@TheSmashersVEVO Sorry to hear you’re hitting this - could you please zip and send your logs found at C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\UnrealEditorFortnite\Saved\Logs either here or to me directly on discord at @epic_garren?
A note for this workaround: upon your first check-in after performing it, please carefully review the changes that appear in the submit dialog and right-click–>revert any changes you do not recognize.
While regenerating the URC folder helps work around issues like this, it means the context is lost on the last snapshot you had synced, so it is easy to push forward older states of files that your collaborators have since changed, overwriting their work unless you dig for it in the snapshot history.
Thank you! For now, the workaround fix I used was to delete the project off my computer and then re-sync it, but this does cause changes to be lost. To be safe, I’m just checking in very often so if it does happen I don’t lose too much work.
