When I launch the UE4 launcher it does the syncing thing and it says no engine installed. It does not attempt to download it. I went into the library and clicked install and it said “Please Wait…” and then it went back to the install button again.

I have tried restarting the launcher. It did not work.

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear that you are having this issue. Is this your first time using the Launcher? Or have you had it working successfully before?

Also, are you behind a network proxy?

Thanks

Ok, well I fixed it by myself…

I opened my PC today and it worked, so anyone with the problem, reboot your PC.

Sorry to hear that you’re having trouble getting the latest version of UE. Can you confirm that there have been no changes to your firewall or anti-virus software since the last time you were able to download a version of UE?

Also, can you tell me what happens when you attempt to open the following URL in your web browser:

[http://download.epicgames.com/Builds/Rocket/Automated/Engine/CloudDir/UE\_4.44.4.0-2255576+++depot+UE4-Releases+4.4-Windows.manifest](http://download.epicgames.com/Builds/Rocket/Automated/Engine/CloudDir/UE_4.44.4.0-2255576+++depot+UE4-Releases+4.4-Windows.manifest)

Hi adndima,

Sorry about the delayed to respond to you! Are you still having problems? We have had a look through your logs and believe that the issue may well be caused by a proxy server that you are behind. It would seem that the proxy server may be simply blocking access to urls that begin with “download.”

Do you have control over the proxy setup? Or a network admin that can help you out if you are in the office? Any further info about your proxy that you can give may help someone advise :)… There are some websites that can tell you if you are behind a proxy, I found this one that might advise:-
