How can I double check? I mean, it was working fine and then all of the sudden it started doing this. I will mention the ONLY thing I did between builds was add a c++ class with some basic code that I made into a blueprint node when this started happening- BUT I deleted all of that and reverted back to how it was before and even tried the backup project.
One other thing is I installed a plugin from marketplace when everything was working fine, but found that when that plugin was enabled, it would get stuck here. When I disabled it, it would package right up in about two minutes. So I disabled it and made the c++ class I mentioned and then found it was getting stuck in that same place no matter what now. Not sure if any of this is relevant or not but…
