  1. When the EPIC GAMES LAUNCHER is installed, go to the Unreal Engine Tab and from there you can install the latest version.

Here is a link to the Unreal Engine 4 documentation for installing the engine: Installing Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine Documentation

This link is to the ā€œGetting Startedā€ section: Get Started with UE4 | Unreal Engine Documentation

  1. The launcher needs an internet connection to be linked to things such as the marketplace.
    So in short, so long as you have the launcher running it will be searching for a connection.

  2. Yes an no.
    I wouldnā€™t recommend it though.
    I believe you COULD theoretically do it, thereā€™s just no point.
    If you re-format your drive all you need to do is re-install UE4 from the launcher.

You will, should, and can back-up your CUSTOM files (anything you created in UE4) as those will not stay within the launcher if the system is re-formatted.

If you need additional help feel free to ask.

If anyone has anything to add to my answers, please do so.

I just have the forums in my bookmarks. (the ones always at the top of the page.)
You have to do that if you use the Linux version. Alsoā€¦ I have one last thing to sayā€¦ VIVE LA UNREAL 4!

UDK forums:
[FONT=Arial Black]Advanced Search -> keyword ā€˜Proceduralā€™ -> [Search Titles Only] - Results sorted by most recent date

UE4 Forums
[FONT=Arial Black]Advanced Search -> keyword ā€˜Proceduralā€™ -> [Search Titles Only] - Results unsorted (random)

Been meaning to ask about the search system on the new forums and here seems as good a place as anyā€¦ I donā€™t see a way to sort the results and the random nature of hits returned is unhelpful. Is there are option somewhere Iā€™m missing, is it part of profile settings? I tried changing this but no joy:

[FONT=Arial Black]Profile Settings -> General Settings -> Thread Display Mode

EDIT:
See below RELEVANCYā€¦

Around 7GIG I think? Might be 11GIG though.

13

If there is a way to change it, I havenā€™t found it.

The one thing the UDK forums have over the UE4 forums is simple things such as this.
Maybe Iā€™m just blind and the option to change the sorting is in the settings.

Iā€™ll have a look.

Using the launcher, 4.7.6 is 11 GBs for me.

Wow that is pretty big! But worth the download wait!

Advanced Search: Date order

On the UE4 forums ā€˜Sort Results byā€™ defaults to **RELEVANCY **whereas on the UDK forums the default is DATE.

Change that field each time to sort by date. Is ascending / descending Relevancy meant to be more helpful, maybe its an oversight?..
