Editor stuck at 36%.. Won't load any further since new update

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Other

Summary

Since yesterdays update, opening, well trying to open, any kind of project, the editor just remains on 36% ( this is for all the islands that already have work on them ) any new island that i try to open just remains on 95%. Anyone else having this issue, my teammate has the same issue, only he actually ends up crashing. Both are on EU servers.

Before i go down the route to reinstall everything ( takes way to much time ) perhaps this is known for EU servers atm ( if that is even applicable? )

Steps to Reproduce

Have the editor load up any kind of project without getting stuck

Expected Result

Expected result would be that if the editor loads up normally, people can continue to do their work

Observed Result

Have the editor work normally

Platform(s)

pc

Additional Notes

As said above, since yesterdays update the editor remains on 36% loading and will not go any further ( not even after hours waiting )

I am experiencing a similar issue. When I open a project with Unreal Revision enabled, Windows Defender shows a virus warning, and the process stops at 36%. However, projects open normally when Unreal Revision is disabled.

That is interesting! Unfortunately, windows defender with me is turned off, because i use a different type of protection. However, in the background this actually still might be blocking something. So i am going to have a look in to this. So far i have been starting at 36% for over a hour now.

So far, no matter what i try differently in the settings, it does not make a difference. If it is not Fab content that revision control is messing up, then it is something like this. So what do you do then? You open up your project with revision control disabled? And then once loaded, you enable it again?

It was a risky move, but I temporarily disabled Windows Defender, opened the project, and then turned off Unreal Revision. After turning off Unreal Revision, I was able to open the project even with Windows Defender enabled.

I just tested other projects linked to different Unreal revisions, and they are opening fine now. Just five hours ago, all projects linked to the Unreal revision were getting stuck at 36%, but now they are opening smoothly. It seems to be a different issue. Iā€™m sorry for not being helpful.

No worries, i have tried everything on my side with defender etc. But it is still stuck at 36%. At least it is working for you now. I will give it one more day to see if this fixes itself. Otherwise i will complain a bit more.
