Engine version 4.25.3 I have since updated to 4.25.4 but problem still the same. While waiting for moderation I uninstalled the engine and re-downloaded and installed. There are clearly setting that do not get removed because EQS was still enabled which is not the default. And it still crashes
Assertion failed: IsValid() [File:D:\Build\++UE4+Licensee\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Public\Templates/SharedPointer.h] [Line: 890]
I was doing some testing using a custom Environment Query Generator Blueprint Base. At some point the editor crashed and now I am unable to do anything inside of an Environment Query without crashing the editor.
I created a new Third person project and created an EQS query and exactly the same thing happens even without the custom generator.
Any thoughts on which file / cache might be responsible?
Ok while waiting for moderation I managed to find a fix for this:
locate this folder…C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\4.25\Saved\Config\Windows
in EditorLayout.ini delete the section with this title:Standalone_EnvironmentQuery_Layout
