I have the same issue, it started in V33.00.  
It works the first time and then I get this error everytime I try to launch session for the next 16 ish hours.

Ending game also causes “editor is not connected” so I only get one test per day. Create private code also does not work for me. Does it work for you?

HI @SubtoC4CTUS ,

In the log is the line

```auto
Error: ProjectSizeRequest: : CancelFlow for f45e4138-44ec-97f3-9c76-3590108e41c5 - Content (re)cook error errors. com. epicgames. cookplugin. assetvalidationerror.

```

assetvalidationerror = asset validation error

Therefore use the  
[Validation and Fix-Up Tool | Unreal Editor for Fortnite Documentation | Epic Developer Community](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/uefn/validation-and-fix-up-tool-in-unreal-editor-for-fortnite)

Look for changed/failed assets in the logs

Also, look at this thread to determine which asset is causing the problem  
[Asset Validation Issues - Issues and Bug Reporting / UEFN Validation](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/asset-validation-issues/817504/14)

This is trying to find the project size

 ![projectSize](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/6/6/966419d8dbf989a69d84de0b9f02fd04b70c8e9b.png)

Try and use UEFN Memory calculator , before trying to log the session

I wonder if this could be the issue - when clicking build landscape I get 10000+ errors of that static mesh has null static mesh property, also how could I fix it without replacing every actor manually?

I assume this is due to that epic brought back ch 2 a month ago and updated assets, because before that season, map launched perfectly

those yellow warnings in the Build Landscape are normal and can be ignored, do a Build Landscape again and use the SHOW button on the bottom of the window to deselect the warnings, see if you get any red errors.
