I have tried pretty much everything the past two or three days and it’s getting pathetic now. i have tried all projects installed on my pc including epic games’ projects, my own, ive tried creating new stuff all over, there is only one swarm agent process running.
well it used to work it seems to have just randomly started doing this os i doubt it would be but ill try it anyway just incase, thanks
disabled my antivirus and it still does it, same with my firewall
Antivirus software perhaps?
Could you give us the log from the editor? (Window > Developer Tools > Output Log). Maybe there is something useful, cause right now we don’t have any idea what could be the reason.
Jarek the problem has somewhat sorted itself out now. When i upgraded to 4.5, i created a new level and it works now but when i try and build lighting in the old level it still happens. the problem was with swarm it was something about that specific “Job” the level im using now has a different file but when it tries to access that other file for the old level it still happens. so its some sort of bug in swarm
Still we cannot investigate further if you don’t provide us more details. Could you give us the full path of the non-working file, the log from the Output Log and log from UnrealSwarm when running the lighting building?
Im afraid all the UE4 logs are gone but i do have one swarm log left the bit where the error occurs is here:
[Job] Accepted Job 2CBEADBC-4DA01D2A-D9D96E8A-FC3D743A

it also says throughout that it couldn’t ping the coordinator
If it is a level specific, are you doing it in your own code-project or maybe it’s content only or in some project we provide, like QAGame? Then you could send me the level and I’ll try to reproduce it.
Hi jarek i think the problem may have been to do with a bug in swarm that had a problem with a specific model. i had different project and i imported the model and it happened again, but i cannot seem to recreate the problem anymore because i deleted the asset and imported it sometime later and now it works. it may be to do with the fact that the model was one of a city and it was huge. it had millions of triangles i think and that could have caused swarm to have problems opening the job file and maybe the program logged the wrong error
