Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Stability

Summary

When performing an action in content browser (like renaming or copying an asset), the editor will freeze for several seconds, adding a lot more waiting to all actions in development. This happens with URC turned off (because that also adds to the waiting).

The freeze above starts at 4 seconds and ends at 16 seconds. UEFN is installed on an SSD drive, and this amount of waiting didn’t use to happen with previous builds of UEFN.

Steps to Reproduce

Have a complex project (70k memory in game, 50% custom assets memory), then do actions like duplicating/moving/deleting a material, or a level sequence

Expected Result

Action to happen instantly

Observed Result

Action freezes UEFN for 6 seconds

Platform(s)

PC

This is happening to me as well. I save something in the content browser, or material, or material instance, and the engine will freeze. It is saving changes but i have to wait 30 seconds to a minute between every time I save something

30 seconds is a little too much, for me now its around 2-7 seconds. Do you have Unreal Revision Control enabled? That’s what causes it for me.
