UE4.14 editor gets stuck when trying to reach SVN displaying the following indefinitely not letting the user do anything:

repro:

1. Open UE editor with svn sync on
2. shut down your svn server
3. (re)save a versioned file

Hello j\_zeitler,

I tried reproducing this but I’m not seeing the same results. When I go to check the asset in after stopping the subversion server, I see that message for a second, and then it changes to “Checking file(s) into source control…” for ~5 seconds and then gives me an error. I’m using a local server that I set up using VisualSVN, maybe your setup being different is what is causing this? Can you expand on what kind of setup your server is using?

Hi , thanks for your response.

We’re using a dedicated SVN server (on it’s own machine). But it seems unlikely that would be the problem. Perhaps some other program running on my computer (SteamVR or TightVNC may interfere with UE or network traffic).

Unfortunately can’t try to recreate right now (other people using the server).

Perhaps you guys should consider this issue solved since the title “editor freeze when cannot reach _svn_” is no longer valid and look for similar bug reports in the future.
