Re: Battlefront 2 won't download from the Epic Store

Here is the issue I had and how I fixed it:

I claimed BF1 on EGS and noticed that clicking it did nothing.  If I clicked the "Owned" button in the store it did nothing. Literally nothing. I tried a bunch of mentioned workarounds which didn't work.

What worked for me was this:

1. Uninstall Epic Store

2. Delete the c:\Users\<my_user>\AppData\Local\EpicGamesLauncher\ people have talked about

3. There was some other folder under local that had Epic store data in it but I can't remembe the name (maybe EpicGames)

4. Close Origin

5. Reinstall the Epic Store and sign in

At this point I was STILL getting the issue, but then I ran Origin and kept clicking buttons in the Epic Store and my library and still nothing. Then I closed Origin AGAIN and finally the Battlefront 2 game in my Epic Store library lit up and I could click "Launch". This causes another Origin launcher to appear to prompt me for my account to link to EGS.

And now I'm working. I have 2 copies of the game in Origin now, but that's not a huge deal.

I believe it will. ☹️  I had Outward installed on my PC and I no longer see it in the location it was installed.

Your cipher error sounds a little different than the behavior I experienced so I'm not certain whether the reinstall would solve it.
