Do I have to download visual studio community 2017?
upon trying to make my first game on unreal engine 4 using c++ it asked me to download visual studio 2017.
3.44 GB is a lot for me and id be happy if I can go around this or get an easier alternatives.
Yes, you need it. But if you select only the option for “game with C++” (or something like that) it might be a smaller install.
