Rogue Company. Epic installer is stuck at 41 percent and says I will "lose my progress" if I cancel the Epic installer. They did a great job with that one.
It's one of the most confusing messages I've seen. It will cancel the installation of the game, that is true. But it's also obvious; why would anyone expect the game to be installed while the epic client is not running? However, it will not cancel the download progress. It will only cancel the installation of the game, which everyone even with an IQ of 20 would figure out is gonna happen anyway.
Next time you start the client, it will resume the download. However, because the client programmers are incompetent morons, it will resume from "0%". For example, in a 100GB download, if it's at 50% when you cancel it, the next time you start it, it will not show 50% as progress but 0%. What changed is that instead of 100GB it will now show 50GB to be downloaded.
Seeing how much other stuff the epic client gets completely wrong, it is not surprising that they would also fuck up this part.
It is mind-boggling to me how a multi-billion dollar company with a whole horde of programmers can deliver a job that is worse than what a single, competent programmer would have been able to do in like a couple weeks...
