I’m using UE 5.6.
How can I solve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Hello there @Tosom!

From your provided log, the crash is most likely ocurring due a Python bridge conflict. If something is wrong in that section, the generator will suffer an access violation crash. There are a few steps we can try here:

  • First, make sure your asset is properly setup (strands and simulation)

  • Then, test by disabling/re-enabling the “Python Editor Script Plugin” in UE’s config

  • If that doesn’t change the outcome, try running UE with “-NoPython” rule

There are also more general methods to implement, in case Python is ruled out as the issue’s origin:

  • Update your GPU drivers, via a clean install, and choosing Developer drivers, if available

  • Perform a clear cache, via delete folders Binaries and Intermediate from your project’s directory, then allow the engine to rebuild. After that, please test generating hair in a new asset
