Unreal Engine is stuck on 18% on the initialising window OS

Hey Guys,

Just downloaded and installed Unreal Engine via the Epic Games launcher. Although i seem to have a problem when trying to open unreal. As the title suggests, upon the initialising screen, the programs seems to freeze on 18%.

Any suggestions as to what that may be? Thanks in advance.

My specs are,

High Sierra
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012)
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

Try running UE4 editor with -LOG option in command line, this will open editor with log output and you can see on what execly editor stops

I may be a little on slow side, i can’t find anywhere where i can put this command in. I just downloaded the epic launcher but when i ever i try to launch unreal, its ‘initialising’ and gets stuck on 18%, so i haven’t opened the software yet.

Usually I’ll create a shortcut to the executable, right click the shortcut and go to properties. Under properties, shortcut tab there is a target path that should end with \UE4Editor.exe". Just add -log after the path so it’s \UE4Editor.exe" -log and it will log what’s going on. At least that’s what I’m used to with UE4 dedicated servers. Sometimes the shaders take a while to build the first time opening UE4.
