UE5 - too OP to be practical/useful

So, congrats on this game-changing half-victory. UE5 is nice.

But for now that is all it is. Just nice.

I was introduced to UE a week ago and my friend and I both fell in at the transition to UE5 - having previously worked on UE4.25-7 — ultimately preferring 4.27

Not only does UE5 take inordinately long to load - making me click the launcher twice to confirm something’s happening, which then, creating a second process, makes EVERYTHING take even longer. The system is a wreck after opening 5.0

Now I hear all the elitists booing I should upgrade my PC, but really if I had specs enough to flowingly get in and out of 4.27 - why this disastrous change?
I am already giving this platform all my attention, what more can I give?
I will not be kindly coerced into upgrading an already adequate system.
That is called consumerism.

This new 5.0 is too over-juiced to be of any practical use and the best thing I have done with it so far is to remove/delete/uninstall it from the launcher completely.
Games will be made on 4.27 or bust.

Well guys, uhm, I seem to have broken the engine completely.

I cannot use it at all. Deleted and reinstalled epic launcher and both engines twice now; its taking me two hours to install 5.0, and counting…

:frowning: not happy at all.

i guess if it’s not all-round compatible, it’s not really that glorious is it
