I cant access the engine download after purchasing UE4

Im having some difficulty downloading the UE4. I purchased a subscription earlier this morning, and my account is currently listed as active, but when I go to download the file I end up with an error message: “Firefox can’t find the server at launcher-service-prod06.ol.epicgames.com.” I have internet access and can reach any other site. I have tried internet explorer as well as firefox with similar results. I have access to the rest of the Unreal Engine site as well as the other support sites (gethub, answerhub, etc…). Does this sound like a temporary issue on Epic’s end, or does this sound like something on my end (firewall issues, network issues, etc…)? Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Well I have no clue why, but after mashing the download button hysterically it downloaded the installer. The installer appears to be working perfectly (UE4 is downloading as I type this). If you end up with a similar issue, the only cause I could think of was that the server was overloaded. Just wait a little while and try again and hopefully it will work.

I’m glad this resolved for you.

I will have to remember “mashing the download button hysterically” as a viable troubleshooting option. :slight_smile:

It is happening to me still.

Hi joshisalad,

Are you receiving the exact error message that PDG1 pictured above? Also, which web browser are you using?
