Client doesnt open on live edit (regression)

Summary

Since last update, the FN client doesnt open for me, regardless of how many times I press to open live edit. The mode is set to PC so that’s not the issue, it usually requires me to restart UEFN for it to work.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Live Edit

Steps to Reproduce

Launch live edit multiple times till it happens (try multiple projects, not 100% repro, but common enough)

Expected Result

FN client opens

Observed Result

Live edit is stuck “session loading” in UEFN and eventually stops

Platform(s)

PC

Seems this happens because FN client is stuck open in the background. To fix you need to kill it from task manager first. Restarting UEFN doesnt fix if you are in this state.
