I’m hoping that reporting it will allow them to fix it because it’s going to drive me and I’m not typing Empty like 30 times ☹

Hi johnfg12,

- Does this occur in a clean, blank project with no additional content or is it limited to one project?
- What steps can I take to reproduce this on my end?
- Can you post your full crashlog here? This can be found at \Unreal Project\PROJECTNAME\saved\logs\

it seems to be in all project but seems to be slightly random

ctrl + C and then try ctrl + V in a couple of slots in the strut and it crashes

unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce this error on my end. Do you have any other steps I can try? Do you have a struct asset that this is occurring in I can take a look at?

1. Create New project (i make top down one)
2. Go to Player controller blueprint
3. Select and Copy(ctrl+c) “Click and go there” code on event graph
4. Go back to content browser
5. Press F2 (rename) TopDownGameMode
6. Paste (ctrlv + v)

Editor close, without crash report. Here the log. If you cant reproduce it, dosnt matter, i test it on old laptop which is might be a source of the problem.

I was able to reproduce this on my end and have entered a bug report, UE-31520, to be assessed by the development staff.
