Hello everyone,
I’m having trouble getting Unreal Editor 4.10.1 to start on my Mac OS X. It just sticks at “Initializing…45%” and will not go any farther.
Let me know what I should do or what additional information is needed to figure out the problem. This is my first time ever trying to use Unreal Editor.

Thanks

Hi MobbyBo,

This could be caused by a corrupted Boot.ddc:

(/Users/ ----------------- /Library/Application Support/Epic/UnrealEngine/4.10/DerivedDataCache/Boot.ddc)

With the editor closed, I suggest deleting all files from the DerivedDataCache folder and re-starting the editor.

If this does not work, then please follow these instructions:

Allow the engine to crash so the Crash Reporter is present
Cut and paste the contents of the Crash reporter into a empty text doc and attach here
Also send us your stystem specs: You can find this in the Apple menu >About This Mac>More Info> Add the information from this window (serial # not necessary).

Thanks,

.

Hi MobbyBo,

Since we have not heard back from you in a few days, we are marking this “resolved” for tracking purposes. However, if you are still having a problem with the editor being stuck at 45% when opening, please follow the previously posted instructions and respond with the requested system specs and we will continue to diagnose the issue.

Thanks,

.

Hello, I just installed the software for the first time (version 4.14.1) and it’s doing the same thing- stuck at 45%. Please advise. *I tried the above instructions but the file system is not the same for this version.

Delete the entire DerivedDataCache folder from the install directory:

C:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.14\Engine\DerivedDataCache

Let me know if this does not resolve the issue.

Not OP but this fixed it for me!

Thank you very much!

HI

I downloaded first time UE version 4.18
Start editor and sleep in 45%
I delete “C:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.14\Engine\DerivedDataCache”, none, sleep in 45%
Shhhh 15 minutes or more is sleeping 45%.

10 Gigas downloads in more than 6 hours, and it turns out that the program does not work.
My beginning with Unreal Engine is very sad.
