You can try putting your vaultcache on removeable media and keeping it offline unless you need it and your launcher may refresh a teeny bit faster If you have a large vaultcache online it takes a while You can bypass the launcher and copy the vaultcache folder contents for that pack into your project in explorer and then when you open the project the assets will be there.

If you are just trying to load an asset pack (that u already have downloaded before) The prob is that the launcher goes through the same portal as fortnite and every other epic mmo. I, and a lot of other people, would LOVE for the launcher and website to get some kind of performance update. On the roadmap, I see a single card regarding performance, and it’s related to the Library.Īnother card regarding performance was apparently released back in December of 2020, which seems to be a while ago. Haven’t heard a positive note about the launcher from my colleagues either. I’m using multiple machines and the experience is the same. I’m working with the engine every day, so I have to open the launcher every day. Almost like no caching is being used and whatever async loading there is, it’s done in an annoying way.Īnd yes, I have the launcher installed on an M.2. Whenever you load a page, go away from it, and load the exact same page again, it has to load the entirety of the page once more. From what I understand the Launcher is a program that renders the webpage, which is also slow, so the issue isn’t only with the launcher. It seems like everyone just kinda gave up on this topic, but the Epic Games Launcher is so embarrassingly slow.
