For anyone else who runs into this issue here is how I fixed it:
- Open the file BaseEngine.ini located at
X:\Folder\Epic Games\UE_5.4\Engine\Config
. - Search for the section labeled [Zen].
- Change the value of
AutoLaunch
fromtrue
tofalse
. - Save the file.
- Navigate to the Engine\Binaries\Win64 directory within your UE5 installation folder.
- Look for zenserver.exe and run it.
- After launching, restart your project or the entire UE5 engine.
