Hello,

I am running into an issue with the UE4 editor - specifically the Swarm Agent. This happens when trying to build my level or do any type of lighting build. The UE4 editor gets to “starting Swarm agent” then freezes. When I check the Swarm agent program that is running, the below error is posted to the log (repeatedly).

I have disabled my antivirus - I have also used TCP Viewer to ensure nothing is utilizing ports 8008 or 8009 (as per other users’ posts from here that had similar issues).

Also to note - this error happens with multiple levels - templates, sample levels, and my custom built level.

Please - does anyone have a solution for this? I cannot move any further forward with my design until i can properly build and test the lighting.
