I have been recently following a rather simple tutorial on an inventory system, which used a version of unreal engine from a few months ago. I have followed the tutorial flawlessly twice however have had to change a few “#include” statements to avoid errors. Originally the project compiled perfectly, in editor and VS but still crashed. The error below would occur in VS if I compiled only with VS but if I compile successfully with the Editor, VS will then compile fine but I still get the crash.

This is the tutorial I have been following, my editor crashes when the youtuber is able to play the project.
