Standalone does not shut down properly

Hi,

I’ve encountered a really bad issue where my standalone windows are not shutting down properly. This prevents saving anything.

I do this:

  1. Run game in Standalone - Play as Client
  2. Make any change to any file
  3. Try to save
  4. Notice an error saying it can’t save as the game is still in Play mode

I can fix it by running in PIE or using task manager to shut to process down, or restarting the editor.

I’ve tried cleaning all of the blueprints and recompiling, I’ve checked every file for anything weird. I’ve tried verifying the installation of UE4. I’ve rebooted PC many times. Any help would be massively appreciated!

The process that doesn’t shut down is ‘UE4 Editor’ seen to run at 384.5 mb in the screenshot:

Note - running this as ‘Play Offline’ works fine. Could it be that this process is the server not shutting down?
