The title says it all, a scene that used to build now crashes out with this error. Anyone know a like;y culprit or where I should start looking? Thanks

<None> === Lightmass crashed: ===

You might be running out of RAM

No, I’ve been watching that in the task manager. It crashes 5 secs into doing the lighting build. I re-imported my scene through Datasmith & left out a few meshes I had added in previously by hand. That seemed to clear the light build part of things. Thanks

When lightmass crashes always start with clearing your lightmass cache.

It happened again & clearing the swarm cache fixed it. Thanks for the heads up!

Open the swarm agent by double clicking the swarm agent icon in the task bar (…after it was building lighting. The icon might not be there if you just started the the editor). In that window there is a menu “Cache”. In that menu click on “clean” and then “validate”. Then check the “Log” tab if it was successful.

Thanks guys, this solved it for me. Clean and Validate Swarm… Ram not part of the issue. Thanks.

You most likely are running out of memory. So you need to reduce your lightmap sizes. Start with foliage if you have it or terrain.

Are we talking about system RAM or video RAM? Thx!
