Epic's 2FA is absolute ****. Despite having had it enabled since the start, I can log into my account from any computer and never once get asked to enter a verification code from Google Authenticator - it just logs me straight into my account.

Works fine for me but I'm using the email code not google authenticator, maybe try turning it off and back on again? or switch to another method?

Neither option works, I can just log-in to my account from any computer, even the dodgy ones in the local library, without any email code or 2FA. Have tried disabling it and reenablng it, still the same.

Ain't got no time for that! (OK, I'll go look.)

EDIT: I see now. One is called Bad North - Jotunn Edition and the other is Jotun - Valhalla Edition. Confusing at first glance to your average Joe-tunn though.

I had the same thought, I just checked the trailer sooner

Looks they're still carrying on with the free giveaways. The Escapists is next week.

ic1male · 12 Dec 2019 at 19:24

Not sure what happens next week. There is no reveal about what game is free but they say there will be one.

Hmm maybe something "special" for Christmas? - last time they had "???? info only" it was that batman multi week. Let's see!

Interestingly it does say on the page "tune in on dec 19th for more free games"

Games. Plural.

You could always pay for some of the games on there?

Pfffttthaha sorry it was an easy shot and I took it

Imagine buying from these guys, or even putting in your card details - Yikes!

A little titbit in the news section

"2020 is looking great already. We’ve also got some very exciting holiday plans headed your way, including 12 Days of Free Games, starting December 19."

Epic is determined to bribe their way to relevance at any and all costs. I almost admire the resilience.

That said I am not going to be purchasing anything there myself.

Why not? Its peanuts compared to what they rake in from fortnite.

I will buy games from the epic store when I need to no problem at all...... But that said who doesn't want more free stuff?

jesus2nd · 13 Dec 2019 at 16:43

Anyone having trouble booting up Escapists through epic? Tried re-installing/verifying and everything but as soon as it loads up I get to the language screen and it just shuts down!

sgavan · 13 Dec 2019 at 17:04

The only game I consider buying is satisfactory, but £26 seems a bit much.

Spacedeck · 19 Dec 2019 at 21:00

This might be useful to some, if you log in to Epic and go to the Store, you can redeem a coupon for £10 off your purchase that's £14.99 or above.

esoteric · 19 Dec 2019 at 21:27

First free game today of 12 is a whopper, it's Into The Breach! and I was just looking at it on my Steam wishlist for £5.69.

you can get it for £15 if you use the 10 quid off xmas coupon

bigmike20vt · 19 Dec 2019 at 23:43

so aside from into the breach so far picked up Diovision 2 gold for £6.50 and Rebel Galazy outlaw for £7.99

Also considering heavy rain and beyond 2 souls for £4.30 each (and will sell my unplayed ps4 version)

gotta say its another whopper of an Epic sale.

Hehehehe, crumbled after 3 months and bought Borderlands 3. Performance is very choppy on PS4 in the menus so I'm hoping it is much betta on PC. Only bought the base game though.
