Hi kerkamint,
Are you still having this issue?
I was trying to install/use a console editor, and my anti-virus thought it was a trojan (maybe it was). Since then, I was encountering the same issue.
The only way I fixed it was to allow a particular .exe file through the firewall (either through Windows or Anti-Virus client).
In the directory where you've installed Outer Worlds (/TheOuterWorlds/Indiana/Binaries/Win64/), you will notice a file called "IndianaEpicGameStore-Win64-Shipping.exe".
Add this file to your firewall and the problem should be fixed.
Hope this helps.
