I had a game idea I wanted to sketch out but clicked the update button.
Now my engine is V5.6.1 and it can’t launch/open a project at all - blank project causes d3d gpu timeout when 5.6 did not.
So how do I downgrade back to Engine v 5.6? I’m sure if I can do that I can upgrade later when it’s stable again.

In the future, you might need to update your existing projects to newer engine versions. When the time comes, use the following UE doc to follow the process:
