Packaged game crash

Sparrow911x · January 25, 2023, 7:16pm

In UE5.1, my packaged game crashed, but there’s no problem in editor. So far I’ve found that it seems to be a problem with my vehicle skeletal meshes. They were all Vigilante assets which transferred from the old version UE 4.27. When I try to open a map with these assets, my game crashed and I got this:

Same problem here did you find ?

Protocasting · February 27, 2023, 9:37am

Same issue now. Guessing the quickest fix is to just delete the Vigilante assets from the level?

@vB2sm and @Sparrow911x could you please try the proceeding steps that I tried and also please list the Visual Studio version, toolchain, and Windows SDK you are using to build the project? Also, do you include the prerequisite installer with the executable? Or include the app-local prerequisites directly (in the bottom of your Packaging section of Project Settings)?

Thanks!

EDIT: Ah! I tracked something down… are you two using InstaDeformComponent on your vehicles? This showed up when running Debug on the packaged project. Try turning off InstaDeform Plugin!

I can confirm that removing InstaDeformComponent made the packaged project work for me!

Here are some steps I took which unfortunately have not resolved the issue:

I replaced all Vigilante assets from the level, and also replaced all other Skeletal Meshes with the Simple Mannequin Skeletal Mesh which comes with Unreal Engine’s Default Content.
Then, I deleted Saved and Intermediate folders, and used Clean Project plugin to make sure none of those original assets are included in the packaged build.
I reran BuildCookRun using the following command:

RunUAT.bat -ScriptsForProject=D:/Projects/Unreal/Packaged/projectname.uproject Turnkey -command=VerifySdk -platform=Win64 -UpdateIfNeeded -EditorIO -EditorIOPort=11754 -project=D:/Projects/Unreal/Packaged/projectname.uproject BuildCookRun -nop4 -utf8output -nocompileeditor -skipbuildeditor -cook -project=D:/Projects/Unreal/Packaged/projectname.uproject -target=projectname -unrealexe="C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.1\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor-Cmd.exe" -platform=Win64 -installed -stage -archive -package -build -pak -iostore -compressed -prereqs -archivedirectory=D:/Projects/Unreal/Packaged/projectname/Builds -clientconfig=Development -nocompile -nocompileuat

And the problem persists when I open up the Executable. This was all performed using UE5.1.1 and its build tools. Here is the error:

So, this is strange, considering there are no Skeletal Meshes except for the simple ones which ship with the engine. I am wondering if 5.1.1 has an issue, and am now proceeding to attempt to build a different project which has almost nothing in it, but includes a character skeletal mesh. I will also attempt to build a duplicate of that same project for 5.0.3 and then see if anything works correctly. If so, I’ll try again to convert a copy of my project to 5.0.3 and rebuild.

So, upon navigating to "C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.1\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\SkeletalMeshRenderData.cpp" and checking the Engine source files, I see the following at line 198:

void VerifyAllLodSkeletalMeshModelIntegrity(USkinnedAsset* Owner)
{
	if (!Owner || !Owner->GetImportedModel())
	{
		return;
	}

	FSkeletalMeshModel* SkelMeshModel = Owner->GetImportedModel();
	for (int32 LODIndex = 0; LODIndex < SkelMeshModel->LODModels.Num(); LODIndex++)
	{
		FSkeletalMeshLODModel* LODModel = &(SkelMeshModel->LODModels[LODIndex]);
		int32 SectionsVerticeNum = 0;
		int32 SectionsTriangleNum = 0;
		for (const FSkelMeshSection& Section : LODModel->Sections)
		{
			SectionsVerticeNum += Section.GetNumVertices();
			SectionsTriangleNum += Section.NumTriangles;
			int32 LastSectionIndexBuffer = Section.BaseIndex + (Section.NumTriangles * 3);
			if (Section.NumTriangles > 0)
			{
				//Remove 1 if we have at least one triangle
				LastSectionIndexBuffer--;
			}

			if (LODModel->IndexBuffer.IsValidIndex(LastSectionIndexBuffer))
			{
				uint32 FirstSectionIndexBufferValue = LODModel->IndexBuffer[Section.BaseIndex];
				uint32 LastSectionIndexBufferValue = LODModel->IndexBuffer[LastSectionIndexBuffer];
				if (FirstSectionIndexBufferValue < Section.BaseVertexIndex || LastSectionIndexBufferValue >= Section.BaseVertexIndex + Section.GetNumVertices())
				{
					UE_ASSET_LOG(LogSkeletalMesh, Error, Owner, TEXT("The source model is corrupted! Section triangle refer to a vertex not in the section. LOD %d"), LODIndex);
				}
			}
			else
			{
				UE_ASSET_LOG(LogSkeletalMesh, Error, Owner, TEXT("The source model is corrupted! Section index buffer is invalid. LOD %d"), LODIndex);
			}
		}

		if (LODModel->NumVertices != SectionsVerticeNum)
		{
			UE_ASSET_LOG(LogSkeletalMesh, Error, Owner, TEXT("The source model is corrupted! Total sections vertice count is different from source model vertice count. LOD %d"), LODIndex);
		}
		if ((LODModel->IndexBuffer.Num() / 3) != SectionsTriangleNum)
		{
			UE_ASSET_LOG(LogSkeletalMesh, Error, Owner, TEXT("The source model is corrupted! Total sections triangle count is different from source model triangle count (index count divide by 3). LOD %d"), LODIndex);
		}
	}
}

Specifically, the line UE_ASSET_LOG(LogSkeletalMesh, Error, Owner, TEXT("The source model is corrupted! Section index buffer is invalid. LOD %d"), LODIndex);

So, either there is an issue with the Skeletal Meshes themselves, or there is indeed, a missing function somewhere in (in my instance) [D:\a\_work\1\s\src\vctools\crt\vcstartup\src\startup\exe_common.inl:288]

In your case @Sparrow911x:
[d:\a01_work\12\s\src\vctools\crt\vcstartup\src\startup\exe_common.inl:288]

I’m using Visual Studio Community 2022 v17.5.0 with the Windows 10 SDK 10.0.20348.0 and Windows 11 SDK (10.0.22000.0) installed. It appears the 14.35.32215 toolchain is getting used, with the Windows 10.0.22000.0 SDK:

Using Visual Studio 2022 14.35.32215 toolchain (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.35.32215) and Windows 10.0.22000.0 SDK (C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10).

Could it be possible that there’s an issue with the prerequisites getting packaged with the project? Or just the toolchain in general?

EDIT: Tracked down the issue to InstaDeformComponent using Debug Breakpoints with Editor Debug Symbols as per Debugging How To Debug Packaged Games | Unreal Engine Community Wiki (unrealcommunity.wiki)

Is there a fix for this?

DesuIsSparta · July 28, 2023, 9:06am

I am experiencing the same crash in my packaged game. Works fine in the editor.

Using Unreal Engine 5.1.1.
