When launching a session in Unreal Editor, the uploading part is extremely slow and fails most of the time.

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

Details:

Project size ~700MB takes 25–30 minutes to upload

Sessions fail after long wait times with random errors

Previously this same project launched 5–10x faster

Internet connection is stable (600+ Mbps upload)

Region: UAE

Platform: PC

This is clearly related to a server issue, Europe servers are working totally fine.

This is not a player support issue. It affects development workflow directly and appears to be a backend stability problem.

Another creator has already reported nearly identical behavior recently, so this may not be isolated.

I’m the author of the other post, I believe mine has been wrongly closed: UEFN Launch Session takes incredibly long all of a sudden - #5 by Bug-Reporter

This is clearly a server side issue of UEFN servers in at least Middle East.
