Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

I have been unable to launch a Live Edit session on my creative island for ~6 hours now. I was actively in a live edit session, making changes and pushing those changes successfully. Then on one attempt to push changes, the editor got stuck at Initializing… 0%, eventually erroring out after a few minutes stating “Failed to update project metadata on content service”. I have not been able to launch a session since and continually get the same error message when attempting to launch. Though, I’m still able to commit changes to URC and have no issues launching and playing Fortnite separately.

I have tried:

1. Verifying game files

2. Restarting my PC

3. Logging out and back into my Epic account

4. Disabling my antivirus software

5. Deleting the .urc folder from the project

6. Disabling Windows Firewall

7. Confirming there are no issues with my internet connection

8. Launching session from another account

9. Removing the project files locally and syncing from URC

10. Launching session from another PC + account

This issue is also with this project, I have not had issues launching live edit sessions for any other projects. This project has not had any other issues up until this point after ~2 weeks of development. I have never had this issue (or anything similar) on any project until today (1.5+ years).
