automatically revert. The key change should be your user.)

Once I did that, the Launcher completed the 570 MB update and works perfectly now.

Do note that I have installed the newest EpicInstaller-18.7.0.msi manually and I’m currently using Wine TKG 10.7.
Previously when encountering this problem a few months ago, switching Wine versions worked for me as well—like GE-Proton9-25, which @ Volker_S mentioned. It is recommended to use the wine-10.7-staging-tk-x86_64 if possible.

I hope this helps someone else out there! Let me know if you’d like me to share screenshots or specifics.

legluondunet · June 24, 2025, 7:42am

Sorry but this is not the right solution:
actually Epic Game Store is only compatible with Wine Staging TKG 10.7
With Wine Staging TKG 10.7 you can:

install Epic Game Store
launch Epic Game Store
install Epic Services Online

You can install Wine Staging TKG 10.7 for Lutris with a tierce app like ProtonPlus

Evvi · June 24, 2025, 9:33am

@legluondunet That is what i said. I am currently using Wine staging TKG 10.7. Previously i was able to use other versions, but by just using TKG 10.7 was not enough to fix the problem for me.

gree · June 26, 2025, 9:26am

Hi, I’ve tried to completely wipe out Epic Game Store and then enable and install it again and even though, the installation goes through just fine and then the verification as well after that, I got the process hang without any screen or tray icon. (I also chmod a+rwxed the whole tree, incl. the parent dirs, but no change). I would appreciate any help.

So what worked for me was: Using the old Epic Game Store directory (which I luckily had a backup for), which before ended for me in the updating loop. And switching it in lutris to wine-10.7-staging-tk-x86_64. Btw. when I run it now, there are no LogStreaming: Warning: Failed to read file ... errors, so maybe there still was some problem in the clean install with permissions/paths or something (note that I have installed the epic game store on a mounted drive, so the path is /mnt/something/something/epic-gamestore/...
