The installation of Unreal 5.7 always stops at 44%. I left it for day to like some sources suggested, still no progress with the installation. I have tried this download over 5+ times now. I even gave up at some point but came back to retry it again to see what happens. It’s really frustrating that just the installation can almost make one go mad
Suggestions to resolving this would be greatly appreciated. I’ve tried everything I can. I also have over 100+GB of free storage on my 1TB SSD storage, so it isn’t some space issue.
I was reviewing other posts where several people mentioned that the installation was getting stuck at a specific percentage. If you already tried the basic steps I mentioned in this post
There are two other possible solutions that worked for some people:
Pause and resume the installation
They paused the download in the Epic Games Launcher, waited a few seconds, and then resumed it. In some cases, this forced the launcher to reconnect properly and the installation continued.
Install an older version of the Epic Games Launcher (18.8.1)
Some users mentioned that the issue was related to the launcher version rather than Unreal itself. After uninstalling the current launcher and installing an older version (specifically v18.8.1), they were able to install the engine without it getting stuck again.
