Using 4.25.4 or 4.26.0 I can create any of the template projects in “Film, Television, and Live Events”, “Architecture, Engineering, and Construction” or “Automotive, Product Design, and Manufacturing” and the project will crash at Initializing… 75%. The project splash screen then disappears and the task in task manager is no longer visible. The epic games launcher re-appears and no crash report dialogue ever appears. Any further attempts to open the project also result in complete crash at Initializing… 75%. (This entire issue does not effect anything under the “Games” New Project Category AFAIK
I have attempted uninstall and reinstall of engine. Verbose logging added to DefaultEngine.ini doesn’t log anything that looks suspicious to me although most of the time the logs last entry is “LogMaterial: Display: Missing cached shader map for material DefaultSpriteMaterial, compiling”. Deleting intermediary assets has no effect. Removing entire config folder has no effect. I attached a verbose log in case anyone can take a look.
Any more techniques to either gather more information on the potential issue or further troubleshoot the problem is greatly appreciated as I am unclear how to create a new project for any of my potential use cases at this time.link text
