Hello guys ! First of all thanks a lot for that wonderful Editor. It’s really cool, although I’m experiencing a lot of crashes. Here’s explanation : I’m working on a level. first minutes, it’s ok. Then, editor experiences some slows for every operation i’m making (scaling, moving, etc., everything has a 1 to 2 and even 3 seconds latency). Then, suddenly, editor crashes to desktop. I’m on an Alienware with core i7 / 8 GB of RAM and a GeForce GTX 660. It’s not a monster, but it shouldn’t behave like that, whatever. I’m joining my logs from Project / level that keeps crashing. Edit : I clicked too fast, I’m joining logs now ^^link text link text ---

I’m getting this problem too. I found when I used spline tool, it eats up allot of my memory. And using Terrain tool makes it lock up after awhile because of switching from terrain editor and content browser. And another problem is that it doesn’t open last recent map I’ve been working on. It just keeps loading example map. ---

I’m having this problem in 2017, with engine 4.14.3. editor crashes even if i’m doing nothing. After a few minutes, it just crashes, oftem when I’m just switching windows. hint I got from this post is constants: - landscape, 3 of them, each in a separate streamed level. - splines for a rive and for a few trees (like, 10 pine trees) ---

Hi Maha, Could you create a new report in Bug Report section? This post is from many version ago and even though it may seem similar, it is likely a completely different cause. Make sure to include as much info as possible (Callstack, crash logs, exact repro steps, test project, etc.) Feel free to include a link to this post as reference as well. ---

“This post is from many version ago and even though it may seem similar, it is likely a completely different cause.” I still had same issues since first time I launched Unreal Editor and I posted this thread, and nothing never helped. I lost faith and do not use UEditor anymore since then. So even if it is from many versions ago, problem may be same. ---
