(Request) Can you add the ability to disable the launcher?

I pinned the Editor to my taskbar and just launch VS and UE from there. But when I start that, the Launcher will also start. Can I disable this? What’s the point anyway? I can access the marketplace from the project browser window if I want to and the community pages are already bookmarked in my browser. Thanks.

Hey Bajee,

We’ve heard this request before and are looking into solutions (referring to THIS post). As noted in the linked post, there is not a simple workaround at this time and will provide updates when a solution becomes available.

Thanks and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Can we please have the ability to disable launcher? I am sure it is useful, but some of us find it rather distracting.

Yeah I wanted to disable when the editor launch because I wanted to work on my game not having pop all the time when open my editor. There no option for in the settings.

Browse to {UE4 install directory}/Engine/Build (create directory if it doesn’t exist) and create a blank file called PerforceBuild.txt

Should disable all “social” aspects.

@ttvd See my answer.

Hey all, I’ve added a pull request for an option in Editor Preferences to disable loading the launcher on startup. Add your voice here if you want it:
