Unable to Install UE 5.5.0 (5.5.4)

I’m trying to get a fresh install of 5.5.4. I uninstalled 5.5.4. In the Launcher I have only the option to install 5.5.0. This is expected. All engine versions are listed as dot-0. Others in this forum have successfully installed the current version after selecting dot-0.

However, the Launcher is unresponsive. I click on the “+” button and in the greyed-out tag, I select version 5.5.0 and click “Install”. But nothing happens. The top right yellow dropdown tab says that 5.5.0 is “Not Installed”.

I’ve even gone so far as to disable firewalls. Nothing is being blocked anyhow.

Not looking great.

The Send and Receive values occasionally spike up by a few hundred, a few thousand, or even 10s of thousands of B/sec. But they quickly fall back to nearly 0. It’s likely just background processes. My browser is busier.

After some hunting around I found the Launcher logs, with this error:

[1109/######.###:ERROR:gpu_init.cc(426)] Passthrough is not supported, GL is disabled

Updated drivers. Restarted machine. Relaunched Launcher. No error logs. Still waiting for a DL of 5.5.4.

Really, a simple UI popup would go a long way here. [Launcher Error: check logs]. Very simple.

I just tried to reinstall the Launcher. I did not uninstall first.

I am now uninstalling Epic Online Services. I don’t think this is what I want. We’ll see.

This is the solution. Install the previous version of the Launcher. V18.

Why does Epic not make these available to us? I suppose I wouldn’t be able to DL it anyway.

PSA: Test your code before you push it.
