Basically the build pushed to epic had the wrong file path, so the launcher was trying to launch something that wasn't there. It happened because of a change that was made on Epic's side that wasn't noticed while the hotfix was being pushed to release.

Not their fault at all, has more to do with the speed at which we're hotfixing (and this is simplifying a lot) but think of it like you're entering a username and password to login somewhere. Then one day the username and password fields swap positions - so you fail to log in. Not the worst thing to fix once it's caught, but basically it had a cascading problem that caused the epic launcher to try and launch the wrong thing.
