Sorry for being absent for so long. I don't know if anyone else is still having the same issue but I forgot to mention that I got the game from Epic Games store and I am using Windows so I'm not sure how to fix this on Gamepass or any other platform. I suppose the fix, in essence, boils down to the "special folders" .xml file that is found in the folder where you pre-game editor is installed. I don't know if SI patched it or not but if they did and if the path in the xml file is correct you need to also make sure that the editor is installed on the same drive where your game is installed. This worked for me and I haven't had any problems with the editor since. Other than that I really don't have any other ideas or solutions for this other than waiting for SI to fix it through the next patch.
