You can now start the Epic Games Launcher and resume the download. Paste the following lines and save the file: %LocalAppData%\EpicGamesLauncher\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini Start by closing the Epic Games Launcher if its already running. Lets try downloading 99 chunks simultaneously. Each chunk takes a few seconds to download and since they are tiny the overall progress is insignificant.įortunately, we can reconfigure the Epic Games Launcher to download many chunks in parallel.
The default configuration tries to download one or two chunks simultaneously. I think the Epic Games Launcher downloads in tiny tiny chunks. Ultra slow downloads that average a few bytes per minute. The download speed was a miserable few bytes per second.Ī quick Internet search reveals I'm not alone with this problem. To my dismay the download made very little progress over the next eight hours.Īs a Steam user I expected the download to max out my network connection. Started the download and left the computer, expecting the game downloaded and install after a few hours.
I bought a brand new shiny game from the Epic Store.
