The Epic Games Launcher shows "Launch Failed" with error code LS-0013 when starting Where Winds Meet, and the game never opens.
Also appears as: ls-0013, ls 0013, where winds meet launch failed ls-0013, epic games error ls-0013 where winds meet, launch failed epic games launcher
LS-0013 isn't a Where Winds Meet-specific error — it's Epic's own generic "game is unable to launch" code, documented on Epic's help center for any title on the Epic Games Store. Multiple players have hit it specifically while launching Where Winds Meet (including a report tagging @EpicGames and @WhereWindsMeet_ directly asking for help after trying Epic's own knowledge-base steps), but the cause and fix sit with the Epic Games Launcher and your local network setup, not with NetEase's servers.
What to try
- 01Flush your DNS (on Windows, open Command Prompt and run "ipconfig /flushdns") and try launching again — Epic's own LS-0013 help article lists this as the first troubleshooting step.Confirmed
- 02If that doesn't work, reinstall the Epic Games Launcher itself (not just Where Winds Meet) — Epic's help article recommends this next.Confirmed
- 03Delete the Where Winds Meet install folder and reinstall, optionally to a different drive, and check that no parental control or router blacklist is blocking the Epic Games Launcher's connection.Confirmed
