Problem with Swarm Agent

[Leziath]

Hello all,
I'm experiencing a strange problem when trying to build lighting in that Swarm Agent is repeatedly throwing out an error and then sleeping for a few seconds, causing UDK to hang.

22:21:53: [ERROR] Channel already registered, suggesting another SwarmAgent or client is running.
22:21:53: [ERROR] If you feel this is in error, check your running process list for additional copies of
22:21:53: [ERROR] SwarmAgent or UnrealLightmass (or other client) and consider killing them.
22:21:53: [ERROR] Sleeping for a few seconds and trying again...

This repeats, and occurs even if I start Swarm Agent without UDK. I have, of course, checked my process list and there is no other copy of SwarmAgent or UnrealLightmass. I've found a number of posts with the same problem on the forums, but none with a solution. Has no-one solved this?

Does this just happen with a special map or always?

[Leziath]

Always, even if I start Swarm without starting UDK at all.

1. open udk with admin rights
2. Klick onto build all
3. Just wait and dont do anything (dont open up other programs,....)
4. When it fails, post us the whole log of the swarm and probably also the one from the engine

Other solutions:

- reinstall UDK
- install the newest version of UDK
- delete all meshes and try to rebuild it again -> make sure that you have made a copy of your maps somewhere

I don't think this is going to be any help, though. I am on the latest version of UDK, and this log is from building the default blank map.

Very strange...... I recommend you to just reinstall udk
