More detail for "A new engine version is available"

Development Getting Started & Setup

At the moment when a new version of the Unreal Engine is available the launcher will show you an orange “i” graphic and when hovered over it says:

“NEW ENGINE”
“A new engine version is available”

It would be great if it told you what version when you hovered over it.

I know the current system tells you with an “Update” button if a currently installed version has an update, but it does nothing for versions that are not installed and have an update.

Something like this should hopefully be easy:

“NEW ENGINE”
“A new engine(s) version is available: 4.11.2, 4.12.3”

Hi Punitiate,

Thats a good idea. I will enter this into the launcher teams feature requests, hopefully they will get round to implementing it sometime soon.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, always have to “add version” to see, hey, it is a new version for the beta, ok, I am not interested. Remove the new version slot.
