Hello, can you help me to track down this error while compiling my project?
I can say it started after importing a “meta human”. It should be related to it.

Here’s what I found:

Meta human imported in Empty project → compiles no problems.
My project → compiles 0 problems, 0 warnings.
My project with the same meta human imported → Fatal error when compiling.

This means something ,maybe some of the editor options you are asked to enable when you import Meta Human, is incompatible with my project.

Ok, I managed to solve it. By comparing the “rendering” options in the new project with my project. The only things I had changed was: enabled “planar reflections” and “generate mesh distance fields” ('cause I used it in some post processing effect but I can live without it).
So either one or the other (or both, who knows) are incompatible with meta human character. Disabled both and now it gives no error anymore.
