When UEFN launches, I’m trying to click the Browse button to navigate to a project folder in my Documents on my PC. Whenever I click on any folder, including the ones UEFN has made, UEFN will freeze and become unresponsive.
I can browse to the other folders in File Explorer fine elsewhere. I’ve tried restarting my machine and reinstalling UEFN and it’s still causing issues.
Hi Jay - I can open the projects you see the thumbnails for when UEFN launches, and make new projects fine. However when clicking the Browse button to try and open one elsewhere the entire app will consistently freeze.
I spent some time trying to debug it last night, including a full fresh re-install of the epic launcher + UEFN and it still would not work.
It’s worth noting that file explorer works fine on my PC in all other situations, but the one within UEFN that opens up on the Browse button is the one causing UEFN to lock up as soon as I try to click anything.
Happy to provide more details / pc specs if they’ll be of help - just let me know.
I’ve rolled back to Windows 11 21H2 and the issue is still occurring.
Upon clicking the Browse button, Fortnite will stop responding as per the Task Manager screenshot. You don’t need to click anything in the file explorer window, simply click browse and give it a second or two. It’s not possible to kill the EOSOverlayRenderer processes, and the only way to exit this state is to force quit Fortnite entirely.
Right click on the Fortnite Icon in your task manager and select, “Create Dump File”. When that finishes, a dialog pops up letting you know where the file was stored. Zip that with your “UnrealEditorFortnite.log”, add it to a google drive (or whatever file service you use) and send the link to us securely. You can DM either @jay_villanueva or I with a link to your file.
