Hi FAXCORP

Try moving your project closer to the root drive. You should avoid putting your project within subfolders such as C:/Users/[YouName]/Documents/UnrealProjects/[ProjectName]/

Check inside your project to make sure you don’t have too many subfolders either.
I can’t be sure, but it seems the log is pointing to a texture that has the long name.

I hope this helps

Hi, Alex, thank you for the answer, forgot to mention that I’ve already moved my project to C:/ root. I can’t seem to spot the texture name you are talking about, which line is it?

After adding some lines to cpp code I was able to write to log which asset was the engine calculating thus pointing me to an old static mesh, which when deleted, solved the problem
