    If I leave the workshop preview image blank I get this error instead.

    Error opening preview file. Make sure that the file UDKGame/CookedSDK/ is valid and not accessed by another program.

    Is there anything I can do to fix this or this on Steam’s end.

    It’s probably on steam’s end. Their servers get worse every day.
