    SPON [EaseUS]: Best tool to transfer Epic games without redownloading bit.ly/3MTmeQ3

      Thank you SO much. It’s such a shlep compared to Steam. I’m saddened to say but literally the only reason I keep Epic is because of the free games, because the app is stone age. Thanks for the help, chief. I got this right once and never again, I needed this.

      My thoughts exactly. Origin, Steam, Rockstar, Blizzard, and Uplay have an option in the launcher settings that allows you to either change the directory location, or move a game to a different drive. Epic Games ruins everything though, so it doesn't surprise me. They ruined rocket league's item and trading system and I've despised them ever since.

      i know right. Why is this so complicated for epic games? I can't get epic games to play far cry 5 off my external ssd even though thats the location I chose the install. I just copied it to C drive so I can play it whatever. I'll keep steam and blizzard games on the external to save space. Epic games I guess will just eat up space on my C drive.

      @@khi4645 to be honest, before steam implemented the feature it was much harder to move anything as there was metadata everywhere from the install process and I think you had to repair it manually anyway. I think at the same age steam had a "feature" where you couldn't log in once the re-captcha was enabled as the expected text and the shown text updated at different rates. Last I checked steam charged over twice as much commission than epic so its the developers and consumers that are paying for those features anyway.

    I found a shorter method:
    1. Keep a backup of the game you want to move.
    2. Go to epic launcher and uninstall the game.
    3. Start downloading and choose the new location where you wish for the game to be moved.
    4. Let it download for a few seconds and pause it.
    5. Go to the game backup and copy everything from there to the new location.
    6. Click on cancel and then resume.
    Done!
    Let it verify. It might download a few files. But it shouldn't be more than 100 MB.
    I tried with GTA V and it downloaded only 76 MB.
    Good luck

    2: rename it (GameFolder to GameFolder1 for example)
    3: open epic and hit install in the new location (where the renamed folder is already)
    4: stop the download (DON'T pause, just stop)
    5: delete the newly created folder by epic (GameFolder) and rename the old folder as it was (GameFolder1 back to GameFolder)
    6: hit Resume in epic launcher, it will go to verify instead of downloading.
    7: that's it

    @djalmada 4 роки тому +62

    Extremely confusing... The whole process is much simpler. IMHO, you just over engineered it.
    1. Start the game installation through EPIC Games Launcher to trigger the creation of the game folder on your computer.
    2. Pause the installation, open the folder where the game is being installed, copy the already downloaded game from your friend/other HDD and put it inside that same folder the installer just created
    3. Resume the download/install in EPIC Games Launcher. Now instead of seeing the message "Downloading", you will see the message "Verifying", as in, it's verifying the if the files are all correct and not corrupted.
    4. Wait for it to finish and play the game.

    Simplier way is here. There are manifest files exist for EGS Client (similarly as in the steam library). Locate it at "C:\ProgramData\Epic\EpicGamesLauncher\Data\Manifests" if you need to reinstall Windows save this whole ("C:\ProgramData\Epic") folder and move it into newly created ProgramData, then install EGS launcher, or in another order. One condition: your paths to the games need to be the same as before (or you have to edit "[GUID number].item" files to point your new games location there).

    Then plugged into external HDD onto current & moved files onto (2nd HDD on computer).
    Follow each step in the video and you'll find success.

      Basically to simply put it he just copied the game over to his new hard drive and renamed the folder to fortnite1 or anything, start the download in epic games, pause, click X to make sure it's asking to resume, delete everything inside the NEW fortnite folder and just move your game folder (fortnite1) inside and change it to just fortnite and click resume.

    Steam and Origin have the functionality to move games. Uplay you can just copy the game folder elsewhere and have it locate/verify the game in that elsewhere. Shit even the Bethesda launcher can locate/verify the moved game folder. Its embarrassing that EGL still makes this so cumbersome.

    I dont know if they changed it, but it doesnt work when renaming the folder since if you do rename it, it says Repair and you cant do anything from that point. Here is the way I did it: Copy the game files anywhere, uninstall the original ones through epic games launcher, download it, pause, stop, delete the downloaded files, copy the ones you first copied to where its downloading, resume, done

    Put it simply
    1.When you wish to shut down system keep download running and just do system shutdown
    2.To resume again start epic laucher while offline
    Connect to internet and sign in again
    Go to library and resume the download!!
