I am also seeing the same errors. There appears to be a few places online where others are also seeing the errors. I’ve reverted to using 5.4.4 for now until there is more info. I need the engine to compile without problems and also nightly builds.

(tried the suggestion here but either I’ve applied the fix wrongly or its not working).

[AUR (en) - unreal-engine](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/unreal-engine) ( See KarthikJay comment)

**I am not at all an expert in building unreal** but I wonder if the ubasessionserver might be the issue. All the thrown errors do not have (ubs disabled) next to them.

Post here how to turn the session server off - though I’ve not yet tried this. Might try overnight.
