Cant Package Project in SHIPPING configuration in UE5.6

[Milad.R (Milaad)]

Hi Devs
I have the same problem!
anyone found a solution for that?

I have the same issue.

I tried both the new Project Launcher and the Legacy Project Launcher, but both stop at ZenStore.

I have already tried the following without success:

DefaultEngine.ini 
[/Script/Engine.ProjectPackagingSettings]
bUseZenStore=False

[Zen.AutoLaunch]
LimitProcessLifetime=true
AllowRemoteNetworkService=true

I suspect the problem is that -zenstore is always being added to the cook command, regardless of the project settings.

Hi，buddy，@Moris0712 I may have found the reason. In (UE 5.7.+’s source code)/ https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/release/Engine/Source/Programs/AutomationTool/Gauntlet/Unreal/Automation/UE.IncrementalCookByTheBook.cs#L19 It caused that “-zenstore” alway true, and I don’t found any option can change it in editor. I don’t understand why developers would do this.

If rebuilding UE 5.6 from source is the only workaround, then I currently have no way to solve this issue.

The normal Package Project output is not suitable because the Shipping build still exposes the console and development shortcuts

@ClockworkOcean By the way, thanks for your every reply! If you have any updates or find a solution, please let me know.

Have you tried setting ‘pak files’ rather than ‘zen streaming’ in the launcher options?

[u9king]

Yes, Pak files can’t be used because of Zen. As far as I know, in UE 5.6.1, Zen is always enabled and there’s no option to disable it.

I use pak files, but then I have texture streaming off. Apart from that, I use defaults.
