Yesterday still working fine, issue happened 18 Jan 2025

[Dummerle]

Yesterday I had the same big. I fixed it by visiting epicgames.co in the browser. There I had to accept new TOS. Then try again in rare

It would not count this as a bug, as it is not something to work-around. Epic wanted us to accept their updated TOS. The only way this could happen directly through Rare is to include pywebview with it.

On the matter of pywebview, I tried it again fairly recently, after the PySide6 update. It is still broken on all platforms, although much less on Windows than other OSes. Other that the issues pywebview itself has, users tend to "optimize" their systems and remove critical Windows components, Edge being one of them, and the webview requires Edge to work on Windows. If we would enable it we risk having a lot of people complaining about it not working.

@loathingKernel I didn't remove edge ~ tried this method (#523 (comment)) it works.

The comment about pywebview and Edge in this case is a potential workaround to not having to use an external browser to log in first. With an embedded browser you would get notified when you tried to log in that you need to accept the updated TOS. It is not applicable to your case, as Rare right now doesn't ship with pywebview
