I can't play on PC :-/

I play fall guys on mobile quite a bit but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get it to work on my laptop! The game launches into a black screen and, after a long wait, the game loads and promptly tells me it couldn't connect to my epic account. I've tried verifying my files, uninstalling and installing again, restarting my computer, login out and back into my epic account on both the desktop app and on browser, boosting with game mode, using windows 8 optimization mode, disabling fullscreen optimization and launching as admin.... nothing has worked! Will I have to give up on playing on PC? :-(
