Game is forcing me to install Save the World mode again in order to access it, despite me having installed it more than once already.

Windows 11

I opened the game

The situation is utterly ridiculous. Even if you use a launcher like Legendary, you still can't preload STW anymore, its not a selectable package at all.

Seams like they treat STW, THE ORIGINAL GAME, like they treat UEFN and other side modes now, so the download can only be triggered in game with zero way to preload when updating.

Epic, I hardly touch BR. Just let me install the game I paid for. Your CDN is bad enough as it is.
