Editor freezes when opening assets

Hello everyone,

after updating to 4.12, the editor freezes after trying to open UMG assets.
The last line in the output-window of VS2015 always is
“‘UE4Editor.exe’ (Win32): Loaded ‘C:\Universion\Engine\UnrealEngine-4.12\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor-SequencerWidgets.dll’. Symbols loaded.”

Maybe it has something to do with it?

Sorry, I have to correct myself.
Almost all assets cause this issue. Also for my project partner.
Cascade opens, and then it freezes. UMG freezes while opening. Mesh-Viewer freezes after opening…

After further testing, it almost freezes doing anything that requires a new window, but not always at the same spot. One time, a blueprint openend, the next time it froze opening the exact same one.

Hi ,

I need to ask a few questions in order to offer support:

  1. Did you keep a copy of your original project in a previous version of UE4?
  2. When you downloaded UE4.12 did you include ‘Editor symbols for debugging?’
  3. Please post a copy of your dxdiag.

Please respond with the requested information above and we will continue to investigate.

Thanks,

.

1.) No, but I changed the Unreal Version back to 4.11 and there everything works fine again.

2.) It’s a source build, I just pulled the “release”-branch.

3.) http://pastebin.com/EcGnkJc8

But as I mentioned, my teampartner has the same issues (with the same project), and we have different PC-Setups.
The issue didnt occur on a new project for neither of us.

I experienced a similar issue with 4.12. However, it occurred when trying to load a (big) level. Unfortunately, downgrading to 4.11.2 isn’t an option for me.

Posted as several issue here, as I don’t know if it really is the same. I will try to open some UMG / other assets manually though and see if I get a freeze by doing that, too.

Hey ,

The freeze you are experiencing is likely the same issue reported in the following two links, the latter including a pull request.

4.12 infinite loop in engine source + fix

Please review these and let me know if the issue described is not applicable to your situation. If it is, a fix is on it’s way.

Hello. I am the team member working with . I just added in the their change and we’re still having the same freeze up when opening assets. I’ve been manually pausing and looking at the Call Stack and the following seems to repeat as it continuously consumes more memory until it runs out and crashes. I cannot confirm that it’s an infinite loops however, it does repeat indefinitely.

Hey Xonos,

Are you getting a Crash Reporter window? If so, please copy and past the contents in a doc and send, including your Machine ID. Also remember to hit “submit” in the Crash Reporter window so we can cross-reference your data in our data base.

Thanks,

No. It never “crashes”. Just freezes until it runs out of memory but I haven’t waited that long because I force close it. Otherwise, entire system locks up.

In the UE4.12 version, try:

  1. Delete the Config, Intermediate, and Saved folders (You will need to re-enter your Project Settings)
  2. Run a Map Check on the main map and each sub-level. (Correct all applicable errors, ignoring things like "No Source Control.)
  3. Click on the “Content” folder in the Content Browser and select Fix Up Redirectors in Folder"
  4. Save all.
