I tried updating the stealth plugin in https://github.com/claabs/epicgames-freegames-node/commit/e61c1899206eb6c3fe7d7e4544d9483ada153e0d, but it doesn’t seem to help. I imagine hCaptcha is somehow detecting that this is being automated (either via request signatures or patterns) and rejecting it.

I had imagined this would happen eventually, which is why the captcha solving portal exists.

It is just a warning and not a hard error, so as long as you solve the captcha manually, it should retain the login session for around 30 or more days.

Would integrating the puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha be worth it? Despite the name it can also solve hcaptcha. It uses a paid captcha solving service though.

Captcha solving services won’t work due to Epic’s Talon service that wraps the captcha.
