999?HP error, cant connect to session, Failed to connect to beacon

Summary

When I try to launch a session for my project in UEFN, it either fails to start at around 70% during the Connecting to Edit Session stage and displays an error, or it starts with a strange bug: my character has “999?” Health and Shield, and after about 10 seconds I get kicked to the lobby with a Network Connection Lost error.

I’m not using any VPN services, and my internet connection seems to be fine. These errors only started appearing about two days ago, even though I’ve been working on this project for almost six months.

I suspect the issue is related to my Verse code because when I reverted everything using Revision Control, the problem disappeared. However, as soon as I restored the Verse code I had written when the error first appeared, the issue came back.

It could also be related to the project files. I have a lot of images in the project, but none of them produce any errors, and as far as I can tell, I haven’t exceeded the project’s memory limit.

Also, while writing this message, I kept trying to reproduce the issue. After three attempts, the session finally launched. However, as I mentioned above, the “999?” Health and Shield bug appeared again, and I was kicked from the session shortly afterward.

Steps to Reproduce

I’m not completely sure, but it was probably caused by creating a project in UEFN and adding several fairly large Verse files that work with high-resolution images. Or maybe cause I closed Fortnite and UEFN in the same time, but im not sure.

Expected Result

The session should have launched normally without any errors.

Observed Result

When launching a session, it either fails with a “Failed to connect to beacon” error, fails during the loading process with an error, or successfully starts but loads the player with a frozen camera underneath the map along with 999? Health and Shield.
