Summary
guys ive been working on a map and i created a new material instance for the landscape. and it kept giving me an error every time i tried to push changes so i followed the error log and located it in the file path in fortnite projects and i deleted it. saved the file and tried to go back on my project and it keeps crashing. i launch other maps and it worked fine but everytime i tried to launch the map i made the material it keeps crashing. i went back into the file and added back what i deleted hoping i can get back on the map and just use a normal landscape material but it still keeps crashing.. does anyone know a fix to this or what i can do? any help or advice would be nice because ive spend endless hours building the map and decide to change the landscape paint last minute before publishing and i really dont want to lose a map because i made a mistake..
Steps to Reproduce
go to UEFN and under fortnite > landscape > material > create material instance. right click and make one or 2 in different layers. pushing changes give me an error that says
/Game/Athena/Environments/Landscape/Textures/T_Athena_Snow_01_M is the problem and a file path to find it, i found it in my documents under fortnite projects, opened up the folder, went to CustomLandscapeMaterial (what i named it) then i deleted /Game/Athena/Environments/Landscape/Textures/T_Athena_Snow_01_M from the file. reopened UEFN and launch my project and it keeps giving me a crash report. I went back to the file and put back in /Game/Athena/Environments/Landscape/Textures/T_Athena_Snow_01_M where it should be, saved the file again and launched a session and it keeps giving me the same crash report and I genuinely dont know how to fix it… im scared of losing my map because i put so much effort and endless hours into it and decide to change the landscape last second before publishing it…
Expected Result
when u launch the map it keeps giving a crash report. other projects loads fine but the one u deleted /Game/Athena/Environments/Landscape/Textures/T_Athena_Snow_01_M from in fortnite projects wont launch
Observed Result
It wont work and from the bottom of my heart i’d genuinely love if someone can help me fix this please…
