Activating cloth paint makes the section disappear, converted cloth section from UE4 crashes editor.

Using unreal 5.3.2 and everytime i try to use any form of cloth paint it just disappears?

I’m using the same export settings as i did with UE4 which worked without problems.

Additionally, when i open a cloth section from a mesh converted from UE4 to UE5 and stop cloth painting it crashes the editor every time.


The behavior described happens when Chaos Cloth plugin has not been enabled for your Unreal project. You should therefore first make sure that Chaos Cloth is enabled.

You can see a sign that Chaos Cloth is not enabled in the Clothing Window under the section Config/Cloth Configs there are “0 Map elements”. If Chaos Cloth had been enabled you would see it list 2 elements here: ChaosClothConfig and ChaosClothSharedSimConfig.
