4.6.1 crashes after launch on HP laptop

You could rename the file to UE4.txt or to UE4.log if needed, or you could put the file in a .zip file and upload that.

The file is where the engine is installed, it’s in the engines config folder.

I can’t seem to find the text file anymore, Any ideas?

It’s here:

I know that one, but everytime I save it or rename it it only saves as .log and not .txt

As you can see in the BaseEngine.ini file the variable is actually there, you could you check if it is present in a file called ‘Engine.ini’ within the Saved folder of your project?

Okay, try uploading UE4.log. It should be possible now.

There you go :slight_smile:

It’s exactly the error that I’m saying, it missing to find a value in your config files:

LogWindows: === Critical error: ===
Assertion failed: GConfig->GetInt(TEXT("TextureStreaming"), TEXT("MinTextureResidentMipCount"), MinTextureResidentMipCount, GEngineIni) [File:D:\BuildFarm\buildmachine_++depot+UE4-Releases+4.6\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\SystemSettings.cpp] [Line: 346] 

Could you try to re-download the engine from the launcher but make sure to purge it first completely.

When you say purge do you mean completely uninstall the program and reinstall? I am re-installing right as we speak though "p

It is still telling me the program has crashed :frowning:

Arrrrr!!! Ok, could you try the new 4.7 preview? An yet another test would be creating a source build from GitHub and debug why the engine is not able to find that config value.

I recommend you to run in debug to see where it fails exactly. We can not extract more info from the crash than we already have.

How would I do that? Do I do that in a different program?

If you have no idea about programming in might a bit hard. But here is the starter guide: https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Programming/QuickStart/1/index.html

Just to be completely clear, what versions of the editor have you tried so far? You said that this crash occurred in 4.6.1 and in 4.7 preview 8, correct?

I have tried 4.6.1 and 4.7 preview, not 8. I don’t have that option
