I am trying to get back to UE5 and it won’t launch from epic launcher, I can only launch it through a sample project I downloaded from marketplace. Is there a way to fix the epic launcher to launch UE5 from the launch button? I have 4.27 and it launches fine from the epic launcher. I have tried run as administrator.
Hey @Darkarrrow93! Welcome to the forums!
So when you say UE5 will not launch from the Epic Games Launcher, are you talking about the initial setup where you would select or create a project? Where are you trying to launch from? The top right corner of the launcher or in your library?
From the screenshot you sent, both ways will not launch. Just says “running” or “launching” and then it goes back to “launch”.
Hey @Darkarrrow93,
Hmm okay, have you tried verifying the install of UE 5.3? That might fix the issue if it is caused by any corrupted or missing files in the engine.
Hey @Darkarrrow93,
Checking in! Did verifying the files work for you?
Really sorry not to get back to you. I just moved on with my life and use the sample project each time to launch unreal engine. If I find a solution to this small problem I will post it here or when I see another person having the same problem. Thank you for trying to help!
