Character Mesh Dissapears and won't let me edit Details panel?

[Plumick]

I saved my project. Then closed it and next time I went to reopen it this happens. This is the second time now and I had to remake the whole character. I am just wondering if there is a easier way?

Hey @Plumick , welcome to the forum!

I’ve had this happen to me before a few times, with UE5.2.1. I don’t know if this happens on other UE5 versions or why does this happen, but sometimes BPs get corrupted.

The only way I was able to solve this was by recreating the whole BP from scratch.

If you do that, try to save a copy of the file somewhere outside of the project so you can come back to it if (or when) it happens again.

Maybe someone else knows exactly the reason why this happens, I couldn’t find any information about ut in the moment.

I can say one thing though. Since the screenshot shows that it’s a C++ component, if you use LiveCoding or some other Live compiling form, that can cause components in actors to get corrupted, so I would strongly recommend not doing that.

If it’s a C++ issue and not a BP issue, the solution is:

1. Rename all corrupted components

2. Rebuild solution

3. Launch Unreal Editor

4. Compile BP

5. Change components names back and rebuild (you can skip this step, but I would assume you want to preserve your naming)

Good to know @GRIM_Warlock thanks for your help! I will be sure to make a copy that is a good idea. I don’t think I have live compiling on? However I am fairly new to Ue5 so I could be wrong.

I found live coding option and now have disabled it. Will see if this helps because it did the glitch again.

try change parent class to pawn,and then change it back to charecter agan

This is very prominent in 5.3.2, have had it happen multiple times and it really needs to be fixed by Epic. The only fix is what was stated above which is to set your parent class to actor (or something else), and then back to character class again. It’s basically a corruption issue, still little knowledge as to why it is happening so much still though.
