I was downloading UE 4.5 in the launcher normally then suddenly a power surge occurred and abruptly restarted my computer. Now when I try to download it again, it says Unreal Engine 4.5 preview. How do I get it back to normal? ---

Well, mine’s not due to a power surge, but I’m only seeing 4.5 preview as well. I reinstalled the launcher, no luck. ---

I’m having the same issue as well. The 4.5 preview is all I see for that version. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled. I’ve wiped all of the app data as well and cleaned off any orphaned directories, with no avail. ---

Those are your standard launcher logs. Your Verbose Logs will have the word verbose contained within the text if you word search the file. Did you add that bit of code to the .ini file before restarting the launcher? ---
