UE4 was so reliable and still is now I’m working on a project and literally I can’t finish it because of that annoying Bug I started to feel it’s a mistake that I started the project in UE5 when I had the chance to choose

please advice

Hey Ahmed,

I’ve been getting the same crash whenever I open more than one editor window in UE5. It stood out to me that you also have magic bullet installed so I deactivated the plugin and as far as I can tell it’s no longer crashing, hope this helps!
