Here are my Laptop Specs:-
macOS High Sierra V10.13 MacBook Pro (Retina, 13 inch, early 2015)
Processor 2.7GHz intel core i5
Memory 8GB 1867 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris 6100 1536 MB

Same issue here. I tried the version 4.18.1 as well, but this time it takes forever to “compile shaders” and uses all my CPU.

Using: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)), 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 (4 cores), 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2 GB, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB.

Given the download size is so big, I am hesitating now to download any other version of Unreal Engine 4.

I have the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?

4

I’ve switched to Unity3D. I didn’t want to, but I had no choice…

5

Same issue here.
Since I upgraded to 4.18, I cannot open the Unreal Editor for 4.7, 4.8. 4.9. 4.10.
However, I can open the Unreal editor for 4.16, 4.17, 4.18
I haven’t tried the intermediate versions yet… but something has changed with 4.18
