Development Getting Started & Setup

I did a really clean fresh install of my whole system where the engine itself works smooth. When i open my old project, the loading screen gets stuck at 95% and then says UE4 has stopped working. I’m surprised this error didn’t have anything to do with my machine, could it be that it has something to do with the project?

I fixed it by dragging everything inside the Content folder to a temporary desktop folder, dragging one folder back into Content and starting the project, until i found the folder that blocked the engine’s start. The problem was simply a large Actor and a Destructible Mesh, which i have removed and unreferenced. The project works as it should right now!
