Greetings @saxxson! Let’s see if we can figure this one out.

From similar scenarios, the solution for this type of crash is to reset all local settings and customizations, which can be done by deleting the fileEditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini found at C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\UnrealEditorFortnite\Saved\Config\WindowsEditor

Further details can be found in the following thread, as seen here:

As some folks have mentioned here and in other topics, a reliable path for resolving the crash is to reset all local user and editor settings. Disclaimer: While this will stop the editor from crashing and preserve all of your core project data, you will lose any local editor customizations and settings you’ve made (such as the layout of editor windows) and some data cached for your convenience (such as your project panel being sorted by most recently accessed) will be reset. If you’d like to…

Hope this helps!
