Cannot build hlod nor minimap ue5.7

Development World Creation

Hi. Another thread about hlod here.

I’ve searched and couldn’t find an answer. I did notice tons of threads about hlod.

Either from editor or from command let : build will just indefinitely load. In command let logs return missing shader cache. Don’t know how to fix that.

I’m trying on a new Open World level with nothing but basic cube in it. It’s set to an hlod layer set to simplify mesh

Minimap won’t build either .

I’ve tried on two different computers.

Thank you

Also, While trying on Stack O Bot example project. Same error. Kept all the settings as they were. Logs also mention issing cached shadermap.
Here some logs.

This command seem to have worked:

“C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.7\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor.exe” ^
“C:\Users\username\Documents\Unreal Projects\StackOBot\StackOBot.uproject” ^
-run=DerivedDataCache ^
-fill ^
-projectonly ^
-targetplatform=Windows ^
-ShaderFormat=PCD3D_SM6 ^
-Unattended ^
-NullRHI

But then now it doesn’t again.
