Epic Games install time

[Enzo1001]

Hi guys, 

im downloading and installing gta v from the epic games store to an external hard drive. The eHDD has usb 2.0 and im only getting write speeds at the insatll of 33 mb/s if any because sometimes it simply is 0b/s and then it suddenly jumps to 33mbp/s. i have a sata 1 drive too where i could install it. Should i use the sata1 internal drive? Also how can i fix that jumping/make installing faster? My eHDD is a Seagate free agent desktop

hmmm...I run i to this issue all of the time with steam. closing and restarting usually works for me. Verify you have enough space or try another drive.

i think it did but i saw that the download went from 0b/s to 120kb/s for a few seconds but it says install

Sorry...I edited my prior post before realizing you had replied...

 

Try another drive, if possible.

@steelo it was a drive that was freshly pluged in and was never shut down nor restarted so it probabay needed that to work proparly
