Started the download and left the computer, expecting the game downloaded and install after a few hours. GUYS THIS IS JUST SPECULATION, THIS ISN'T OFFICIAL INFO, but I believe I did a good job on the research and this might be what is actually happening.I bought a brand new shiny game from the Epic Store. The light blue squares take too long to turn red, means you need MORE RAM. The dark blue bar takes too long to fill.What it means is your internet connection isn't good. What it means is your HD or ssd can't keep up with your RAM) The green bar takes too long to fill the red dots. What this means is YOUR PC IS FINE YOUR CONNECTION IS FINE, EPIC STORE SERVER IS SHIT) The most common problem is, a lot of consecutive green packages followed by a light blue one followed by red packages, what is going on is: in order to save to disk, the epic games MUST save packages in ORDER if they are not in order they WILL NOT be saved, which means that if one little package isn't available your download will stop ( Since an operation is considered kinda like a mega package no further operations or packages in other operations will be downloaded). The thing is analysing this packages is key to understanding why your download isn't going as fast as you would want to. Ok, but what does this explains why MY EPIC GAMES DOWNLOAD IS SO FUCKING SLOW? So each color means one thing: 'dark' blue means packages in a operation, light blue are requested packages, red are downloaded packages ( probably alocated to your RAM), and green are packages saved on your SSD or HD.ģ. They are what would be called packages, basically a package is a little download that a torrent usually makes, this way it can control what was downloaded and what wasn't. I believe that the answer to your problem might be right in front of our faces, the operations bar The internet says that the epic games launcher is garbage because it installs while downloading the game, this might be true but I couldn't confirm it. ( This MAY HELP you fix the problem you are having, but unfortunately I belive that most of you won't be able to fix your problems with this post).

So I was looking for an answer to this question and couldn't find it only doing some analysis of what was going on and A LOT of speculation I actually think I know WHY it's so slow.

Why epic games download so slow
