Installing U

Had the same problem. I decided to just pull out my mobile phone to do some stuff on it and after five or six minutes it finished.

Ended up struggling to fight the flight controls once in-game though, a little nudge outside the deadzone in the center makes the craft go spinning wildly even at 0.15 mouse sensitivity. Was making most fights terribly un-fun.

Hi, have you worked your way through this list, yet? https://steamcommunity.com/app/396750/discussions/0/343786746011514881/ The "Installing U" is the installation of the Unreal Engine prerequisits

I also found that after installing U my computer reboots.

We're on a platform which has thousands of games, and there are a least a dozen out there which aren't much different from this one.

So this being the case, you can't expect people to go through all that crap to get Everspace to work. This isn't the DOS era when people would configure their memory and spend 40 minutes trying to run a game.

On Steam it's much easier to just refund and buy something else, which plays more nicely with hardware and OS.

There are also people who would rather get Everspace working instead of just giving up.

I'm sorry this has impacted you so negatively that you felt the need to slandar the game on the forums.

Otherwise:

I'm curious what the system specs are to those who are having this issue.

I wonder if running this file in admin mode would help?

Apologies for necroing this... But is there a reason to have it named in such an abstruse way?

We'd love it to say "Installing Unreal Engine Prerequisits" instead, but we never found out why the name is being cut off. We're not doing anything special, just running the officiall Unreal Engine installer as part of the game install script. Looked into it for quite some time but couldn't fix it. Not sure we can, it might be related to Unreal Engine or Steam or maybe we need to set some parameter somewhere. If anyone knows, we're curious as well, because "Installing U" sounds very dodgy.
