Having to go into a wait state to get at assets you paid for, to get to things that are NOT related to actual game play is just NOT kosha at all in any shape of the word game play should NOT effect other use. specially when people WILL miss scales discounts or fine it hard to do business because somebody else is playing a game

We just got Unreal Engine installed here at work, and are completely baffled by having to wait 8 minutes in some sort of queue in order to start working.
I mean, it's also weird to have to launch Steam in a work environment (for VR support), but coming from Unity, does this mean that if I start a new project and want to download asset updates (things bought from the marketplace), do we also have to wait?
EDIT: Just to clarify, we do not do game related development.

To be fair, I don't think Epic ever expected Fortnite to get as big as it has.

Everyone - If you already have the engine installed, you can just work offline or launch the .exe directly. If you need to install well, unfortunately you have to wait.

Although if game provide updates - yes, you need a launcher to sync your editor.
And I don't understand why you're waiting "several minutes"? Is it on crazy slow HDD?

It still would use the same ID and servers. There's no point in separating it because of very rare downtimes.

To be brutally honest, thoughtless and trivial complaints such as these are probably one of the reasons why Epic's forum presence evaporated. You're supposed to be developers, technically literate, yet you throw around claims such as "easily pull all tools into a separate launcher", as if separating the database and the login services is copy pasting a bunch of files and as if developing a new launcher just for that is a week's work, to name the least of the problems with these arguments.
Can there be improvements to the Launcher and the services? Absolutely. This whole issue is side-stepped if only it'd be possible to download marketplace assets from the browser. But some of the posts in this tread are, to put it as politely as possible, ludicrous at best.Last edited by DamirH; 02-09-2018, 05:03 PM.
