### Summary I have waited 42 minutes for my PC to save a single item granter. It could not. I have just now placed it down for a third time to see if it will actually save this time. This season’s launch has absolutely tanked my performance. Prior to this update, loading into an edit session had normal performance, but when I tried yesterday, I was running at 10 FPS and had to change from DirectX 11 to Performance mode for it to run properly. This is not an issue with my PC, as prior to this update I could use UEFN just fine. ### Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Stability ### Steps to Reproduce Just place down an item granter, set 30 items, and click save actors. Then wait an hour and a half for it to not save. ### Expected Result The saving bar will take about 5 minutes for it to save, sometimes less. This is what happened prior to v40.00. ### Observed Result It takes over an hour and a half. The screen is stuck on the “Updating status control files” bar at 100% progress and I can’t do anything else. Opening up Task Manager says Fortnite is taking up 0,2% of my CPU’s power, but 22K MB of memory. All I can do is forcefully close UEFN through Task Manager, but then the Item granter wouldn’t save and I’d need to do it all over again. ### Platform(s) PC ---

You should vote up your bug report. The button is on the top right. I believe 3 votes are needed to move the issue forward. ---
