Stuck on Initializing

Same for me - it throw Unknown error. Please try again.
Run as admin didn’t help

Same here. Run as admin doesn’t help. Any ideas?

Hi guys! I’m sorry you’re having issues with the launcher. We’ve got the people who made it working on it. If you have launcher-log files we would like them to help diagnose the issue.

In the mean time, the only option for you will be to link in a steam account to use their download process.

Hi Mike it’s not possible to link it with steam account…the steam key url didn’t display anything after you connect accounts…

Thanks for your reply here! I do have to add that the steam linking doesn’t work at the moment. When using the link steam, it just loads you back to the main page on the website without linking.

Sorry, I just found out that wasn’t working yet. We’ve got the web devs working on that right now.

It’s really unfortunate that the guys supporting you from the beginning can’t play but people buying it right now on Steam can.

It’s really unfortunate that people can’t understand how everything doesn’t revolve around them, and that sometimes things out of the dev’s control can happen.
Give them a break.

I think I just stated a fact. Didn’t want to blame them for anything. There is a lot worse going around these forums or Reddit right now.

It’s all good guys, we know it’s very frustrating. We’ve all been customers in the same situation for other games too.

We’re working hard to get it up an running. It is really unfortunate that it’s not going smooth.

im just chilling making dinner ty for updates

Also, the steam linking should be working now. Go ahead and give it a try guys.

Hi Mike, now another issue Steam Key page is blank

Just tried, still the same. After signing in it’s just redirecting to lastepochgame.com and still showing "“You must link your Steam account before receiving a key.”.

So the downloader is working but the speed is sooo slow like under 1mbs right now

this is all i get no where to click to get key

Cannot link at all.
On stand alone client i go down to 2.1M/s … at the start was at 15.4M/s …
My god …

After like 20+ times reopening Launcher.exe as admin it suddenly start working. Downloading the game now.

Launcher is now apparently working for me (was previously stuck on “Initializing,” occasionally getting as far as “unknown error”, now have the launcher open and appears to be downloading, albeit slowly).

Nvm, it didn’t work.
