Stuck in hCaptcha "failed to challenge captcha, please try again later" loop with epic-games.js about free-games-claimer

[vogler]

So you were able to manually solve the captcha via VNC and now you can't anymore?
Yea, related to #183. Only workaround is to run without docker for now. Will have to try changing/upgrading different parts of the docker image to see what helps.
You can try with an updated Ubuntu and/or a different window manager, VNC server etc.

Same here now, cant resolve captcha even via vnc

[Hamza141]

@vogler just to add another data point, I'm running this on unraid and getting captchas

[Mrgaton]

Same issue

[spcqike]

This also applies to me.

Strangely enough, the captcha was the same for all attempts.

[sero2kk]

i have the same problem with the captcha

[prot0-type]

Hi !

I have also the same issue .

Thank you for your help

[ezek1el]

Same problem here.

Seeing the same issue using Portainer on OMV with decent CPU and plently of RAM
I don't understand why the manual solves fail in the container but via different PC I can manually do it

Commented on this in #183 a week or so ago, just to link the two issues together as it could be related (and escalation) of the captcha showing.

[Albirew]

same here:

may be related to epic's headless browser detection since i don't get these captchas on my browser...
maybe trying to make browser a little more unique by adding some random JS-derived characteristics like browser language, timezone and time offset, system fonts, etc., anyway, anything you can see in panopticlick's detailed results...
edit: already discussed in #183

[iAmP1us]

same as you, i have tried many times but failed due to captcha

I run without docker and I'm getting the same thing now even after manually completing captchas successfully (Windows 11)

PS: i have no idea what this "head of the animal" captcha is supposed to be and i'm convinced its just an impossible timewaste

[iAmP1us]

Sorry, busy with work, I can try to fiddle around with the docker image over the holidays.

@JunkiEDM @iAmP1us So you both also get a catpcha without docker under Windows 11? Seems strange since there are probably more people running it on Windows. I get not captchas on macOS.

[vogler]

Yea, that's a problem with the docker image, see #183.

[Tylerjet]

Just as another +1, I am running this on a Proxmox LXC (Ubuntu 22.04) not in docker and running into the same above captcha issues.

[vogler]

Yea, seems like it's even a problem on stock Ubuntu Desktop in a VM as noted in #183 (comment).
So likely no fonts etc. but something about Playwright on Ubuntu and/or virtualization (not sure how that should be visible to the browser though).

[vogler]

@JunkiEDM @iAmP1us Are you getting captchas on non-virtualized Windows? If not, we can close this as duplicate of #183.

I can't login on epic due to captcha on my real windows too even resolving myself the captcha

[sealldeveloper]

Gday, just adding ontop I also have the captcha on Ubuntu 20.04

[vogler]

Yea, the problem seems to be with running the script on Linux in general, see #183 (comment)
