Issue loading project on UE 4.25 preview 7?

[lazerwalker]

Hi!

I'm trying to get this up and running for the first time. I'm running UE 4.25 preview 7 (preview 6 does not appear to be available for download any more through the launcher) and confirmed I'm on the HEAD of the 0.8.x branch of this repo.

When I try to open this project, UE4 stalls with the splash screen at "39% initialized". I've tried this multiple times, verifying my UE4 install, rebooting, etc, but even if I leave it for upwards of an hour it won't load the project.

I'm also able to create a new UE4 project from a template and open it in 4.25 preview 7 fine, so it's not obviously an issue with my UE4 install.

I've seen some other performance issues with my computer lately that mean I wouldn't be completely surprised if it's an issue specific to my machine, but I'm curious if this is something anyone else is seeing, if you've seen similar issues pop up, or if you have other debug advice for somebody who's new to dealing with UE4.

Thanks!

As an update, it did eventually open after ~2 hours. I'm curious if you have a sense for what the average time is for the initial sample project opening (since it presumably has to compile a bunch of expensive shaders, etc)

No such issue here. New checkout, build & first open: Takes ca 10 minutes to initialize, then a couple of minutes to compile 4000+ shaders. On second open opens instantly. If possible, try to avoid HDD and keep everything on SSD, can make a huge difference.

Yeah same. No issues here.

Cool, good to know it's my hardware :)
