I download large files all the time for Visual Studio and other things and my modem/router works as expected. It only does this when I download from Epic Games or Steam. Then about 30 seconds later it will turn back on green and the download will continue. The internet light will turn red then go out. I have also noticed that my Centurylink modem will lose its internet connection from time to time. This is the same as turning it OFF witch seems to throttle more that turning it ON. After much fiddling I discovered that if you turn ON, that’s right turn ON download throttling and set the value to your internet bandwidth (for me 1500KBytes/s) then start your download the speed will stay very near your max. This has been going on for a while, but today was when. I uninstalled, deleted all appdata, and reinstalled, and it is still doing it.


I went through all the 'do this to troubleshoot' the launcher suggested on the Epic Games help page. Things did seem to download much faster, but after a short time it settled back into its usual pattern of widely varying downlead rates. I searched for a way to troubleshoot and all the posts I found were either unrelated, or without an actual fix. Do not delete any entries, just add this to the end.Īfter adding this I restarted the Epic Game Launcher and started my download. You can find file the ini file in: %localappdata%\EpicGamesLauncher\Saved\Config\Windows You need to add the following to your Engine.ini file. I did some research on the forums, and found a partial fix.

It would average about 1/3rd of my internet bandwidth witch on Centurylink is only 12Mbits/s / 3 = 4Mbits/s. If you are tired of it and want to uninstall it from your computer. I had noticed since I got Epic Games Launchers that the downloads seemed much slower than they should. Epic Games Launcher is an excellent platform for downloading and installing games.
