Additional Notes

This seems to be random / I didn’t notice a pattern that causes this. Closing the session and restarting it fixes the problem. I’ll make sure to update with more info if/when I have more.

Additional details: the status remains at Loading both in UEFN and game widget on top left. You cannot start the game / use the phone tool & place devices, get weapons, etc…

FORT-971881 has been created and its status is ‘Unconfirmed’. This is now in a queue to be reproduced and confirmed.

Also running into loading issues since the recent update.

Some of my projects never fully launch and get stuck on the “Downloading” phase when waiting in the launch session lobby, and restarting UEFN and my PC does not help.

Other projects are very iffy and sometimes launch and other times get stuck. For these projects, restarting UEFN helps.

Update on this: the client seems to disconnect from the server for a bit. The status went to server disconnected (during an auto save, not sure if that’s the cause) and then back to loading session (even tho, I was already in the map)
