How To Find Epic Games Install Location Mac

How

To find the location of a game installed through Ubisoft Connect: - Click on the game tile in your library. Select Properties from the menu on the left. In the Local files section, press Open folder. However, there is a workaround that may detect previously downloaded games: Open the Epic Games Launcher. Go to your Library. Begin downloading the game you already have on your hard drive.

Hey all,

There's still some internal discussion about making this a Launcher feature. There is a workaround you can use, however, that uses a Symlink. This method requires moving the /Users/Shared/UnrealEngine folder to the external drive and creating a symbolic link to the new location in the old folder. If you want to try it this way, these are the steps you can take:

How To Find Epic Games Folder

  1. Backup the UnrealEngine folder found in /Users/Shared

  2. Move the UnrealEngine folder to the drive the engine is to be installed to. This can be done with the following terminal command (without the quotation marks): “Sudo mv /Users/Shared/UnrealEngine /Destination/Location/” (Note: there is a space between the path of the folder that is being moved and the destination it is being moved to)

  3. Enter the admin password when prompted

  4. Create a symlink in the older UnrealEngine folder location and point it at the new UnrealEngine location: 'Ln –s /Destination/Location/Shared /Users/Shared/UnrealEngine'

Essentially what this does is create a shortcut in the old location (/Users/Shared/UnrealEngine) and redirects everything to the new location that you specified. When the Launcher attempts to copy/install engine files to /Users/Shared/UnrealEngine, they will be re-directed to that new location as well.
