HTTP Forbidden issue when installing/updating games and viewing info

[TobySear]

Platform

Operating system and version: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS, legendary installed through pip
Legendary version (legendary -V): legendary version "0.20.28", codename "Dark Energy (hotfix #2)"

Expected Behavior

Running commands:

• legendary install Sugar
• legendary info Sugar
• legendary install bc2c95c6ff564a16b26644f1d3ac3c55
• legendary install 47b70f27b76747cdaaff7757712b8248

Should install the supplied game or provide the game info.

Current Behavior

At present all info and install commands result in an error similar to below:
[Core] INFO: Trying to re-use existing login session... [cli] INFO: Preparing download for "Rocket League®" (Sugar)... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/legendary", line 8, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/legendary/cli.py", line 2971, in main cli.install_game(args) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/legendary/cli.py", line 931, in install_game dlm, analysis, igame = self.core.prepare_download(game=game, base_game=base_game, base_path=args.base_path, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/legendary/core.py", line 1296, in prepare_download new_manifest_data, base_urls = self.get_cdn_manifest(game, platform, disable_https=disable_https) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/legendary/core.py", line 1221, in get_cdn_manifest r.raise_for_status() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/models.py", line 940, in raise_for_status raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self) requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://download.epicgames.com/Builds/Org/[Full URL Snipped]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install legendary
2. Login to legendary with an account which has Rocket League
3. Run legendary install Sugar
4. View HTTP 403 error

Additional information

We have seen the same results on 2 machines with 3 accounts. We are able to install games fine through the epic games launcher.
Many thanks for your development and continued support of Legendary, its a great piece of software.

I see this is being resolved by PR 477: #477
Thanks for your support in getting this fixed.

Odd how EGL is fine but legendary has intermittent failure

Odd how EGL is fine but legendary has intermittent failure

Well, the EGL does the same thing that is now done in that PR: Trying all available CDNs until one works.
@derrod shared this picture on the Heroic discord earlier today showing this behavior:

So even if it wouldn't fix this issue, it's still good practice to be in-line with how the EGL works

[mark-delchev]

Is it working now because I got the same error after installing it from PyPI?

I am also getting the same error. On Fedora 36 with Kernel 5.19.

I get this error 403 on window 10 (current version of legendary.exe [0.20.28 - Dark Energy (hotfix 2)] ) too when trying to install "Vampyr".

Previously today i was trying to install the current epic store freebie , "Hundred Days Winemaking Simulator" and got the same error, but it worked a dozen of minutes later. But for Vampyr (Nautilus is the game name code for it) it's still no go at all.

C:\Legendary\legendary.exe install Nautilus

EDIT : i gave a try with the latest Heroic Launcher, that currently include the fixes from that PR ( #477 ) that will be in for the next version of Legendary and it worked without problems. So it seems this is fixed for the next version of Legendary

[nutterthanos]

launcher-public-service api is spiting out broken signature's for downloadx.epicgames.com cdn unless like amazon/epic broke something elsewhere 🤷

[derrod]

Fixed by 0eec847 in 0.20.29.

Nice, now it works
