Recently, I’ve run into a productivity-crippling issue where visual studio freezes and becomes completely unresponsive after compiling my code. I always get a “Visual Studio is busy” notification but it never resolves itself. To get it running again requires that I force it to shut down and reopen it, but it still always freezes after compiling. This only happens if I’ve made changes to the code and never if I compile it without having made any.
I really have no idea how to diagnose this so if anyone can help, that would be great
Edit: Compiling from the editor works and the problem only occurs when compiling from visual studio.
I didnt have that problem yet, but i would try to reinstall Visual Studio.
If that doesnt fix it u can always try contacting tech support of UE or VS.
You can also switch from VS to Rider for Unreal Engine, i find it 100 times better then VS and its free while it is still in Early Access, so definitely worth checking out (it may also not fix your problem tho)
I’ve tried Rider for Unreal and I really like it. The thing about it is, when I joined the early preview, I was given an evaluation period of one month, after which my session with it was limited to 30 minutes at a time! Obviously, that doesn’t work. So, in order to use it, JetBrains expects me to purchase a license. That seems rediculous to me for something that’s still in Early Access… Back to Visual Studio I go.
Does nobody else have that happen?
Anyway, guess I’ll go reinstall VS. Thanks for your help
I got this happening and I have updated VS2019 and stopped. It appeared again two weeks after another update from VS2019 appeared available and I had to rollback with previous backup.
It is a Visual Studio bug, otherwise it shouldnt be fixed when they updated VS2019, so I think it is nothing to do with Epic unfortunately.
