Build Light function hang up EDK

[morpheus2010]

the rebuiding program will creat it self everytime,and its name always change.

when I use XP,the firewall of systerm didn't show anything and let it go.

my other firewall.show all that happen.

I use windows 7 firewall control, and everytime I build lights, it goes off warning me whether to allow UnrealLightmass or not. If I block it, the building process just continues and doesn't end. Allowing it allows the process to complete with no problems. What's odd is that it will always asks for me to do this every single time I build lights, so I have to set firewall control to allow everything while I use the UDK.

hmm i have windows 7 and it was running fine with lightmass for a while actually,
then one day i try to build the lighting with lightmass and it stops with a "critical error" and stops the swarm agent... i never had any problems with firewalls and i haven't messed with any of the binaries and programing... any ideas?


ps it works with lightmass for example map but not for my map...

Okay so i figured it out!!! (Well at least for myself)
Under your Firewall or any type of security software make sure the following are set to allowed

C:\UDK\UDK-20xx-xx\Binaries\SwarmAgent
C:\UDK\UDK-20xx-xx\Binaries\SwarmCoordinator
C:\UDK\UDK-20xx-xx\Binaries\UDK

(these are not the .exe XML Configuration Files, they are the Applications)
also make sure you set them to run as administrator.
Good luck!!!

I have the hanging problem too, what i do is kill udk when it hangs through task manager but leave swarm open, then i reopen the project file and rebuild and it works.
