I’m having a real nightmare with this crash. Anyone else getting it?
Im trying out 4.26 with c++ and its happening all the time even though ive hardly written any code. I also used to get it in 4.25, but I discovered it was caused by programming my own destructors ( I was trying to trace the flow and creation of the UE framework and my own classes) and the crash went away after I removed the destructors, but I have no destructors in my 4.26 program and this crash is happening all the time. I dont claim to even know what it means, but I wish it would stop!
That error means it expects something to override a method, but nothing did. You’d need to post your logs / callstack if you want to know where the issue is.
So Im trying to think what I have done that triggers this.
Is it that I am supposed to be overriding a function when I extend a UE class but I have not done?
Or could it be that I am not making a call to the Super:: when I have overriden a class?
I am primarily making subclasses of the basic UE frameworks such as GameInstance, GameModeBase, GameState, PlayerController and PlayerState at the moment
So Ive caught the first of todays many! Not sure if this useful for anything,
Fatal error: [File:D:/Build/++UE4/Sync/Engine/Source/Runtime/Core/Private/Windows/WindowsPlatformMisc.cpp] [Line: 475] Pure virtual function being called
And the second - same of the first, occurred when I pressed ESCAPE to end PIE
Fatal error: [File:D:/Build/++UE4/Sync/Engine/Source/Runtime/Core/Private/Windows/WindowsPlatformMisc.cpp] [Line: 475] Pure virtual function being called
There’s the problem right there. You’ve defined a pure virtual function, which then hasn’t been implemented or overridden in a child class. It’s rare to need pure virtuals in UE4 generally.
The problem is I really have not made any functions virtual or pure virtual, nada.
I’ve only subclassed the GameInstance, GameState, GameModeBase, Player Controller and Player State and added no other functions than what comes in these when loaded into UE. Definitely nothing is pure virtual on my end.
Ive even had the editor crash with this when Im doing nothing and just looking at my code in VS. Something else is the reason for this
I have created a new project from the 3d first person shooter C++ template, created a custom GameInstance class with no logic yet (so no custom made code involved in the game at this point).
And my Unreal Editor also crashed at random times (usually though when exiting PIE)

I have had it happen to me too. I’m on engine source build 4.25.1
I’ve made a custom game instance but also added steam multiplayer into the mix.
Though, this has also happened to me on a seperate project, which was made through launcher 4.25.3. It also had steam multiplayer (although most of it was rewritten) and custom GI.
Mostly crash when pressing PIE or exiting PIE, or even random clicking on stuff after being in editor for a while. Happens only sometimes and have not figured out a way to reproduce this consistently. I’ve also never been able to crash during debug editor mode. Which makes it extra hard to figure out what is happening. I have neither been able to crash in game through launch. Which makes me think this mostly has to do with PIE or development editor mode.

I’m not sure but I have not overriden the Initialize and Deinitialize Methods in my custom GameInstance. Did you guys override them? @MarcusRivers@Ballerunni
Since I have swapped back to the default GameInstance the crashes are gone. Maybe thats the problem?
I have overriden Shutdown and Init and also called super on both of them. Although my case might differ, as I also have a lot of code in my game instance such as online stuff.
I am currently just trying to double check and cleanup everything in my overriden shutdown, and also adding failsafes. If I dont get pure virtual are being called again after this, then it might just be that you have to override these two functions, call super and make sure everything is properly taken care of before it destroys itself.
I will reply back if I do not crash anymore after this.
Though, this issue seems to only really be related to when you PIE and do stuff in editor.
I have not crashed in game yet (with right click on uproject and click “launch game”), what about you guys?
Just Coming back to UE after a few months away, decided to convert a blueprint project to C++, this ‘bug’ or whatever is popping up every 10 minutes, driving me mad. I will try the fix above.
I noticed that this bug mainly appears if I compile a C++ project in the Visual Studio, and not in the unreal editor. If I compiled in the editor, this bug does not appear. I haven’t tested that much yet, but it looks like it’s a hot reload problem.
Additionally: this bug appears in the development build, and almost never in the debug build.
edit:
as a workaround, I switched back to the default GameInstance and am now using a game instance submodule. Haven’t had crashes for a few hours, so I assume that was the issue.
When you’re crashing out and don’t know why, run in debugger, and cause it to happen. That will either give you a lot more information, or send you on a wild goose hunt
However, this also points to the problem:
Having this happen, it’s definitely related to using a custom game instance class + PIE. I’m not even overriding anything.
Well, that’s what the error means – it’s expecting you to override functions.
you did say you’re using hot reload, so … not real familiar with that. live coding works great for me. it wouldn’t surprise me if it is an error caused by making changes that are incompatible with hot reload (or live coding).
I can also confirm that hot reload might be the issue, I get this same crash sometimes when I compile from visual studio or editor, you can increase the likelihood of this crash by adding new variables/functions and then hot reload.
