If they're not responsive, back up your data from the app and try uninstalling it and re-installing. This glitch may be a wide-spread bug solved by the developer already, and not something limited to just your interactions.įailing that, look up the application online and find a way to contact its developer. Then, check for updates (for the app first, and for macOS second). If your application fails to function properly after force quitting and re-opening, I recommend you restart your computer (which works shockingly often) before taking any other steps.

Open Activity Monitor from Applications > Utilities or by hitting Command+Shift and typing 'activity monitor'.

So, that's my sister's story about how Epic fucked her machine up. And Epic should develop it better if they want to dominate in the market (also, fuck exclusivity deals). The only way to get rid of it is to hold down the power button but I don't want to. I have tried force quitting but nothing happens and I cant open it again. I guess she might have a really bad time with EGL, and she might not want to uninstall it either, since she played some of the game that she claimed via EGL.Īs a person who knows about software development, it's really bad coding, IMO.

Just recently, around 20 minutes ago, she said that she could not be able to force quit EGL on her Mac, and only way for her to force quit it is to completely shut down her machine. Last year, after Epic giveaways free shits, she signed up to Epic Games Account and claim 'free' games, which leads to installing EGL on her machine. My sister primary use MacBook Pro 16' as her primary machine, she even installs most of Mac-compatible games on her machine, like The Sims 4.

Click the Force a Process to Quit ( X) button in the top left corner. Select the hovering process from the list. Everything that I said in this post, it is based on my sister's experience with Epic. Follow these steps to force quit apps using Activity Monitor: Open Activity Monitor from Launchpad. As a person who is in this subreddit for a while, I would like to put disclaimer to all of you, first, that I don't use Epic Games Launcher (EGL), or anything related to Epic (except Rocket League before Epic acquired).
