Typically we donā€™t save or modfiy files inside the engine folder. Make a copy (or use ā€˜save asā€™) to your project folder (content) and give another try.

Iā€™ve moved this over to the World Creation subforum. Itā€™s a better location to ask this type of question. :slight_smile:

I got the same thing a couple of times. Looks like a bug. Here is a video.

Hey

Looks like this is a bug related to Auto Save in the engine.
In order to prevent this from happening - go to Edit => Editor Preferences => search at the top bar ā€œAuto Saveā€ and turn off the checkbox.

It should fix it.

Cheers

Having the exact same issues as well. Is there any other option then the auto-save idea?

Iā€™m getting this as well.

Same, driving me nuts. And when trying to unload the level (opening another level), the editor crashes.

Same problem with UE 5.0.3

Will give this a try, thanks!

I managed to fix it like this:

  • I had a material on an actor, and the material was under the ā€œEngineā€ folder.
  • I replaced the material on the actor with a new material, which was not under the ā€œEngineā€ folder.

Probably meshes and other stuff under ā€œEngineā€ cause the same behavior. I think weā€™re dealing with a genuine bug, but at least thereā€™s a workaround (hopefully it will work for you too).

For me, it was just numbered autosaves. I simply deselect them (donā€™t save the autosaves) and move on.
