There is no specific instructions to download Engine source by perforce, although some docs metion it.

The web used to introduce this content is unavailable now.

AFAIK you need a custom licensing agreement with Epic to get the engine from Perforce.
Otherwise, you can obtain the source code via launcher (it’s optional there) or from GitHub :slight_smile:

Hi voiceofwolf, thanks for reaching out.

Moth_Doctor is correct, you need to be a licensee to get UE from Perforce. The docs still exist, but they are hidden unless your account is flagged as a licensee.
