Can't Find update from 4.8.3 to 4.9

As title says, I simply can’t find a way to update engine. I tried redownloading installer and running that, but it returned an error " specified account already exists". There doesn’t seem to be a button anywhere in epic games launcher either.

Thank you for any assistance in matter.

Also, while i’m here, whenever I hit play on my tutorial build engine crashes but says it didn’t generate a minidump and no log can be found in crash log directory, does anyone have any idea what is happening and/or a way to resolve this issue?

same problem

well yes i did that, but thats a 5GB download, too bad you cant just update from previous one.

I can’t help you with crash, but to update Engine:

  • start Epic Launcher
  • change to Library section
  • click on Add Versions
  • select 4.9.0

wow I am actually blind, thanks for help haha, hopefully update fixes crash issue

Hi ShadowFang,

answer from below is correct, so I’m going to accept it and resolve this post.

For crash, please create a new post in Bug Reports section, and include as many details as you can. Thanks!

Hi bizilux,

These are each different builds of engine, not merely updates, so unfortunately there’s no way to convert a 4.8 build into a 4.9 build. Hotfixes, however, simply update existing build (4.8.2 to 4.8.3, for example).

I don’t seem to have ability to add versions. I have a greyed-out plus sign that does nothing when I click on it where I see “add versions” option in image. Any advice?
