UE5 - Android packaging always stuck at a certain package

[Aumenn2003]

Hey everyone, so I’ve tried to package both a project and the puzzle template (to test) but whenever the cooker reach a certain package (usually around 30) it spits this and remains like so forever.

Thank you !

+1, but it’s Windows10 for me. Did you manage to fix it somehow?

[Don_Lord_Ultra]

+1 also windows 10 for me. Did you solve it?

[czlowiek_kon]

Well, actually I didn’t, it just finally moved, after like 1,5h of waiting…

[Aumenn2003]

Same, I abandoned mobile development, packaging anything for mobile is a pain.

Looking at the task manager, what’s happening is that shaders are being compiled, but the output log isn’t giving that info.

Dare I necro-thread? I do. Sorry.

My question to you guys: do you think the age it takes (just took 1:45 for me, but thanks to your comment @czlowiek_kon I just left it running) is due to sucky hardware? I’m running a RTX 2060, which is lowest spec for Quest 2, really.

You guys have decent hardware? Do you think upgrading it could help? I’d be sincerely interested to find out

Hi. I had the same issue with being stuck on packages being cooked. After some digging I managed to find this response from @Vosil:

Only a single ShaderCompileWorker Process

Managed to find a work around just after posting the comment above. I don’t know if this has any knock-on effects, but it seems to be related to the “XGE Controller” plugin. As far as I’ve gathered it’s an Incredibuild powered compilation distribution plugin … but which seems to actually just prevent full utilisation of multiple cores on your CPU. So, if you’re finding that shader compilation is very slow, AND, you only see one ShaderCompileWorker.exe process being launched when shaders are c…

I’ve responded to other threads already, so check extended response there, as I cannot post the same message in multiple places ():

Hello I am having issues to package the project unreal engine 5

Hi. I had the same issue with being stuck on packages being cooked. After some digging I managed to find this response from @Vosil: https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/only-a-single-shadercompileworker-process/455973/3 I confirmed that only one ShaderCompileWorker is running. After disabling XGE Controller plugin, multiple workers were spawned and everything finished rather quickly. I think the actual issue is on the Incredibuild side, as Vosil mentioned. It might be that without the license it…

Hope this works for you!

I’ve observed that happening with horizontal HLODS, we just have to wait until it’s done. Not is for Android packaging only.

mine has not even has one shadercompileworker running, not this problem, anyone else has clues on this matter?
