Subverision doesn't work in UE 5.4

The Moment UE 5.4 came out of preview I upgraded my Project from 5.3.2 to 5.4 but during startup of the project my revision control got into a loop pumping out error massages: “Could not check for deleted file. No connection to revision control available!”, until it eventually starts.

In editor it says on the bottom right of the screen with the green checkmark that it is connected, if I hover over it, it displays the correct connection settings an all, but the moment it tries to send a request to the server it changes to server unavailable, if I try to reenter my server settings and credentials it simply says that my server is unavailable and I should check my settings and believe me I did, if I then wait a bit it strangely changes back to connected (not true).

I tried recreating this in both UE 5.3 and 5.4 in a blank project, UE 5.3 no problem but in 5.4 same thing.

At this point I really don’t know what is I haven’t tried and I would really welcome some help

We are having the same issue with “TortoiseSVN Subversion”, in UE 5.4
It’s working in windows explorer but not in the Unrel editor.
(It just says failed to connect.)
We tested this from at least 4 different geograpical locations all experiencing the same error.

The error text:
“Failed to connect to revision control. Check your settings and connection then try again.”

We’ve used Tortoise SVN for years and never knew Unreal had an editor plugin for it. :open_mouth:

We’re running into the exact same problem with the patched UE 5.4.1

Works fine on UE 5.3

Can you tell me when it will be fixed? There was no fix in UE5.4.1

Yeah, same problem here! >.< having the whole team working with the Windows explorer interface makes me very nervous, I’d much prefer it if they kept to the features and the automation available through the editor :sweat_smile:

Just throwing in as “more data” that with 5.4.2, I am able to connect to my repos, but I’m using the svn:// protocol, not https://. My repos are on local network, not external. Whether it is working correctly, we’ll see. I hope it is getting reasonably well tested…
