Additional information

i noticed this about 12 hours ago. i'm not sure if epic is temporarily playing with us or if we need another authentication method.

Try using a WebView method

Many people have the same issue when using HGL, looks like Epic changed something on their side (EGL was updated recently, too).
Issue on HGL's repo

Seems like Epic changed something. I can get the WebView based login working again on Windows but on Linux and Mac that won't work for the standalone binary.

its failing with this
https://www.epicgames.com/id/api/exchange/generate
could switch login via authorization_code generated from https://www.epicgames.com/id/api/redirect?clientId=34a02cf8f4414e29b15921876da36f9a&responseType=code

legendary currently only allows login from exchange_code
only way i could login right now is modify the request in httptoolkit

Curious, I could've sworn I've tried that at some point in the past and it didn't work, but now it does. I'll release a hotfix using that instead soon.
