I’ve been working on a project in Unreal for the past couple days on a Mac. Ventura 13.3.1
The project has been working fine until I shut down my computer earlier today. I reopened and suddenly the project won’t reopen. It keeps crashing at 40% initialization. I tried opening any of my other projects and they all keep having the same issue. Below is the error code I’m receiving. I have no idea what a “worldgrid material” is as I have not implemented one in the project. Is the only solution here a fresh install of the program?
Another note: one of my other projects DID reopen, but then it just suddenly stopped.
I’ve tried just “Launch Unreal Engine 5.3.2” but it also encounters the same error at 40% initialization. What can I do here? I’m mid project with a draft due Friday. Any help here would be amazing.
