Hi All,  
I seem to have a problem with building light data in unreal engine 5.0.0 Early access 2  
when I click on build lighting it takes 10 mins to build and then when it says building light data 100%, it just freezes. the only way I can stop it from freezing is if I go to the task manager and manually kill the task, which I don’t think is healthy for my project. when I do go to task manager, I see that it is consuming 5gb of my memory.

Crash Log, I dont have any crash log, i am not too sure about any other logs

My Specs:

CPU: Intel i5 10th Gen  
GPU: Gtx 1650  
RAM: 16GB DDR4 Ram 1333Mhz
