Hello, I need to download the original 5.1 version from GitHub. How would I do that?
Reason: 5.1.1 is crashing all my projects made in 5.1. I’m hoping to get the original 5.1 install to fix the projects somehow.
I’m hoping 5.1 is a simple click, download and install from GitHub.
Thank you in advance.
Hey there @Sean3Dmonkey! You need to sign up to be invited to the organization (via email) then this page won’t be a 404! Here’s a page with how to do that:
One more Newby question, may I ask how do I find the original 5.1 install in Github?
I did a search in the “Repositories” but no repositories matched my search.
Thank you for your help, SupportEntity.
No worries! Here’s a link to the releases tab for the project!
One last Newby question. How may I hook up the GitHub 5.1 release to the Epic Launcher?
2.There is no installer.
I’m new to UE, I’m grateful for all your help.
You’re correct, there’s no exe file, it’s got to be built from your own IDE. unfortunately previous builds have to be built from their source. I’ll drop a tutorial for that below. The launcher has predetermined builds that it takes from.

Would there happen to be an official Epic way for building from Source? If it takes a few days to get that info, I can wait. I don’t want to break anything and make my situation worse. Thank you for you honesty,
Ahhhh I had the official docs in my clipboard to go with that post. (I tend to post docs and a video because some people prefer the video). Also I do watch the videos I submit here and it is accurate (if a little odd for not downloading Visual Studio first, or using Git’s client for new users instead of terminal Git but to each their own).
This solution worked: These are the components I needed to have installed in Visual Studio 2022 Community to build from source.
When the build was over the EXE was in the download folder, because that is where I extracted the repository from GitHub.
Thank you “SupportiveEnity” for all your help. This helped me out a lot.
