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

[nett00n]

I have a docker-compose installation on my x86_64 machine:

---
version: '3.7'
services:
  nett00n:
    networks:
      - default
    image: ghcr.io/vogler/free-games-claimer:latest
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ./data:/fgc/data
    ports:
      - 6081:6080
    command: bash -c 'node epic-games; node gog; sleep 12h'
    env_file:
      - nett00n.env
    labels:
      com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable: "true"

It was showing me hcaptcha for the last couple of weeks but i was solving it manually with no problem.

Yesterday i started to receive this error message after solving captcha no mater what:

i've already tried:

• changing the resolution of the virtual screen
• changing useragent in /fgc/epic-games.js
• deleting data/browser/nett00n/storage/default/https+++store.epicgames.com/cache
• deleting data/browser/nett00n/cache2
• starting new data directory (cannot solve hcaptcha for login process)

This also applies to me.

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

[sero2kk]

i have the same problem with the captcha

Hi !

I have also the same issue .

Thank you for your help

[ezek1el]

Same problem here.

[alexmi256]

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

[necromancyr]

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

[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.

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

Same here now, cant resolve captcha even via vnc

[vogler]

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.

[Hamza141]

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

[vogler]

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

[Mrgaton]

Same issue

[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 https://github.com/vogler/free-games-claimer/issues/183#issuecomment-1863498431. 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 https://github.com/vogler/free-games-claimer/issues/183#issuecomment-1866988403
