The %username% is the Folder of your current User, Just copy and paste the whole string as it is in a Windows Explorer ( Win+E) Adress bar and you should see the directory. So, to fix the slow Download speed in the Epic Game Launcher you need to open this Directory: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\EpicGamesLauncher\Saved\Config\Windows\ Those changes helped to improve my download from a slow 100-500 kb/s to 450 - 600 Mbit/s. Actually it's a simple edit of a Config file to give the slow Epic Game Launcher different Timeout and retry Settings. (Spellbreak, btw.) Unfortunately even I have a 1G Line, it only dripped in with about 100-500 kb/s and would take several hours to complete.īut I rememebered that there was a fix in the past for the Epic Game Launcher having slow download speed that actually worked. Yesterday I wanted to install a Game from Epic Game Launcher in Windows.
