It's nothing on you, I'm not entirely sure off the top of my head why it does that but it's been going on for a little while and nobody has been having issues internally related to it. Likely a remnant of the work done on EOS and etc.
ah.... "Epic Online Services (EOS) are free, cross-platform services for multiplayer games. EOS is quick to install into your game..."
thanks!
so it's something The Fun Pimps are using as anti-piracy authentication and all those steam achievement thangies. got it.
Love their "quick to install", but they appear to have left out "painstaking to debug and get right".
If Epic or Steam had an ounce of entrepreneurial cleverness, they'd parlay this authentication biz into a general authurization/verification service that supported e-wallets and on-line payment systems. They've already got a captured client base of gamers, they could have the entire world. They're just not thinking big enough.
Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait for Elon to get X up and running, assuming his anti-compete clause has run out after he sold paypal....
EoS is Epic Online Services. It's the framework to support cross-platform play. So that Steam, X-Box store, and later PS5 and Xbox consoles can all play together.
