### Summary Hello, I’m creating a new bug report about the “Verse hot reload failed” error. Here’s a link to an already existing bug report that’s marked as “fixed” where some devs shared their experience: [Verse Hot Reload Failing - Crashes Back to Lobby - #20 by VysenaWoyka](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/verse-hot-reload-failing-crashes-back-to-lobby/2658002/20) The issue is still basically the same. After trying to push Verse changes, I have a pop up showing up on my screen saying “Verse hot reload failed” (see screenshot #1). This causes my Fortnite client to kick me back to the main Fortnite menu with the “Network Connection Lost” error (see screenshot #2). When checking the logs, there are a lot of errors but none of them seems to point at any specific resource in my project (see screenshot #3). I’m not 100% sure this is a scene graph specific issue but every time I’ve encountered it, it was on a project with Scene Graph enabled. This issue forces me to fully restart the live edit session, which is a huge time-waster. It sometimes requires me to wait 7-8 minutes (time needed to launch my project) every time I do any change (even when it’s only a single line) in my verse code. ### Please select what you are reporting on: Verse ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Stability ### Steps to Reproduce Update the verse code and click the “Push verse changes” button while a live edit session is open. (I can’t manage to constantly reproduce the issue) ### Expected Result Verse changes are pushed and the session is updated. ### Observed Result Verse hot reload fails and kicks me to the lobby ### Platform(s) PC/Windows ### Upload an image ![Verse Hot Reload failed #1.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/f/e/c/fec974b2159259750f1ef7084e60506dca705a75.png) ![Verse Hot Reload failed #2.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/c/8/4/c840ea0cffd49e2e00d56425baa7fc06a433960c.png) ![Verse Hot Reload failed #3.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/8/e/78edc3e5adec7bf35091dc8e887d19b3a55795e8.png) ### Additional Notes If you need any additional information, I’d be happy to help! ---

Replying back because it’s been a few weeks this went worse, especially on a specific project. When pushing Verse changes, I 100% have the “Verse hot reload failed” error popup showing up and an error message appearing at the bottom right of my screen (see attached), disconnecting my Fortnite client from the editor and forcing me to launch a new session (so count approximately 8 minutes for everything to load again). Attached the logs of both UEFN and FortniteGame. This is a HUGE time waster as for ANY change I do, I have to restart the whole game. Also for some reasons I ignore, when stopping the game (while in an editor session),the game freezes for a few seconds (as it normally does when ending a game, the time it “reloads” the session) then there’s an extra delay and the Fortnite session disconnects from the editor.

I have the same problem, and it’s a very critical issue in the creative process. I have to launch UEFN, launch the project, then launch the session, and if I launch the game and then stop it, everything disconnects and then I have to start all over again to re-download everything, etc. And if I’m lucky enough not to get disconnected, I just have to push verse to get this verse hot reload failed and it crashes, and it’s not just once in a while, there’s never a time when my project doesn’t crash when I do a push. ---

Do you guys also have issues with just the launch session like this: > [@When launching a session in Unreal Editor, the uploading part is extremely slow and fails most of the time.](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/when-launching-a-session-in-unreal-editor-the-uploading-part-is-extremely-slow-and-fails-most-of-the-time/2702059/4): > > I switched to Europe using VPN and it seemed to work for a bit, now today impossible to do launch session.

Our session launch is slow but we believe this is normal since we have a “heavy” project. Our issue only appears when pushing changes or when stopping the game so I don’t think this is related to your issue ---
