Hi @Chronexa, I’m sorry to hear you’re facing this issue; several factors can cause it. Here are some steps you can try: These solutions were found while researching the community.

**Launch Fortnite Separately Before Starting the Session**

Some users have found that opening Fortnite manually before launching the session in UEFN helps. This way, UEFN doesn’t have to load the entire game, which can prevent it from getting stuck.

> When attempting to launch a session in UEFN, 90% of the time, Fortnite doesn’t load at all, and the editor remains stuck in a non-interactive state, with the “Session Loading…” message continuing to display in place of the “Launch Session” button. Repro’d with fresh project. No errors. No errors in logs either. The only thing that looks a little suspicious is LogHttp: Warning: Retry 1 on https://https://fortnitecontent-website-prod07.ol.epicgames.com/content/api/pages//content/api/pages/fortni…

**Verify Your Installation**

Ensure that both Fortnite and UEFN are up to date. You can do this by verifying the game files through the Epic Games Launcher.

**Check for Network Issues**

Sometimes, network timeouts can cause the session to hang. Make sure your internet connection is stable and that no firewall or antivirus is blocking UEFN or Fortnite.

**Create a New Test Island**

If the issue persists with a specific project, try creating a new test island to see if the problem occurs there as well. This can help determine if the issue is project-specific.

It loads the game like it should normally, but takes a very long time. It then puts me in the Creative Lobby area, and says Live edit is connecting, and it loads again back to the lobby saying “We Hit a Roadblock”. No issues with validation, everything checks out. It was working prior to the update …
