Using 4.14.2, engine keeps crashing when I try to import an FBX. This has only recently started happening with my current project:

Any help would be much appreciated

Managed to fix the issue by applying a different material to the mesh in 3ds Max before exporting.

Edit: Still crashing

Fixed by commit [https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/3dd2cb314295be21406ffd4e022a87d3ddfce00c](https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/3dd2cb314295be21406ffd4e022a87d3ddfce00c) and issue [Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-39692)](https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-39692) .

Solution is to recompile UE from 4.14 branch.
