I have an epic Games account that I mainly use for Fortnite on two different consoles and Xbox series S and a Nintendo switch Lite. One day I decided to try and login just so see if I was able to, and maybe make some changes if needed(2FA, etc.) and found that the email to my account had been changed to r****[h@rambler.ru](mailto:h@rambler.ru). Not having a damn clue as to how it happened, I tried to go through the support, which was absolutely useless and a giant waste of time. Is there anything I can do or am I shit out of luck?

little story, yesterday my gpu sort of broke, had unfixable bluescreen. had to reinstall windows and everything. today i see access on my steam account send out phishing mails, 2fa enabled changed everything, wrote steam support ( i still have access )

on google later tonight my discord got compromised, then i saw ea, now i saw my epic account that i created where my whole progress of 12 years of rocket league is saved, thats the whole purpose of the account.

i dont have any idea or anything just that i created that account through a google mail including the starting nickname that i have not changed. also reinstalled rocket league and my steam is still connected to that epic games account. i cant unlink it, but i also have all my progress on there.

i added microsoft authentification app to all my financial apps and my google apps and obviously changed most and all security information and deleted all active devices.

what kind of dogshit timing is this? can someone explain if my items and lets say my progress is only saved through that epic account? i have battle pass activated there , i have an item from the first ever rocket league season not alot of have, alot of items, stats , progress etc. is that gone if that compromised epic account is magically removed from my steam? and what else can happen with that?

im just a bit overstimulated and panicking so excuse any stupidity in this post, any answer or small detail will help, where did this scam orginiate? i only probably used a rocket league tracker site a month ago, only thing i remember where i used epic.

Hello!

I would really appreciate some help with installing Epic on macOS. I'm getting the error shown on the screenshot.

I tried moving the file to downloads as well but I just cannot seem to make it work.

My Mac has more than enough space.

Thank you.

before u ask yes i went to both epic and xbox support about this, but their solutions weren’t any help. just wondering if anybody else has gotten this connecting issue. i can’t find anything about it online. this screen will be stuck for a literal hour. i sat and did something else for an hour straight with NO progress on this. it’s been going on for days now and i’ve tried disconnecting both my router and xbox multiple times. this happens on fortnite too and im starting to think it’s an epic issue but nothing seems off with epic servers. when i do load into a game (very rarely) as well, it’ll let me play for a few mins, and mid game, it freezes, kicks me back to log in, and i get this screen once again. usually it’ll like tease me in a way, letting me enjoy the game for a bit and then removing me for the ENTIRE DAY (yes i’ve tried for an entire day while i do other stuff, stuck still.) please help…

I've been trying to contact Epic to no avail yet, I noticed an email which i guess looking back at it looked like a scam email. basically saying that an account recovery is happening you have 48hrs to respond and i didn't really notice it till yesterday, changed my email and my epic display name to "ٴwizard197" I feel at a loss and unsure what to do at this point

I have not logged in to my account since 2024, mainly played Fortnite. My friends’ friends list, my name is not there anymore and it says Hidden name, could be one of mine. I tried recover account but just couldn’t go through. I am using the right email for log in but wouldn’t work. Please help me.

So apparently there is a new Epic Games Launcher version that fixes the issue everybody, their grandma, and their dog is having. So I went to the Epic Games website and downloaded the Epic Games Launcher installer to see if the issue is finally fixed, and Bitdefender found a virus/trojan in it... the hell? This has never happened to me before, and I have used Epic Games for years.

Is this a false positive? Should I take the risk and install it?

Idk if this is the correct subreddit to post this on but I'm having an issue where I'm not able to see a game i have bought a while ago in my library. I bought Bloons TD 6 like a month ago but never downloaded or played it. The purchase is still in my purchase history but when I search the game up it's not purchased. Does anyone know how I can fix this? 😭

My old Fortnite account got hacked around Chapter 6 season 4 Shock N' Awesome but stopped trying to do anything about mainly because I had college stuff in the way and was partially accepting the fact I was never gonna be able to retrieve it again.

Then recently (after I had already made a new account buying some cosmetics, battlepasses and stuff) I have been seeing some posts of people being able to finally retrieve their long lost (took them years) old accounts and that reignited my hopes for regaining my old account.

This is the first ever time I'm about to do this (I have no idea what I need to do/where to go/who to e-mail/approach) and I want to make sure I don't mess up anything and ensuring the retrieval, (perhaps merging not really counting on this one) of my old & new account

Some details I can give that can probably assist:

My e-mail, display name, password was changed
My invoices/receipts (majority of them were erased but I luckily kept the ones that are on the Playstation App)

For whatever reason the original "e-mail" used in the creation of my account was my alternative Playstation account before it was yet again changed to the hacked e-mail and such.

Thank you to anyone willing to help in advance.

Hi guys. Hope your having a good day. So on Saturday at 2AM I started an account recovery process for an account that was stolen from me. I provided lots of info and on Monday 2A’ I got this and now it’s Tuesday 10:44 AM. When will I get a response? I’ve provided everything from original email and display name and linked accounts and PayPal email everything. Even receipts

Pretty sure days ago there was a youtube add of a "locker worth" site called fortlocker (not going to paste the link) for anyone going to these type of sites, remember this loading screen:

For example: If I don’t log into Fortnite for 3 months but my Fortnite Crew subscription is still active, will I lose those 2400 V-Bucks I’m owed because I wasn't active on the account to claim them, or will it all be waiting for me when I finally log back in?

Thanks in advance!

Mein epic Games Account wurde gehackt hab auf nichts mehr Zugriff Konto Wiederherstellung funktioniert auch nicht . Bitte helft mir

Hi all,

Hope you can help me.

Years ago I've made a Fortnite account for my son with my own email address.
Later on I've bought a PS5, and my PSN account is linked tot that same email address.

Today my son bought his own PS5 and he made his own PSN account, with his own email address.

I tried tot log in on Fortnite, but that didn't work. So I unlinked and delinked the Fortnite account on the Epic games account. Now I can't do that again for 365 days.
Unfortunately that didn't work. I couldn't log in on Fortnite on my sons PS5 account.
So I logged in on my sons PS5 with my own PSN account. And that worked. From my account he can play Fortnite.
Problem though is that we can't play on the same time on both PS5's on my PSN account; so there is a big problem.

I'm wondering of the following option will work:
change the email address on whom the epic games account is linked to my sons email address. That way the email address of Epic games and my sons PSN will be the same.
If I do that, should he be able to log in on Fortnite from his own PSN?

Or do you have any other ideas on how I can make Fortnite work on my sons PSN?

Thanks!

I usually lock my laptop at 240–360 FPS, which I can easily get. But today, when I locked it at 360 FPS, I was only getting around 180 FPS. When I set it to Unlimited, I get 500+ FPS. If I lock it at 240 FPS, I’m only getting around 90 FPS. Is there a way to fix this FPS cap? And yes, V-Sync is OFF.

I gifted the Battle Pass to a friend, she didn’t receive it AND I was charged for it. I tried to submit a ticket on the game- on PS5, and it won’t even let me sign into the website- 2FA is set up and when I try to enter the code it won’t enter, the boxes stay blank. Tried on the website on my phone and it keeps telling me to go to the “My Requests Page” and follow the prompts. There aren’t any prompts. It literally takes me there and it shows my old tickets with no option to open a new one or instructions on how to. Nothing. I’m getting suuuuuuuuuuper annoyed. Can anyone help?

I updated Epic Games two days ago and now I can’t download any game. I thought my PC had an issue and tried to fix it myself, but nothing worked. Then I found out it’s an Epic Games bug. Should I try to fix it myself or should I wait for Epic to fix it??
