Hi, I wanted to get into UE, so I downloaded the launcher. worked fine.
Then I started downloading the engine. I get an average of about 20 kB/s, it would literally take a week to complete the download. Even though speedtest.net says, that I have much faster Internet. I aborted, stared again, and it was the same. Now I am stuck at “Please Wait”.
Is there a better way to download the Engine?
Thanks
Hi Kamik!
Can you please try adding the following as an exception on your firewall, thanks.
xmpp-service-prod.ol.epicgames.com port 5222
Reply back and let me know if this helps resolve your issue.
As far as I know The Mac Firewall does not support websites as exceptions. This is how the Firewall configuration looks here.
Should I try and disable the Firewall for the time of the download?
Hi Kamik,
Yes, please. If you are able to disable or bypass it completely then try the download, that would help greatly.
It is not fixing it
I let it download for 2 days.
It eventually sped up to about 100 kB/s.
Now I’ve got it.
