Game launch gets stuck in installing Epic games service dependencies and can't run the game

[Tori-san]

Whenever I launch my game it gets stuck in the Epic games dependencies installation. When I try to cancel it and run it again, the game just won't run at all and won't even restart the installation for the Epic games. When I restart my PC and run it, it tries to install it again but the same thing would happen. Already tried verifying files and it didn't find anything.

Does anyone have any fix or have the same problem?

I have the same problem and don't know where to go from here. It allowed me to run the game initially when I closed out of the download, however now It won't run when I close the download, and its stuck. I've also tried verifying the files and restarting my laptop multiple times with no progress. I might have to get a refund at this point.

I found a solution but it involves uninstalling Epic Online Service all together. Apparently you don't need it to run the game.
