Okay, so I am still having this issue. I tried redoing some things like redownloading and reinstalling the launcher, turning off firewall and antivirus and running in admin mode ect, but nothing has worked. But while I was trying random stuff I discovered that it is not specific to game engines as there are some that work. Specifically Ue4.0.2, Ue4.1.2 and Ue4.2.1.
When I randomly tried to download one of these and saw that it worked I tried all of the others and ya, just these three will clear the initialization process and begin downloading. I have tried and retried multiple times to make sure it is consistent and it is. These three engines will always download and no other engine will.
I have no idea what to make of this information. The best that I can think of is that they are probably the smallest download size so maybe it is related to slow internet? Though I do not know that for sure since it only says the size once it starts downloading. I mean i do not have the greatest internet speed but what I have is the best I can get in my area and I have no alternatives.
This feels very frustrating because this is not the first engine that I have downloaded and used on this computer with my slow internet. I have had Ue5.4, Ue5.5 and Ue5.6 and they all downloaded fine and worked great but I can’t even use them now until this is fixed because I have reinstalled the launcher and they do not work and will not initialize to be downloaded anymore for some reason. So I am stuck being unable to work and I don’t even know for sure what the problem is. Anyway I would appreciate some more help if someone is willing to look into this more, I am not sure what to do.
Thanks.
