Cannot locate SwarmAgent in 5.6 or systray

[BRGEzedeRocco]

HI @JanetStandeford ,
If you are using 5.6 version then it’s a known bug and should be fixed in the next update
You can try doing this:

1. First of all, go to the Epic Games Launcher and click on “Verify”
   

   

2. Then go to the folder where you have a working version of Unreal Engine installed (e.g., UE 5.4 or UE 5.5, depending on the one you have), Inside that folder, navigate to:
   Engine > Binaries > DotNET (There you should find files related to SwarmAgent.)

3. Copy the entire DotNET folder and go to the installation folder of Unreal Engine 5.6 (or the version where you’re experiencing issues)
   

   

4.Inside its structure, navigate to:
UE_5.6>Engine > Binaries

5. Right-click inside the Binaries folder and select Paste , when the message “Replace the files in the destination” pops up, ignore it and click “Skip these files” (Do not replace the existing files).
   

   

6. Open your project in Unreal Engine .
   At the top menu, click on Build and then select “Build All Levels” .
   

   

7.You should now see the expected message

You can also read that post , they were talking about that.

UE 5.6 has no swarm manager

In Unreal Engine 5.6 Preview was an issue with baking static lights because Swarm Manager wasn’t included in Binaries/DotNET. I thought it was a preview issue and expected release version to have swarm manager or remove static ligts support in favor for Lumen RTGI. But I am still able to select None for Global Illumination and still cannot bake lights: Failed to initialize Swarm. Check to make sure you have the right version of Swarm installed. Can anyone from Unreal team clarify what’s going…

Hope it helps!
