Unreal Engine 5.2.1 crashes when selecting assets on the level

xtraxpert · December 8, 2023, 1:24am

Hello i am messing around with metahumans and it used to work perfectly fine but i took a few months break due to school and now whenever I select for example my metahuman it just crashes unreal with no crash logs or anything i checked the crash log in the appdata folder and its blank so I am not sure what to do thanks. (I did verify files/integrity already)

Greetings @xtraxpert

Welcome to the Unreal Engine Community Forums! In regards to the crashing, does this occur on multiple UE Versions? Also, I’d double check the location where the assets are saved to ensure they’re still there/unchanged as well. Let me know if that helps. If not, we can look into some additional options. Thanks!

Hello, i havent tried any other versions but i imported a new meta asset which replaced an existing one and when i click on that it also crashes with no errors but if i select it in the level outliner its perfectly fine and i checked its still in the proper location

Is it only this project that is having this issue? Also, were you able to double check the folder and ensure that all of the files for the project are still there and that you have proper folder access to load them? I’d also recommend trying to create a new folder all together inside your D:\Build folder that does not have any special symbols/characters/etc and then try it there as well. Keep me posted how that goes. Thanks!

Having the same issue on 5.4.3. Did you find out a solution?

Kurramm · August 14, 2024, 6:02pm

Found a solution finally here;

Try deleting the DerivedDataCache folder from the Engine install directory. Also, under Settings, disable any 3rd party plugins (ie. Substance) if open.

Also, in pre-existing projects, in the Project Folder, delete the Intermediate and Saved folders. Then, open the project, and select “Contents” in the Content Browser and select “Fix up redirectors…” and save project.
