[Resolved]"Timed out while waiting for GPU to catch up" Packaging Cosmetics/Weapons

[DafiniDesigns]

Been able to make what I wanted in engine, and tested just fine within engine on the maps included. However, the builder is having some big issues when packaging.

I select the cosmetic or weapon for packaging, tested this with both.
It begins to package the files, but then goes on packaging more than what my blueprint uses. Stages, stage assets, and more.

It ends up taking longer than 5 minutes, and it ends up freezing the computer entirely, except the mouse. Can only recover from restarting the computer.

I found this error line as the last line showing up at the freeze, twice over:
Timed out while waiting for GPU to catch up. (0.5 s)

These are the system specs if they do help.

Hi DafiniDesigns,

How much RAM does your computer have? I don't see this listed on your specs and it may be relevant to the bug.

[DafiniDesigns]

My apologies, didn't realise that section didn't come through
Memory is roughly 12gb of ram
12288MB from Dxdiag
Occurs even with the editor being the sole program open, aside from the launcher.
I have the nVidia drivers updated to their latest, but seems to persist.

Running the processes from the main PC, as in no external drives, same with when running the Unreal Engine.

If you Open your task manager and watch the UTEditor processes while it is packaging, does there seem to be any significant increase in the amount of data that is being used before the freeze occurs or does it remain the same as before packaging?

[DafiniDesigns]

Good news, I did a fresh install of both UE4 and UT, and changed UT's directory, and its behaving at last.

Could be registry based or so, hopefully not, but guess the solution is if all else fails do a fresh install.

[EDIT]: Okay, it started happening again, but then found a reasonable fix that I feel I should have found earlier.
Remember I noted it compiled more than the files i chose to package via the Share menu?
I checked the Editor Settings, and under Packages it was stuffing in and rebuilding all the assets in the preset directories
Took them out, and it is packaging smoothly now, and works with UT itself.

Thanks for troubleshooting this one too, don't think I could have gotten to this without it.

Hi DafiniDesigns,

I'm happy to hear you found a solution. I am marking the thread as Resolved.

If you can go through the steps to fix this problem, I'm just having the same problem as yours, but I did not understand anything that you wrote for 2 reasons, the main reason is because I do not understand anything about programming and packages, and the second reason is that I do not understand any English and I'm using a translator. If you can explain to me what to do in a very simple and slow way I thank you very much. Thank you.
