Launcher only installs 4.5 preview instead of release

I just re-subscribed to get the latest build of ue 4.5 ( i had installed 4.4 ) and as of now the launcher only lets me install the 4.5 preview and not the full release, at least it says so.

Is this a server problem? taking into account that in the previous release the launcher also had some problems of this kind or is there anything else we can do about it?

Same here. Launcher has no 4.5 release option, 4.5 preview only.

I installed it yesterday in the evening, and as far as I remember it was the release, but today when I was checking the installed engines in the library, it said 4.5 preview, so I wonder what got installed

Same here. Still no solution or explanation?

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the inconvenience, this issue has now been fixed. Just restart your Launcher and you can then download version 4.5.

Thanks,

TJ

edit: nevermind, restarting the launcher twice seems to have fixed the “preview” bug.
some bugs are indeed not fixed from 4.5 preview yet and promised in a future hotfix.

I deleted my 4.5 preview and then after restarting the launcher I could start downloading the 4.5 build

Hi xenlock,

The version is 4.5.1-2326478. You may need to try the fix balazon described below to fix your issue.
