Debugging Fatal Errors When Attempting MP GameMode Restart

Hi, y’all!

I’m trying to restart a level in an MP Coop game.
However, when RestartGame is called, the game crashes with a fatal error.
How do I go about finding more information? Are there logs or something somewhere?
I’m connecting through Steam FWIW.

depending on how you packaged your game, crash reports are either in PROJECTFOLDER/Saved/ either in %localAppData%/YOURGAMENAME/Saved.

Depending on whether you packaged debug symbols, you may have a readable stack trace in *.xml there.

Also here is the minidump.dmp file that can be used in visual studio for debugging.

There is also a check for “include crash reporter” in package settings. But it requires a bit more work to setup properly.

Can also cause a crash while being connected to packaged application with VS debugger.

Anyway, for the further reading google ue5 debug packaged game

Hi, all! I think this problem may have been caused by renaming a folder or map within said folder. When I rebuilt the map from scratch, everything seemed to work?
Heed those warning popups folks!
