Unreal Engine 5 Freezes when saving packages or saving anything

I was having the same problem, very frustrating.
Easy fix: open the master material in case, disconnect anything from it, for example the Base Color node. Save. Connect it back. Save.

Try to delete the Derived Data Cache folder!
Probalty it’s contain some broken cache for shaders.
It’s often happens when you changing unreal version for project…
Or when you have materials with same names but in different folders.

Thanks! This helped

My unreal engine (5.5) crashes when I try to save landscape layers.

Gets stuck at 0% and I have to end task.

The best solution so far is to change engine version…

Yeah it was resolved for me in 5.4 or 5.5, don’t remember.

It’s the most silly fix in the world, but it helps 100% of the time… This happens while saving a material instance, the way to fix this freeze is to open the parent material (master material, and resave it).

eu sei que nĆ£o tem muito haver com seu problema, mas estou com um problema, quando inicio a UEFN aparece uma mensagem de erro ā€œAo tentar carregar o pacoteā€, alguĆ©m sabe como resolver?

hi , ver 5.6 I had the same problem.
The second time everything worked. Solution: waited 40 minutes
