Can we launch UEFN without opening EGL?

Hey guys, is there a way to launch UEFN without opening EGL, similar to how we do with Fortnite? EGL takes a minute to load alone and I think it’s an unnecessary step.

You can create a Shortcut : image
In Library → Unreal Editor for Fortnite → … (3 dots at the right side) → Manage → Create Desktop Shortcut.

Hi all,

Just a heads up that launching this way will not update UEFN/FN if an update is available.

You’ll know that it’s not updated when you try to launch a session and get an error about version mismatch.
