### Additional Notes

I did a Fixed Validation Issue, an Update Redirector Reference, a Project Validation first and every time and i still have the same issue. I also removed the Island Settings and added a fresh one with the same settings because i had a previous bug related to that issue.

I am also getting this issue but only specifically on one map and i tried everything and cant seem to fix it. At some point it mentioned an error about localization which i found out its the language files, but even running auto localization didnt fix the issue.

Got this error a few times this morning. I hadn’t noticed the “Build Localization” checkbox on the private version upload menu before today so I assume that could be the cause. First thing I did was close everything and restart the pc. Second, I went into my project settings and disabled all of the language localization settings just to see what would happen and immediately the next memory calculation was successful.

I haven’t made use of localization or translation in the map I tested this on so I have no idea if it will affect any translated materials. You might have to duplicate your project and do some testing for that.

So i got the error also in my other project, and it was the localization for this file that gave me the error

zh-Hans/HIDEnSEEk.po

So i removed all the localization manually in my computer, redid it just for English and French, had to restart UEFN and now was able to published, will try again in my previous project.

Well, i did the exact same steps for my previous project and still got the same errors.

This is what the AI said about my issue @epic , if that helps

“UEFN publish fails with ‘Parallel upload flow is already running’ and ‘Internal error’ due to a stuck Valkyrie backend process (module ID: abe69457-42a0-27f0-302d-5db05b39a738), blocking new builds despite clean localization and project state.”

I had this problem, I reset my Native language and languages to translate to their defaults, I also disabled automatically build localization.

Thanks for the info guys ! 🙂

@Bug-Reporter Any update??? Because my previous map i still can’t upload it and even any new map i make i also can’t upload… so at that point it feels pointless to work on Fortnite maps if we can’t publish them… a bit frustrating!!!

Not sure if this fixes the issue, but a good friend suggested I verify files and I was able to update one project… Hope this helps…
