Hey! I fixed it!! It turned out that the issue was caused by a verse file referencing another verse device, which was making the editor crash. I resolved it by deleting the reference from the verse file, and now the editor opens perfectly. This might not work for, you as I see your error code is different than mine. But anyways hope this helps! ---

The error code changes every time I try and open it, it has to be verse because nothing else in the map was causing issues but idk where or what verse code is causing it ☹ ---

Just find your map content folder (usually is on the documents folder, under FortniteProjects) and drag to your desktop all the .verse files, then open the project and return one by one all the .verse files to your content folder until the editor crashes, when it does, the last file you added is the one that causes the crash. Hope this helps!
