Epic Games Launcher - Feedback [Multi-Merged Threads - Mod]

Process Order Queue

Given that some processes in Epic Games Launcher cannot happen concurrently, eg: Creating a new project while a download is completing, if additional files need to be downloaded.

This wastes a lot of time.

Epic Games Launcher - Schedule Download

Schedule Download

Given that some downloads can be large, being able to schedule the download for when I am not using my computer would help

Epic Games Launcher -Download Throttling

Epic Games Launcher downloads as fast as possible, with no ability to throttle how much it is pulling down.

It can sometimes saturate my connection and bring all other web activities to a crawl.

Epic Games Launcher - Multiple dev box update synchronize

Given that we have a lot of machines which have Unreal Engine 4 on them, when it comes time to do an update, there should be a better way to synchronize these machines without having to download multiple times.

We could probably do something with a proxy and caching it, but I would assume this is not a unique problem just to us.

Epic Games Launcher - Torrent Swarming

Given the high volume of downloads of certain updates, Engines and Unreal Tournament Create Launcher (20gb) having a built in Torrent engine within the client would help alleviate the demand on Epic’s nominated CDN (Amazon I think). Would save a lot of money and potentially once it has reached a local region to me, it would not require as much download cap.

Epic Games Launcher - Universal Search in Unreal Engine


There should be Universal Search bar in the Unreal Engine tab, just like with help bar in the learn sub-section


It has the ability to search through all sub-sections: ie Community, Learn, Marketplace, Library and sub-sub-sections ie: My Projects, Vault

So I would be able to search for something in my project straight from this bar.

Epic Games Launcher - Inbox for PM’s and thread replies should appear in here

Where icon for the currently logged in user resides in the Epic Games Launcher, there should be some notification options for both PM’s and thread replies from both the UE and UT forums.

Epic Games Launcher - Standard Windows Explorer view types - Detail / List / Thumbnail etc…

Browsing the items as thumbnails is not necessarily the most efficient way.

I’d like to be able to switch to details view and be able to sort using columns, like price, release date, updated date, star rating, supported engine etc…

Epic Games Launcher - Universal Search across all of Epic

Being able to search across all properties, regardless of whether it is within Unreal Engine, Fortnite, UT, ARK, Paragon.
The search bar would stay in the same place that it is shown in quoted image below

Epic Games Launcher - Page Up / Page Down does not work for scrolling like mousewheel

I have two buttons on mouse bound to page up and page down to allow for faster scrolling as I choose to use a smaller increment on mouse wheel.

Trying to scroll in Epic Games Launcher is hard as Page Up / Page Down does not scroll

Hi Richard,

I have merged your threads into this single one - Please try and keep all of your feedback just in one thread, otherwise it clutters the front page and we want to make sure everybody get’s their voice heard!

Thanks,
James

ooh ooh add mine!!

Why You’ve merged “Unreal Engine Editor” feedback under “Epic Games Launcher - Feedback [Multi-Merged Threads - Mod]” thread? It doesn’t make sense to me.

Mostly because I didn’t read all the threads, I just grouped all the ones I could see on the page. Fair point though, will split them.

Hi TheJamsh,

I was unaware that there was any requirement for keeping all my feeedback to a single thread.

While I can understand and appreciate why you have combined them (clutters the front page and we want to make sure everybody get’s their voice heard), by having all my ideas in a single thread the likelihood of the community actual looking at each idea diminishes due to reduce visibility.

Maybe if both my threads could be made sticky which would then allow others to provide feedback in the same thread.

Otherwise I’d rather post a single idea per day / week as a new thread would maximize visibility and therefore community feedback.

The only reason I didn’t post them progressively is that I found them in my diary from a year and a half ago.
I try not to post while working and just make a note to post later.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Why can’t i search through the marketplace in the launcher?
Why can’t i access my vault through the launcher?

i have to do both of these through the site

You can access vault
Unreal Engine -> Library
then scroll down past
Engine Versions and My Projects, then you’ll see Vault

Interesting. I assumed it wasn’t there because there is a link to the vault on the marketplace’s webpage. It makes sense to put it in the launcher too.
