Hi @TomJank , sorry you’re running into this. Could you confirm if this issue is 100% reproducible each time you attempt to push verse changes, or is it non-deterministic? ---

I’m not seeing the same problem atm. It must have something to do with what you’re doing in your game I think. I have all kinds of things, no scene graph and no physics though. ---

Still happening.. And this is 100% Scene Graph related, it started to happen after adding Scene Graph to my project. ---

I started to have this issue since today, happening every time when I push Verse changes. My project also has scene graph content, which seems to be related to what already has been said in this thread. ---

Hello, I haven’t had any issue for 2 weeks I’d say BUT I’ve also started a new project and this issue wasn’t happening on all of my projects (since not all of them had scene graph enabled) so I can’t 100% confirm this is fixed for everyone. ---

Hello, I just got the “Verse Hot Reload failed” error when I tried to push Verse changes. This happened after I made some changes in a custom component (scene graph) in a verse file. It disconnected me from the game session and I got the following errors in the message log tab: ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/8/8/1/881e86455539fcb5b64148e88c6fff12dadfb104.png) ---
