check out my website gamescentens.com to find out what the best Pros player in fortnite valorent and CS go I'll leave a link in the description below now let me showcase how to increase your download speed within the epic games launcher alright so first things first on your desktop press the Windows key and R at the same time inside of here type in percentage sign Local app data and then percentage sign again just like so inside the local folder you want to find the epic games launcher which is right there epic games launcher open up that and you want to go on to save then you want to go into config then you want to go into windows and then inside the engine config file right here you want to go ahead right click on that edit or just double click on it and then this should open up the engine file now yours might be empty or it may have text symbol to mine right here what you want to do is delete that and paste in this Command right here that I'll have in the description below just copy and paste both of these in just like so make sure the format is the exact same then press on file press on Save and then an alternative thing you can do is actually right click on the engine file itself click on properties and then you can go ahead and take the read-only box and that will basically make it so it can't be changed however this is optional you can do it if you want you don't have to but I myself don't need to as it's not changing When I close or reopen the epic games launcher next up what you want to do is go over to your desktop again and press Ctrl alt delete and you want to click on task manager then inside of task manager under the details tab right here you want to go ahead and find the epic games launcher by just pressing the E you can see mine's right there you want to right click on that set priority and you want to change it from the default normal to high It'll ask if you want to change the priority just click change priority and that right there will set your epic games launcher to high priority from the default normal one which should help out a turn next you want to open up the epic games launcher you want to click on your profile of top right hand corner then go into settings inside of settings you want to scroll down and make sure that this option right here throttle downloads is unchecked because epic games say that this set and provides people who have limited bandwidth with the opportunity to perform installs and updates over a longer time period without having to consume all of their bandwidth which basically means that you can set a top speed so it doesn't hog up all your bandwidth so you can do other stuff while you're downloading but for most of you out there you do not want to have this set and turned on but if you do have it unchecked your speed should be a lot faster next you want to head over to the Windows desktop you want to right click at the bottom left corner under the start menu and you want to click on the network connection options right here this should open up your network connection settings under where it says Advanced network settings you want to click on the first option which is change adapter options and inside of here you should find your main internet connection which mine is the ethernet go ahead and right click on that click on properties and then inside of here under where it says ipv4 click on that and then click on properties then at the bottom here if you select use the following DNS server address so you can connect to a DNS server which I recommend using either Google's DNS or cloudflare's DNS which both of them are on screen right here you can see that I've chose the Google one which is 888 and then 8844 just go ahead press OK press close and you are all good to go for that the reason why you want to do this is because a slower DNS server can slow down game downloads or game updates using a custom one like the ones I've literally just mentioned on screen right here these are not actually hosted by your ISP so the download speeds that you get using these can be a lot quicker so I'll go ahead and give it a go and by the way this is recommended by epic games themselves as you can see on screen switching your DNS can result in better connectivity and performance for your internet connection and they themselves even recommend Google's DNS server or Cloud first DNS server next you want to go over to your desktop you want to go to the bottom left where the start icon is you want to right click on it click on Device Manager this will then open up your device manager and under where it says network adapters click on that it should drop it down and inside of here you want to find your main internet connection which mine is the ethernet connection in what you want to do here is right click on it and click on update driver you'll then get asked how you want to search for your drivers and I recommend clicking on the search automatically for new updated drivers and as you can see for myself I have got the latest one installed and you yourself want to check if you've got the latest one installed if you don't it should pop up on this screen somewhere and allow you to download it easily and get it installed next on your desktop you want to go over to the start menu and type in uninstall just in there an option that says add or remove programs should appear click on that and then inside of this you want to go ahead and type in epic games what you can actually do is uninstall the epic games launcher and reinstall it to fix any issues you may have like for example if you think that your download speeds are a lot slower than they should be and you think that something might be bugged or wrong with the software just go ahead and uninstall it after that you can easily just go onto Google and search in the epic games launcher and then just go ahead and download it with ease again and just reinstall it basically moving on to the last thing be sure to check out the epic game service status page which is on screen right here I'll have a link in the description below as this is where you can check if all the systems on the Epic games's end are operational which as you can see most of them are right now you can tell usually by saying operational and the green if there's a lot of um red or orange going on that means they definitely have an issues but right now they're having like a slight issue with the developer portal which has nothing to do with anything else and all the other servers are operational but the reason for why I'm even recommending to check this is to make sure that the issue you're experiencing is on Epic games's end and is not on your end you'll be able to see easily by just heading over to this website for fortnite epic game store or the online services and that's how you can obviously find out if it's on your end or if it's on their end but overall I hope that this video helped you guys
