Has anyone ever been successful moving the install directory of the Epic Game version of HITMAN 3 without having to redownload everything?  
Here’s Epic’s instructions on how to do it:

Pretty certain I’ve been 100% successful doing this with every other game I’ve moved in the past.  
HITMAN 3, on the other hand, never works. I follow the instructions exactly. After it verifies it starts at 0% to download and install everything.  
Perhaps there’s a sweet spot of how much should be downloaded past the 2-3% initial download that is suggested?

[PCGamingWiki has a guide on how to do it.](https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Store:Epic_Games_Store#Move_or_back_up_existing_game_installation)  
1% is usually enough.
