Random crashing and not giving me a chance to find out the issue… checked the log files and no luck, not sure why its crashing especially when I go into play mode and launch my character blueprint, please help me out I worked hard on this and I can’t just restart all over again, this is horrible… it even crashes when I try to access Maps and game modes in “Project Settings” … Please…

I don’t care if its a deleted file issue, I will dummy it or whatever as long as it launches, its not a big issue compared to losing all my work and starting all over again.

Please create a new project and see if it also crashes if you do that.

It doesn’t crash, clearly something with my project, I did create multiple new projects. I even thought of starting from scratch but its not really worth it, I’ve come a long way.

I just started a new project, changing variables around and getting random crashes on compiling again, wth.It’s _ **Unreal** _ how much it crashes.

In the recent days i didn’t encounter much crashes so far, it seemed mostly becuase of conflicting blueprints, missing or deleted parents and deleted nodes etc… (which imo should be automatically cleaned anyway). But so far its smooth now 🙂

Glad to hear you are no longer experiencing the crashes. If the crash reoccurs, please create a new Answerhub post in the Bug Reports section, and provide as much information as possible.
