Summary
Epic Games Launcher does not show any Unreal Engine versions.
The “+” button under Engine Versions is disabled, and clicking “Install Engine” does nothing.
I can download Game Animation Sample 5.8, but when I try to open it, Launcher says that no Unreal Engine installation is detected.
I already tried:
- restarting the launcher
- running it as administrator
- logging out and back into my Epic account
- restarting the PC
- downloading and launching Game Animation Sample 5.8
The issue still remains.
