Thanks for the quick reply. I installed Origin & the result is the same -- it redirects me to Epic Games Launcher & I have to click on "Install" to run it.
At your EA accounts profile page, under "Connections" is your Epic Account registered under connected accounts?
Yes, it is. Steam & Epic Games are listed as connected accounts.
It is hard to say exactly where the problem lies, but I would think that in this case the Epic launcher is the prime suspect.
Please look at this Epic troubleshooting guide and preform following steps in order. (restart the PC and test after any step.)
No go on all three. For number 2 I had to run Epic Games Launcher as admin first & leave it open, then try launching from the shortcut. It keeps directing me to the Epic Games Launcher, where I have to click "Install" to run the game. Same thing with the EA app too.
I also had no idea I was uninstalling all of my Epic games along with the launcher, so now I have to reinstall 438 GB of games -- but I thankfully have a recent backup, so it's really no big deal. I should have known that might happen in the first place.
