Chaos Cloth Assets Keep Crashing Unreal - Is there a way to make them work?

Hi,

I’ve been trying to use the Chaos Cloth Assets in 5.3 but every time I build or change the node graph, Unreal crashes. I am trying to add my own clothes. Is this something anyone else has experienced or found a fix for?

I realise they are experimental so maybe this is to be expected? (I’m quite new to Unreal so I’m not sure what to expect)

I have tried building a node graph from scratch and I have tried replacing the meshes in the example content, both senarios lead to the same crash.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Many thanks

P.S. I am running a VM with 16 vCPUs and 60GB of RAM - is that enough?

Same issue. Mine specifically happens when adding the render mesh. The sim mesh is fine. I’ve followed the Marvelous to Chaos workflow verbatim.

Hi! As for me, I had a high-poly mesh and it’s reason of crash. I lowered the number of triangles and polygons with Blender. (I used Decimate Modifire)
After that, crash disappeared

Or you can deacrese a count of material. Or you have to delete CHaosClothComponent from Mesh in your BP, after that you can work with ChaosCloth
