I installed version 4.7.1 few days ago and I haven’t any problems with launching Unreal Editor. I upgraded the engine to 4.7.2 today and now I’m getting crash everytime when I try to open Unreal Editor - it crash during initializng at 45%. I can open launcher but not editor.
Try this. Open Launcher, Select Library tab, click on add versions, load latest available (ie 4.6.1) -or if you already have it, run it. Create a new blank Project and save it. Close editor. Go back to library and rmb 4.7. Chose “verify.” After verifying, Open 4.7.2 to open the blank project you just created.
If it opens, try opening the project you were working on in 4.7.1. If it does not open, that means something from the original project is not compatible with 4.7.2.
Thank you for respond. I installed 4.6.1 to check if this version will work for me. It’s working without issues. I haven’t any “my” projects since I’m at begining of my journey with UE4. So like you suggested, I’ve made blank project in 4.6.1, after that I went to …documents/unrealprojects/ and clicked right mouse on blank project and I “Switched unreal engine version” to 4.7. It’s like before, it crash when it show “Initializing” at 45%.
I was removing and downloading 4.7.2 version few times and nothing has changed, any solutions? Is there also an option to donwload 4.7.1 version again? I’m asking because in launcher I can only choose from 4.7.2, 4.6.1 and older ones, there is no 4.7.1.
“rmb 4.7” it is short for, “right mouse button” -but it turns out it lmb or “left mouse button” but you figured it out. Unfortunately you can only download the latest released version of the engine (ie 4.7.2 but not 4.7.0)
As I mentioned before, I’ve put in a bug report so maybe a developer can shed some light on why you are experiencing this issue. It may have to do with the type of system you are running on. What version of Windows are you on? Also, please post a copy of your Dxdiag. (I’ve heard people running Windows Vista can run 4.6.1 but not 4.7)
Is there any other way to give you Dxdiag? I was trying to attach this file but it won’t start to upload, it stay at 0%… I have no idea why… I’ve tried upload with 3 web browsers.
By “clearing out” I understand delete some files? In DerivedDataCache folder I had one file Compressed.ddp and I removed it, than I removed also DerivedDataCache folder. Nothing has changed, it crash during “Initializing” at 45%.
Ok. I cant reproduce the crash here. I’m trying to source a machine with a similar setup to yours.
In the meantime, from the crash log it looks like its trying to load your project ’ UE4-MyProjectBlank’ try renaming that and starting the editor again.
If that helps i’d really appreciate a copy of the project to help repro at my end (if that is ok with you of course)
I don’t have it anymore since I was installing and uninstalling engine few times. About project, it was simple first person project from what I remember. I created project with the same name “MyProjectBlank” today but in 4.6.1 (this version is working for me), than changed to open in 4.7 and crashed also at 45%. Maybe I should unistall again and clear some files in “regedit” or something…
Are you still experiencing this issue? Have you tried updating to 4.7.3? If so, have you tried launching 4.7.3 and opening a blank project. If that works can you launch 4.7.3 then open a copy of your 4.6 project through the launcher?
Just to let you know, we’ve been trying to repro this here for the last couple of days. still no luck
What happens if you open the editor without a project? (maybe rename the folder of your current project?). does it start? can you create a brand new project without problems?
I could open editor in 4.6 and create/open any new project. In 4.7.2 and now 4.7.3 I can’t even open editor since it crash at 45% during initalizing proces. I uninstalled both version and launcher today, cleared all (I think) files releated to “Epic Games” and “Unreal” in regedit. Than I installed fresh 4.7.3 and still no luck. I was suprised that when I installed launcher again it remebered my e-mail address… Can you tell me where launcher keeps those data?
I also updated my GPU drivers (nvidia) to the newest ones, I’m using now 347.88 - nothing has changed.
Thank you for that info. I decided to reinstall my Windows. I’ve cleared my system partition and installed “fresh” system. It worked! I don’t have any problems during opening and creating projects in 4.7.3.
I have no idea what was the issue before but I’m glad that this solution worked for me. I hope I will not get any issues in the next few days
Thank you all for your time and effort to help me with resolving above issue! I really appreciate it.
I’m glad you got this resolved. I was going to suggest that, but that is always considered a “last ditch” effort. Please let us know if you experience any further issues. -Thanks
