Epic Games Throttle Download Speed
Enriqueta Tehney
Behavior in s-tui: For the first 5-10 seconds, the stress-test runs just fine. Power consumption is in line with power level constraint 1. Constraint 1 is only set to a timer of 3 seconds, but it will run at this power level for about 10 seconds. Then speeds drop and power consumption drops to approx 45w on the core and stays there. Powercap-info shows that constraint 0 (long-term) is set for more than 30 seconds at 70w, so it is clearly ignoring the constraint settings.

The problem is that this feature does not get disabled when I quit the game, making the computer unusable for several hours. When I first posted this question I had to wait about 8 hours before it came back.. by itself. The only other way to get this speed back is to restart windows in any safe mode, but that is not very satisfying. I have checked battery and power parameters, they are not changed and changing them does not restore the cpu speed. I have checked the graphic card's parameters, same.
NOTE : I have an intel CPU that has the SpeedStep technology. But the normal speed is not back after reboot (as I read it does when SpeedStep reduces it), I do not see any option to enable/disable it in the BIOS, neither on the GPU desktop UI. Last time the normal speed was restored while the computer was active (see comments).
On 'Answer Tech', live Microsoft's technicians all answer the same epic crap (they all prefer blaming the manufacturer, asking the customer to return his computer (!!!!) than answering that they do not know). This one was particularly good :
Sometimes turbo boost can cause throttling or issues on poorly cooled laptops, you can disable it by setting 99% in the Balanced power profile. It will still run your CPU at it's max clock speed, yet will not use Turbo Boost. It's also a great way to have a cool and fast laptop, minus the loud fans. I do this all the time on my laptop - because plenty of apps just waste CPU cycles for no reason.
This has nothing to do with speedstep, speedstep is inmediately disabled the moment the cpu has any significant load, and it is for energy saving, not for overheating, despite entering the same low-voltage-and-frequency state.
BUT judging by your post I supose the throttling has a real reason to happen, so you should check your temperatures (you can use the free utility hwinfo64, or even throttlestop, but do not touch anything) and if they are high (i suspect they will be) phisically clean the dust before doing anything.
well i am using a hp pavalion gaming processor: i7 8750H and a gtx1050ti , moreover i also had this problem after hours of gaming my laptop onerheated and the performance got halfed ; but it is a normal problem which happens when your processor gets overheated , so not to worry in my case the performance came back after 10-15 hours ,just keep your pc shutdown it will recover fast from its problem of this speedlock ....
It's in the Epic Games launcher, Steam app, Uplay app, Battle.net app, Origin app, Rockstar app and the GOG Galaxy app. If you have Windows 10 Pro or above, you can use gpedit (group policy) to limit the download speed of the Windows Store app too (the Store doesn't have it built-in).
Finally, insert a profile name. Preferably, name it with something that reflects the download speed of the profile since that allows for easier identification when switching between profiles later on.
Do not exit the DevTools pane in the middle of a download. Doing so causes Chrome to revert to its default network profile, which prompts any ongoing downloads related to the tab to kick up to normal speed automatically.
We simply control our speed by gently adding and subtracting brake pressure with the throttle closed. We are in control. We decide how fast or slow we want to go. We want to ride at the speed that brings us joy. If we are nervous, we can add a little more pressure to bring the speed back down to where we want it.
Many things can contribute to slow download speed on the Epic Games Launcher while downloading games like Fortnite, GTA V, Rocket League, or any other games.
Another way to fix slow download speed and ensure a good internet connection is to use an Ethernet cable. A wired connection will allow you to establish a direct connection with your router, eliminating any potential wireless interference that could be affecting your ping and download speeds.
Firstly, bandwidth congestion is a frequent offender. If your network is saturated with multiple devices streaming, downloading, or running large updates concurrently, your download speed on Epic Games can be significantly impacted. To put this into context:
Secondly, the server load of Epic Games itself can throttle the download speed. When too many users are attempting to download simultaneously, especially during big game releases or sales, even a robust server can struggle, leading to an inevitable slowdown.
I recently installed T-mobile 5G Home internet intending to replace Comcast Xfinity. Installation was a breeze and I have the gateway/router setup at an ideal location in my home. I am getting download speeds on par with Comcast in my area (200-230 Mbps) . But once I logged into my work via VPN I noticed a significant downgrade in speeds. I see downloads and uploads via VPN throttled way down (1-2 Mbps) compared to without VPN. I can confirm there are no bandwidth issues when the VPN is slow, as I get very good speeds from a device that does not use VPN on the same setup.
Also I still have my Comcast setup and when I switched my wifi to use the Comcast gateway I see speeds over VPN are more than 15X of what I see with T-mobile . So it looks like T-mobile is clearly throttling VPN traffic. Everything else in the setup is the same (wifi, target device, VPN network etc). The only difference is the backend network (Comcast Vs T-mobile). I recall some mobile networks do this to prevent users from using their phones as a hotspot and log into work full time. But this is unwarranted for a 5G home internet solution.
Thanks for the update. As you note, I would expect download speeds to decrease with a VPN, but certainly not as much as you're stating. I use Mullvad VPN on my MacBook Pro, and I only see a 10% decrease in speed.
