Hi @brs-sebascova ,
Thank you for taking your time and leaving a reply. It is helpful up to a extent. I had disabled Zen Auto launch long ago and I was starting it manually, since engine was refusing to start it by its own and making me nuts! then came the issue of not being able to connect randomly. which in middle of work the editor would suddenly crash and exit with error saying something regarding not being able to reach zen.
I work with PCs (windows) for very long time and I almost immediately recognize when someone is asking you to delete or add something to registry or asking you to change folder permissions that has nothing to do with fixing the issue. unfortunately I can’t warn every time I see one of these suggestions since there are a lot of them.
Most people just like me, don’t care what was the root cause of the issue and just want it to go away so they can continue what they were doing, until comes a point that they cannot take it anymore. Unfortunately Unreal documents don’t help much either. This is all I could find regarding how to setup local cache instead of zen LocalDerivedDataCache which is just 3 lines!
Thanks again for your help and valuable comment that I forgot to mention in my solution:
If engine try to start zen and cannot, it still will crash.
