I wanted to try Unreal engine but after (begrudgingly) installing the epic games launch and the unreal engine my hard drive is now dead. Is this a common issue for people? It’s frustrating that just for wanting to try this engine I had some of my hardware destroyed (that hardware cost money) as well as all the other media I had stored on that drive.
So yea I just want to make this post as a warning to other prospecting game devs: do not attempt to use unreal or any epic games product unless you’re willing to buy expendable hardware specifically for that purpose. I can’t tell if epic cares about stability at all because this is just such a reckless and fundamental blunder
It’s very common to have issues, you have to understand it’s going to happen if you want to do anything with computers. Is the hard drive “destroyed” or you just don’t know how to reformat it?
hi,
hmm i had no issues at all with unreal… i use a samsung 980 ssd m2 and all is fine… maybe your drive had some issues before and the install gave it the final blow
So you are one of those people that believe in this:
Anyway You may be partially correct, there is connection between your HDD going bely up and installing Unreal. Harddrive could have that moment in life and realized its time to give up. So in the future make backups, and remember coincidence does not automagically mean cause.
Imagine you have an old pickup car, you load it with bricks every weekend then drive for hours. And some day your pickup dies full of bricks. It is fault of bricks? Yes it is, you are correct! However it does not mean that car manufacturer installed brick detectors all over your car.
1 meby you buy a fake Hard Drive from scamers
2 a 5 year old hard drive is already broken wen usesd everyday works apparently but put under stress explodes it’s called deterioration
