Gather text doesnt work

When trying to gather text from the localization dashboard this window pops up and does absolutely nothing forever (except for that little looping animation of the square next to “Gather Text” and under “Task”).

i can leave it like that for hours and it never does anything. not even a hint of whats going wrong.

I tested it in a blank project and it worked fine there, so it must be a project specific issue

I have already made sure the file path of the project is not too long, and that it contains no special characters. i already made sure i have an entry under “Include path wildcards” that leads to my UI folder where all the text is.

I have absolutely no idea whats going wrong. im using unreal engine 5.4

any information on this is apreciated

Is it on local disk c or external drive ?,

Try to close any third party software that might block unreal like antivirus/firewall.

Its in a folder thats directly under C:\

How would i go about knowing which software can block unreal and which cant? is it just windows defender and firewall?-

The issue might be coming elsewhere then, does the gather text issue happen on another fresh project too ?

it does not, ive even tried enabling plugins i have enabled in the project where it doesnt work, but it still works on that new project. i have no idea what else could be making a difference

Go to C:\Program Files \Epic Games\ 5.4 \Engine\ Plugins

and delete the megascans folder, that worked for me
