How can I run Version 4.3.1 because it is corrupt?

After updating to v 4.4 I have lost EVERYTHING. None of my backup up versions of my game load in v 4.4. I previously used v 4.3.1 without any issues. All I can load in a converted version 4.4 game is simple blueprints. All complex pawn, HUD and level blueprints crash. (They took months to create).

After updating to v 4.4, my version 4.3.1 editor no longer loads, even with a blank template. I have un-installed all engine versions and re-installed all engine versions. Version 4.3.1 still does not load. The crash report is blank.

  1. Is it a known issue for version 4.3.1 to stop working?
  2. Is there a stable and reliable version 4.3.2 planned for release?

After loading a scene, converted from 4.3.1 to 4.4 the following error message appears.

!Id:f2c600d4353e40bd4fdd3b62dcf13fc1

Unknown exception - code c0000028 (first/second chance not available)

Howdy NitroGraphics,

Thank you for reporting this issue. Would you be able to attach your DXdiag and any log files generated from your project?

Currently, I am unaware of any plans for a 4.3.2 release. I am not saying that it won’t happen but as of this moment, nothing is setup for 4.3.2.

Are you completely unable to open 4.3.1 since or unable to open the project you are having issue’sin 4.4 in 4.3.1?

If you are able to open a new project in 4.3.1, I would recommend doing so and transferring files between the 4.4 project and the new 4.3.1 project using Windows Explorer. You should be able to drag your assets from the 4.4 project and into the new 4.3.1 project.

Let me know if this helps any?

Thanks and have a great day!

Sean,

Originally, the 4.3.1 editor completely failed to open, even after multiple clean installations (100% crash rate). To solve the problem, I clicked the down arrow next to the “launch” button and selected verify. After doing this 7 or 8 times, which initiated a number of smaller downloads, the 4.3.1 editor eventually opened without crashing… Well, the crash rate is now 50%.

I have tried opening assets I created in 4.3.1 in version 4.4 but most BP’s failed.

I will stick with 4.3.1

Thanks
