Editor freezes every few seconds

Development Programming & Scripting
1

The editor seems to be freezing every few seconds, for 1-2 seconds, and then works fine again for a few seconds, this keeps happening and it makes it very difficult to navigate and operate anything within the editor.

Hardware specs:

  • CPU: i7 extreme 990X
  • RAM: 48GB
  • MOBO: ASUS ROG Rampage III Black edition
  • GFX: HD Radeon 6990 (x2 running in crossfire)

I do not suspect it to be a hardware issue, due to me exceeding the minimum specifications.

My drivers are also up to date.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Possible crossfire issue?

I will try disable it and see if that fixes the issue.

Disabling crossfire sadly did nothing, I’m still getting the 1-2 second freeze every few seconds.

You could try limiting the editor refresh by using ‘t.MaxFPS 60’ in the little command window on the top right of the editor.

Check this thread:

Maybe that solution helps you.

This sadly also didn’t help me, thank you for the effort though, I really appreciate it!

I will try this out, and get back with the results (as a last resort I’m re installing UE4 and i’m in the middle of downloading everything again…)

This worked for me! But I had to remove the entire android development suite.

Thanks for your time!

You are the hero my laptop needs.

Mine was also Environment variables, but it was Ogre3D (shhhhh!) and Boost library paths that caused mine.

I was just having the exact same issue. I actually solved it by removing some particle spawns that I had in the construction script of some blueprints. Before I was spawning the particle in the construction script and then toggling the visibility when the player entered a trigger box. Now particles just spawn and destroy on the trigger box instead and editor runs smoothly again with no hitches.

Hey, so there was this weird network error that kept appearing in my Output Log every few seconds, even without the project running. I ignored it for awhile, but then put 2 and 2 together and realized it could be the source for my editor freezing every 2 seconds. :person_facepalming:

Still have no idea what it meant, but anyone still having trouble should check the comment on this forum here - it instantly solved my issue. :+1:
