Greetings so I have finished a project and when I went to package it, right after clicking the package project button the editor freezes for a split second and then crashes giving me this message. I also tried packaging other projects but I am met with the same issue as mentioned above.

I have tried to search but couldn’t find a fix for it or a lot of people with similar errors as this one. If anyone has any idea of what this could be it would be of great help. The following is the full message I get maybe it could help find what’s wrong.

Many thanks in advance!

Currently getting the same error on 5.3.2
Trying to look into and figure out why. Would appreciate any answers if anyone knows

Try installling the debug symbols to get better error handling (precise errir messages). Post them once you have more information.

I followed the following video to get debug symbols on 5.3 and after it was installed I tried to package my project and the engine didn’t crash out-right! It was able to create a build successfully! Thanks @3dRaven !

Glad you were able to make progress. Best find what the error mentions and try to fix it, just in case so you don’t get a runtime error in the future.
