installation of asset stuck on "initializing"

I am also experiencing this issue. And unfortunately none of the potential fixes have worked for me.

  • I have tried signing out and then back in to the launcher
  • Uninstalling Epic Online Services
  • Running the Epic Games Store as an administrator
  • Deleting \ ExternalActors\ThirdPerson\Maps\ThirdPersonMap\D\SY\Z4CTQ4LG3YV10EKPD0UE8Q.uasset
  • Deleting the contents of the vault cache (Mine was already empty)
  • Just waiting a really long time and hoping for the best

I also did try restarting my computer at a few different points throughout these. If anyone has anything else to suggest it would be greatly appreciated.
