Every time I want to package my game my whole pc freezes

Hey,
Every time I package my project into a game, it freezes my whole Pc. I think Its got something to do with the “compiling shaders”, And yes I have tried to build my lighting, but it also freezes my pc If I build my lightning. Yes, I’ve checked with new empty projects if it does the same thing but it doesn’t, and I want to know if there’s a way to not freeze my pc, because this project Is very important to me

It could well be compiling shaders. The way to tell is open windows task manager, and expand the unreal editor part. You will see 'shader worker’s there.

It could easily take 20 mins to several hours depending on the spec of your machine.

If you package using the project launcher

at least you get to see what’s going on. But you do have to configure it first

If your shaderCompiler is freezing you have one of the following problems:

  • Video card drivers issues or they are very old.
  • one of your memory banks may be busted.
  • Your engine or project may be corrupted.
  • Low disk space.
  • Your DirectX dlls may need update.

Those are a few from the top of my head .
Good luck.
