What caught my attention is a high resource use, up to 10% of GPU usage when the app is running in the foreground (not even as the main window). At least the good news is that the executable downloads 30x more data than it sends. It connects with multiple IPs at launch but continues to send data (the vast majority of traffic happens at program launch). From the looks of it, the executable is be related to the built-in web browser into the launcher. The amount of data collection may be related to the region the user is connected to (different laws may apply and consent may be required). The EpicWebHelper executable connects to the following server: It is also reported that EGL sends 14x as much data as Steam and NVIDIA Experience while working in the background. This way the launcher will no longer be working in the background once users leave the game.
A good idea is to link Epic Games Launcher to GOG Galaxy, which has a built-in feature to automatically close ‘original’ launchers after the game is shut down. Ryhere and mine dropped from 52 to 44 almost instantly.Īt this moment there is no fix for this issue, however, there are workarounds. Edit, it’s gradually dropping even more, only 35 now. Ok my 2600 was idling at 46 watching youtube, i thought that’s not too bad, i exited Epic launcher and it immediately dropped to 38. Friend sends me a link to this thread, I look at my temp, 62, Close EGL, down to 42….
#Close epic game launcher without closing fortnite download#
Sat watching youtube while I download Cyberpunk (finished). Looked at mine, 5900x – 64C while just browsing youtube… closed epic games launcher, drops 20 degrees. Multiple users have shared their experience which appears to confirm what the original poster has discovered: The launcher appears to increase the CPU usage on certain threads which affects the temperature of the whole processor.ĪMD Ryzen 9 5950X when EGL is not running (left) and when it’s running (right), Source: HotHardware The application can make some Ryzen CPUs up to 20C hotter, and that’s without any game running. Those resources could have been used by the game itself. This is of course not expected behavior from the application that is only meant to maintain the library and launch games. The applications appear to continue to use CPU resources even when the application is running in the background. It appears that Epic Games Launcher is making some Ryzen processors run hotter, as reported by multiple users on Reddit and verified by Hot Hardware. Epic Games Launcher increases the temperature of AMD Ryzen CPUs, even when idle Game launcher caught making Ryzen CPUs hotter.
