Unable to launch session on specific map - Failed to request content update.

Summary

Hello,

I have been stuck with this issue for the past 5 days and have yet to find a fix, I am now completely unable to launch the map, anytime I try to launch session I get the error “Failed to request content update” (Shows as warning in output log), upon the session actually launching I am just stuck permanently in the creative hub area with “Edit Mode” in the top left.

In summary.

windows

Additional Notes

I have no idea what could be causing this.

I have tried:

  • Clearing Temp
  • Full Reinstall
  • Verify Files
  • Reseting Internet
  • Checking for firewall issues
  • Clearing Project Folders
  • Some other stuff I cant remember.

Update:
Managed to get in and after pushing changes I get the following:

hi @jokrxdd ,
you have got a UEFN Asset Validation error
>UEFNValidation: Warning: InstancedFoliageActor_0 _- 2_0

you need to run the Validation Fix as in the document

Validation and Fix-Up Tool - Asset Fix-Up

and for error

Script/Engine. BodyInstance". (ValkyrieValidator_Properties) Fix: Reset Property to Default

use this
Validation and Fix-Up Tool - Reset to default

Thank’s for reply.

Foliage shows this error when you delete project file and resync, even after running fix up I still get the same results, 100% sure it isn’t the foliage warning causing it.
