I’ve been trying to download UE5 for 3 days now. But to no avail.
I have roughly 3 TB free (SSD), so space isn’t the issue here. My download speed is roughly 50 mpbs, so that cant be the issue either. I’ve reinstalled the Epic Games Launcher, which didn’t help either. I’m starting to lose hope.
The download graphics in Epic Games also show little to no performance beyond 45%.
I don’t know what to do anymore, and getting Epic Games to help me is extremely difficult.
Hey @MORKOFFICIAL! Welcome to the forums.
Can I ask, did you leave it to download over a long period? The files are big and complicated, and unpacking them takes a good long while. It has less to do with download speed and more to do with read/write speed and processor speed.
Try letting it stay at 45% for a few hours, DON’T cancel it!
Loading/ progress bars are an illusion. There are several hangup points with Unreal (another is about 83%) Where it is downloading then unpacking a large, singular file, and this stops the progress bar.
