So, like the title says, when I’m looking through pages on the UE Marketplace for assets, content packs, etc, after about 30-60 seconds, the launcher will randomly refresh back to the Marketplace homepage, forcing me to track down the asset I had been looking at again and try to finish reading what I need to before downloading or purchasing it. I grabbed a quick video of the refresh actually happening.
NOTE: I did not click anything, it just refreshed back to the homepage. Anyone have an idea as to what causes this? It’s extremely frustrating to experience when looking for new assets, especially when it’s interfering with schoolwork
Welcome back to the Unreal Engine Community Forum! I’ve had that issue happen to me when I used my old VPN. When I was on the VPN it would refresh constantly about every 30-45 seconds. Off of the VPN it never refreshed. I pulled an older post where many users went through a ton of information on the specifics of this. There was a staff member assisting as well. Take a look here Epic Launcher Needs Serious Attention!. Hopefully that can help alleviate the problem.
I’ve seen that thread and tried the VPN solution but at best, it makes the issue occur once every couple of minutes last I tried it. Maybe there’s been an update that resolved the non-VPN causes so I’ll have to try that again. We’ll see if that works.
