[Minor] Engine freezes if you try to delete a map that is open in the viewport

When deleting the map that you have open in the viewport, rather than simply failing to delete with an error or switching you to a blank map, the engine freezes requiring a force quit via task manager

Hi jstuie,

I was not able to reproduce this in UE4.12.5 following these steps:

  1. Open new blank project
  2. Create new “Test Level”
  3. Open “Test Level”
  4. Delete “Test Level”
  5. Choose “Force Delete” when warning appears
  6. Save

Result: Upon deleting “Test Level” all contents of level delete, leaving a black/blank viewport. Tab remains labeled “Test Level.” Upon saving, Tab reverts to “New Map” -No engine freeze.

Please provide your System Specs as well as updated repro steps if the one’s I have listed are not an accurate reproduction of the issue.

Thanks,

Hi,

Those steps weren’t exactly what I did. These are the steps that caused the problem for me.

  1. Create a standard project with starter content enabled
  2. Delete the default level while still open

It then freezes at this point.

Thanks for the updated steps, however, I am still not able to reproduce the issue following these steps. In order to make sure we are testing on a comparable machine, please provide your OS: Windows 7, 8, or 10?

Hi jstuie,

Since we have not heard back from you in a while, we are closing this post for tracking purposes. However, if you are still experiencing the engine freezing when you delete an open map, please provide your Operating System and we will continue to investigate.

Thanks,
