Ue4 stuck at 45%

Development Getting Started & Setup

Heya, i have a big problem. Let’s go to the point.

I uninstalled Unreal Engine, then i installed it again but this time when the installation finished and i try to open Ue it gets stuck at 45%, i tried everything that there is online but nothing worked.

I tried uninstalling ue and installing it again but no.
I tried downloading Microsoft Process Explorer and the process is suspended.
I tried deleting caches but no.

Thanks for your time.

Well, i just let the computer do the process the entire night and half-a-day and that didn’t work very well, i already check the firewall and everything seems to be all right. I’m going to try the third answer you give me, i’ll keep posting. Thank you.

Pd: I have an i3 7100, amd r7 360 and 12gb ram.
I think that’s enough for this.

Well, didn’t work, any suggestions?

Hey there, sorry to hear you have this problem. You have said you tried everything but since I don’t know exactly what have you tried I’m posting a list of things/solutions you could try.

  • just wait for a bit longer, I read it can take some time for the engine to load first time after installation, someone said they waited up to an hour
  • try switching off you firewall (could be something stopping/sand boxing UE4)
  • someone tried this: “I deleted some files that are in DefaultEngine data\Config\DefaultEngine I deleted r.DBuffer=False In the line of [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings] I can open it again”

If you have an older machine it’s probably just going to take a while. There’s a lot of topics about this problem but I will just wait for a while.

Please do let me know when you find a solution/cause for this. Might help other people in the future.
Good luck!

There are a lot of topics on the subject. I don’t know what to suggest next.

I’ll drop some quotes from the topics:

  • If you want to check whether the engine is actually frozen or not, right click on the windows taskbar and select Task Manager, you should see UE4Editor and 3 ShaderCompiler instances each using ~25% of your CPU % (that’s for a 4 core CPU, if you have more there will be more ShaderCompiler threads). So long as they are active, UE4 is still loading.
  • you can try deleting your DerivedDataCache, should force share recompilation (X:\User\MyDocuments\Unreal Projects…)

Looking for any other useful information, we’re getting to the bottom of this!

I take it none of the above worked… sorry I couldn’t be of more help and it’s no problem, sitting here and trying to solve some problems for people is a learning experience for me.
