> Probably unrelated, but… what have you done to the engine to loose key parts of it? O_o
Yeah, I was surprised about that too. I was trying to make a Moon from a cylinder, then a plane. While making the material, I think edited/moved the default texture in my fumbling around. Probably drag-n-drop.
> Also you don’t have to un-install/re-install you can re-verify engine files from the Epic launcher. It essentially does the same thing and re-acquires/downloads whatever is missing.
Awesome! Thank you!
> As far as swarm goes after you launch the build it pops up as a process accessible through your taskbar hidden icons, and it probably would have told you what was being processed/if it was working or waiting on something.
SWEET! I looked everywhere (except there - I’m a Linux nerd, so Windows is new to me).
Below are the log messages. I think the 7 second delay at :49 was the initial problem.

Then I kicked off another build at 5:39:11, hung at Geometry (80 seconds), and then got this in the agent log:

Started Swarm Coordinator (from instructions at link above), I get the same long delay.
Exited the agent, and try again, error “Failed to Connet to Swarm”
Tried it again, and now I’m hung at “Starting up Swarm Connection” and getting the same long connection delay as Geometry.
Is there a way to turn off Swarm for my project? I’m building mobile (Oculus Quest) games, so a render farm is a luxury at the moment.
In the end, I’d rather use the tools than fight them. Looking forward to the 4.23
