Engine crashes when using take recorder in simulate mode

Hello,

I want to record some character ragdoll animations with take recorder but every time I click on the “simulate” button after starting the recording, it crashes. It’s a brand-new project using default assets. It works fine without the take recorder.

Thanks.

Hi,

It would be very helpful to post the crash log, otherwise there is NO way to know what’s going on.

Ah, reminds me of my days of coding in C++.

There’s a broken reference and/or a necessary file is missing or has been renamed or corrupted.

It’s ALSO possible that you’re missing a component that is used TO READ the file. Yes, very convoluted, I know.

Try reverifying Unreal Engine or reinstalling it.

To reverify:

Further reading if these don’t work; people tried all sorts of things:

Thank you. I will try your suggestions.

I installed 5.3 for now which doesn’t have the issues, so probably something somewhere went wrong with my 5.4.

Verify did the trick. Thanks!
