Hi,

I’m trying to install Unreal Engine, however no available versions of Epic Games launcher show up under the library tab (I’m using a Windows Machine). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,

I have also tried a fix trying to reinstall Epig Games Launcher in a different directory. I believe I saw it as one of the solutions in the forum. It didn’t work, unfortunately.

Hi there.
I had similar issue, and there are 2 ways I got it fixed.
1st: You might need to install epic online service thing.
On the main page, go to settings and it should be the first pop-up. Just press install and you should be good to go (you’ll need admin rights tho)
2nd: This one worked for me when the prevoius one didnt. I pressed on the UE5 tab and pressed the download early access option. It brought me to the library and there i selected the version i needed (4.26.2), insted of 5th version.
IDK if these will work for you, but hope it does)

If you press the plus thing on engine versions and then on the the greyed out one press the settings button and change to any version of unreal including Unreal Engine 5, hope this helped
