Summary
My UEFN project passes Verse compilation, Windows cooking, memory calculation, and UEFN Publishing Validation. However, Creator Portal blocks release creation with: Internal Error – Cooker Timeout. errors.com.epicgames.cookplugin.heartbeattimeout. This problem has been consistently occurring since version 42.20. I have tried virtually all possible troubleshooting methods: I deleted complex models, changed materials to simpler ones, changed everything I could think of, and the error still persists. Furthermore, as a test, I took a completely different project and created it as a new project from scratch – and the exact same problem appeared, with the only difference being that Verse verification gets stuck spinning infinitely.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Creator Portal
Steps to Reproduce
Open the project in UEFN 42.20.
Compile Verse successfully.
Launch a session and run memory calculation.
Create a new private version. UEFN reports “Publishing Validation: Passed, Ready to Publish,” with successful Windows cooking.
Open that same private version in Creator Portal and select Create Release.
Creator Portal fails with Internal Error – Cooker Timeout. errors.com.epicgames.cookplugin.heartbeattimeout (or in newly created test projects, Verse verification gets stuck in an infinite loop spinning).
Expected Result
The Creator Portal should successfully create a release without throwing a cookplugin.heartbeattimeout error, and Verse verification in projects should complete normally and in a timely manner instead of spinning infinitely.
Observed Result
Despite local UEFN validation passing successfully, the Creator Portal fails to create a release and throws an internal error: errors.com.epicgames.cookplugin.heartbeattimeout. Additionally, when testing with brand-new projects created from scratch, Verse verification gets stuck in an infinite spinning loop and never finishes.
