hi @OleszykYt
see my past post
Revision Control Error Code 8 - General / Issues and Bug Reporting - Epic Developer Community Forums

I will try

There is a problem, I can’t change the .urc read only…
When I change it and check properties again the setting is on again, do you know what to do?

hi @OleszykYt You need to be running as Administrator.
UEFN will not install correctly from Launcher on any Windows 11 (eleven) version needs to run Elevated "Run As Administrator - General / Issues and Bug Reporting - Epic Developer Community Forums

When you start UEFN you must be running via EP GL “Run as Administrator” for everything

You cannot do anything without “Run as Administrator” for everything

You may have to uninstall UEFN and install as described above

How will this help me to make the folder not read only?

hi @OleszykYt ,
Right click Command Shell, select “Run As Administrator”
do the following

Directory of C:\Users\OwnName\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyVerseDeviceStarter.urc

28/09/2024 05:00 733,184 urc.sqlite
28/09/2024 05:00 0 urc.sqlite-journal

REM unset read only with attrib -r .
C:\Users\OwnName\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyVerseDeviceStarter.urc>attrib -r *.*

REM should now be
C:\Users\OwnName\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyVerseDeviceStarter.urc>attrib .
A I C:\Users\OwnName\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyVerseDeviceStarter.urc\urc.sqlite
A I C:\Users\OwnName\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyVerseDeviceStarter.urc\urc.sqlite-journal

C:\Users\OwnName\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyVerseDeviceStarter.urc>

C:\Users\jimgi\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyVerseDeviceStarter.urc>cd …
C:\Users\jimgi\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyVerseDeviceStarter>attrib .urc
I C:\Users\jimgi\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyVerseDeviceStarter.urc

DONT use OneDrive for your Project before FN 30.00, there was
NO warning NOT to use OneDrive

see
i can’t save anything on my map - Using OneDrive

I don’t have unreal project, I have fortnite projects…
By the way, after I do all of that and open the project nothing changes

hi @OleszykYt
Then there is nothing else to help

there is another thing that I forgot to mention, I have other account and I logged in with in to my UEFN and opened the project with 2 accounts, my account for uefn maps and main, I think it effected it, maybe you know any way how to fix that?
Also, here is how the fortnite and uefn look in my main account


It says server offline the same thing which error 8 means

Fortnite UEFN will not allow logging in of TWO accounts only URC checks when it attempts to log on.
Unfortunately UEFN does not check this but as you can see in your picture the attempted login of the second account results in a server dis connection.

If you login with UEFN/Fornite and the login start Fortnite on a mobile phone or Nintendo Fortnite the UEFN/Fortnite will be blocked. If you look at the EP GL you will get the same picture as you uploaded.

Also EPGL launch UEFN will STAY BLOCKED even when you shutdown the mobile and Nintendo.

The only way I found is to restart the PC as EPGL runs in back ground

Restart PC login to ONE account check it works.
Restart PC login to the other account on EPGL will probably work.
If you want to check this as "contact Epic Support " about changing your primary account

Well, I opened a project with my main account(not for UEFN) and it worked, I clicked on the New project on Creator Portal
