### Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

UI/Tools

### Summary

Problem:  
I am unable to load any of my existing projects, they get stuck on either 36% or 10%.  
I am unable to create any new projects, they get stuck on 0%.  
I have left it load for over an hour and they never progress.  
When creating new projects, Unreal Revision Control states “Revision Control unavailable because of problem with Revision Control Server”. I am also unable to disable this as the checkbox can’t be interacted with.  
This has started this week, I suspect since the most recent update.

Things I’ve Tried:  
Restarted PC.  
Verified UEFN game files.  
Reinstalled UEFN.  
Tried opening multiple different projects.  
Disabled Windows firewall.  
Disabled Windows Defender.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Start UEFN
2. Attempt to create new project or load an existing project.

### Expected Result

UEFN to finish loading the project.

### Observed Result

Projects never load.

### Platform(s)

PC

FIXED!

Attempt these at your own risk, but it fixed this issue for me.

1. Exit UEFN and Epic Games Launcher.
2. Browse to: C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\ .net
3. Backup the “urc” folder to another location
4. Delete the “urc” original folder
5. Relaunch UEFN and everything working again.

I found the issue as everything pointed towards Unreal Revision Control being the issue, so I found the urc.exe file in C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Fortnite\FortniteGame\Binaries\Win64\

I ran that urc.exe to see what would happen and got the following message:

 ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/3/c/4/3c44f1c8600507912dabbec52b5dc41783597b03.png)

From reading that it sounded like something was corrupt in that urc folder, so deleting it and letting UEFN recreate it seemed to work.
