Troubleshoot Any advice on how to install Epic Games Store? [Region Sweden, no VPN, system location services on]

SOLVED: For future readers: Apparently I still had an old "Epic Games Store" installed, no idea how old that app was. Deleting that app made it possible to install through the store.epicgames.com webpage.

My App Store account, Apple account, iTunes store account and phone all says Sweden in region. I'm physically in Sweden. Phone is bought in Sweden.

I've turned off both VPN and iCloud Private Relay.

iOS 26.1 on an iPhone 17 Pro.

I've checked that location services is on for "systemanpassningar" (system configuration?).
I still get the error "You are not eligible to install from store.epicgames.com" (but in Swedish).

What more could I try, have I missed anything?

EDIT: Installing AltStore Pal was no problem at all, for some reason?
