No improvements, just more lags for nothing? No ability to create my own categories for owned stuff - nooooo, we just have a one big scrapyard of everything (and please don’t tell me about ‘category’ filters because they just doesn’t work ok since some sellers just didn’t attached those tags properly). Like cmon guys its getting worse and worse every next month!?! I have to wait for 20-30 sec +++ just to open my tab with library - where all my projects and things I’ve already bought. I’m using Unreal for years aswell as launcher but really this last couple of monthes launcher is REALLY REALLY SLOW. On projects that are slow to load, you can double click open a second project thats smaller and work while the other loads.

You can also open projects faster by double clicking or making a shortcut to them directly If I have downloaded it before I never need to connect to get an asset pack. I only open the launcher to add new asset packs from the marketplace or learning portal When you open it, everything is slow until it enumerates what you have in the vaultcache. You can try putting your vaultcache on removeable media and keeping it offline unless you need it and your launcher may refresh a teeny bit faster

If you have a large vaultcache online it takes a while You can bypass the launcher and copy the vaultcache folder contents for that pack into your project in explorer and then when you open the project the assets will be there. If you are just trying to load an asset pack (that u already have downloaded before) The prob is that the launcher goes through the same portal as fortnite and every other epic mmo. I, and a lot of other people, would LOVE for the launcher and website to get some kind of performance update. On the roadmap, I see a single card regarding performance, and it’s related to the Library.Īnother card regarding performance was apparently released back in December of 2020, which seems to be a while ago. Haven’t heard a positive note about the launcher from my colleagues either. I’m using multiple machines and the experience is the same. I’m working with the engine every day, so I have to open the launcher every day. Almost like no caching is being used and whatever async loading there is, it’s done in an annoying way.Īnd yes, I have the launcher installed on an M.2. Whenever you load a page, go away from it, and load the exact same page again, it has to load the entirety of the page once more. From what I understand the Launcher is a program that renders the webpage, which is also slow, so the issue isn’t only with the launcher. It seems like everyone just kinda gave up on this topic, but the Epic Games Launcher is so embarrassingly slow.
