You want the files and folders from within the game folder, and not the root game folder-so as an example for me, that's the files in 'C:\Games\Epic Games\Control' that has 69 items in the root folder, including four folders.įinally, once the file copy is finished, restart the Epic Games Launcher, go to the Library, and click resume on the game.
Basically, find the game folder on the new PC where EGS started to download the files, and look for an '.egstore' folder, and then within that should be an 'Installation' folder. Now, copy the files from the original PC location (mine are in D:\Games\Epic Games, but the default is in 'C:\Program Files'), but the destination folder may vary a bit. Once the install/download process starts, let it grab the first 20MB or so and then pause it, and then exit the Epic Games Launcher. Go to your library, find the game you want to transfer from the other PC, and click the Install button. First, get the Epic Games Launcher installed on the new PC, log in, and get the confirmation email code for your account (which can sometimes take several minutes to arrive). Epic Games Launcher: This one will involve more work, but if you're familiar enough with PCs and Windows Explorer, it's possible to skip a full second (or third…) download of any game on EGS.
