Lyra Template Crashes the Editor on VR Preview (PIE) in UE 5.6 – Anyone Know a Fix?

Hi all,

I’m seeing a repeatable crash inside the editor (PIE > VR Preview) every time I test the Lyra Starter Game with VR enabled in Unreal Engine 5.6.0. I’d like to confirm whether this is already on Epic’s radar—or if someone has a cleaner workaround—before opening a formal bug ticket.

The very same project runs perfectly in UE 5.5.4, so it looks like something changed between versions.

as fare as I know Lyra doesn’t support vr control yet, but you cant try to enable meta vr plugin, or the vr plugin of your headset, and test the project again.

This problem only occurs in UE5.6 UE5.5 normal
