I renamed material instance… chose fix redirectors… and it crashes the editor… It does thsi every time. I am using perforce p4v source control but has never given me any problems before. What is happening!?
It says " preparing construction scripts " at the bottom right just before it crashes… what is happening??
I even tried doing it while loading a blank level… WTF!!?
Nevermind… for anyone curious… it was a generated mesh from the modeling tools that somehow got corrupted. I suppose it used that material instance and trying to fix redirectors… or even opening the mesh … or even clicking delete on the mesh… would all crash unreal. I had to delete the uasset from teh directory manually.
Found via the crash log which mentioned the mesh by name.
