[solved] Crash when I try to build lighting

Community Community & Industry Discussion

Hello guys

I’m coming from Unity and try to find my way through UE4 :slight_smile: I’m sure I’m not alone with this problem. Every time I try to build the lighting of my scene, the editor (only the editor, not the OS) crashes. Please see the attached log below (covered in a SPOILER-wrap ^^).

My system is a Macbook Pro (mid 2014), macOS Catalina, i7 2.5GHz quad-core, 16 GB RAM, GeForce GT 750m 2GB and UE 4.24.2.
The scene shouldn’t be the problem as it happens even with the default Scene when starting a game-project (you know, that table and the two chairs). Overheating shouldn’t be the problem either, as the fans don’t even spin up. The SSD has a good amount of free space for virtual ram.

I see in the log something about missing filenames in Metal, but I have macOS on the newest version, as well as xcode.
Has anybody an idea what the problem could be?

Thanks and cheers
Maurus

That’s odd. I’ve just installed the new macOS update from this week, and suddenly it works. Didn’t do anything else than this, and open xcode and starting a null project, and then closing it again without saving.

Must have been either a corrupted os installation or something with xcode. Seems like you’d have to start xcode first at least once before you can build lighting properly.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’m having the exact same problem, but the Xcode thing hasn’t worked for me.
Up dated the OS, fast enough computer etc etc.

This is the error message.

Any ideas, would be really helpful!

Must be loads of people with the same problem, anyone found a work-around?
