Trying to clone UE4 promoted branch to my local machine using HTTPS URL and GIT shell (GITHUB app times out halfway through every time but GIT shell does not -might make another post for this if you know why please tell). Anyway GIT shell gets the whole package and then this error of “filename too long” comes up posted below. I searched and found WIn 8.1 64 may have an issue with filename length error and found an update and tried to install but I am currently up to date on all updates and it said you already have this update. I was going to try to just carry on but that does not seem wise as this will be an ongoing issue and most likely the program will not work. Any ideas? Why is this just happening to me? Thanks
