I have downloaded Epic Games Launcher for Unreal Engine 5.6 for my MacBook Pro. The download is stuck at initialization for around 3 days and will not progress at all. I have enough space for Unreal on my MacBook, so I am unsure of how to get Unreal Engine to properly download, Can someone help?

Steps to Reproduce
Download Epic Games
Open Launcher
Install Unreal Engine 5.6
Download is not starting at all.
Expected Result
That the download will start and I would be able to open Unreal Engine 5.6
Cancel the download, FULLY delete anything that has downloaded in the Unreal Engine 5.6 installation folder, then download without starter content. Apparently the starter content with this release is being finnicky.
Make sure you have minimum 2.5x the space necessary for the installation, for Pagefile usage (if mac does pagefile usage?) and unpacking.
No, that’s actually good! I mean it’s not ideal, of course, but the original problem isn’t there anymore!
82% is where the “Progress bar” hangs on any system, it’s because 82% is where it has to install a few (very) large files and it goes off of [files installed/total files] instead of [data installed/total data], so the progress bar is correct it just isn’t helpful in estimating time remaining. I’ve run into a ton of people with that issue and what I’ve told them is simply to wait, it WILL catch up as long as you didn’t do something weird during installation.
