Epic Games Launcher not downloading 64 bit version

Experienced computer user. Spent most of last night researching this issue and running DWalker, reinstalling VCredist,etc. I believe I have read almost every post out there on this subject but just not getting anywhere. Sent a message to Epic Games from my account but just get an auto response, so I thought to give this forum a test. I can see from past postings that there are some great folks out there trying to help others. I have the DWalker log file link text attached if anyone would care to look at it. From what I can see, some missing dlls are for Win8 or Win10 and are just being ignored. My system is Win7 64 bit and the launcher is only installing a 32 bit version. Looking at the directories, there is no Win64 folder in the Binaries subfolder. The error that pops is the infamous 0xc000007b.

Just signed up an Epic account yesterday and would really like to try out UE4. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Additional info: Running the Epic Games Launcher with different debuggers shows the application loading dll’s from the SysWOW64 folder until it gets to D3DCOMPILER_43.dll and then it terminates with the 0xC000007b error message. I can see that the DirectXRedist subfolder in the Epic Games folder contains June 2010 versions of the dll. This install technique is not boosting my confidence. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, 26 people have looked at this. I wish 0xDEADBEEF was around. His answers on this subject got me this far in troubleshooting the problem.

I’m just trying to get epic games 64 bit

I have the same problem

Same here too

So I had the flickering issue, tried to search for help and ended up stuck at finding the 64 bit version same as you, here’s my solution, not sure if it’s gonna work on your side.
Right click on the Epic Game Launcher, if it’s have an option “Run with Graphic processor”, choose Integrated graphic instead of NVIDIA, NVIDIA is the cause of the flickering.
That’s all, after that mine works like a charm.
Hope this help …it’s quite a while since you ask now.

I have the same problem

Ok, i found a solution for those they have the followed issue : Launcher not launching --’ and missing binaries (Win64) you have to go to Epic Games/Launcher/Portal/Binaries
Copy and Past the Win32 folder, rename it into Win64 go in this new folder, run EpicGamesLauncher.exe as administrator, he will launch and do an update and create you the Win64 binaries folder in Engine path, here you go, you now have an Epic Games Launcher working, you’re welcome :slight_smile:
