I’ve been working on a project and recently upgraded to 4.12, but my character’s Anim BP got corrupted in this update. Every time I recompile, the engine crashes. I can’t even see what the compiler error is, if it’s just one node that needs fixing, because the any recompile will crash the engine.

I saw a similar error with the third person anim BP that was related to the dynamic force feedback node and I managed to fix it, but even with the node removed from my anim BP the error still appears and the engine still crashes.

OK, the 4.12.2 update fixed it. Unfortunately, getting the Player Character in the Anim BP no longer works: you need to get the Owning Actor and then cast it to the Character BP.
