Once you Launch Session, you're screwed if anything goes wrong

Summary

There are a variety of reasons launching a session doesn’t succeed. Internet issue. Fortnite is in sleep mode and you didn’t notice before hitting Launch. Fortnite asked for permission to hand over the session and you didn’t see in time. When that happens, Session Loading goes forever and there’s no way to abort it. You have to close UEFN or Fortnite.
