Try the workaround I found! I’m having the same issue. > [@\[Critical\] UEFN Crashing when opening project](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/workaround-uefn-crashing-when-opening-project-critical/816361): > > Evidence: Straight crashes as soon as I open this map in UEFN. Other maps open just fine. This issue began after running the memory test, getting test code, and trying to publish on the website last night. Was having issues with publishing and now this morning my map that had no issues last night is crashing. Was hoping to playtest with some friends today, but the whole entire map is glitched. Super frustrating. But it is what it is with a beta release. If replicable, how: Literally j… Basically, to get into my project… I have to first open another project that will open and then open my project after and it works. Let me know if this works for you because I have a question afterwards. ---

@Frizles I managed to find your crash internally and we are investigating. To help us out, would it be possible for you to share your UEFN project here or through DM? ---

No it doesn’t work for me. But what’s your question? ---

Depending on where you saved your `.uefnproject`, could you paste the Verse code that you have in your project here? Or, if it’s not able to be publicly shared, please send that in a DM. ---

My question was if it worked for you: Were you having issues with devices not showing up in the session? I have this same issue, and when I am able to get my project to run the way I stated, then all fortnite assets are not visible in game and any of the ones I’ve imported are. It’s super strange. ---

@Frizles, thanks for sharing your code snippet privately. The issue there was due to a bug in the code generation that was being triggered by a syntax error. We will fix this. @hanus35, the cause of your issue sounds different (an access violation can happen for many different reasons). Could you go into more detail about what you’re experiencing and how you’re currently working around it (preferably in a new thread)? ---
