FIX
Upgrade to the lastest UDS release.
Removing the UDS folder loads the level. Dropping latest UDS works, but dropping the UDS-Weather extension results in instant crash - will continue later.
UPDATE
After launching a fresh project a small download for a VC C++ Redistributable came up, and then deploying UDS, including the weather extension did not crash the editor, same with the initial project.
TLDR
This crash is related to UDS weather extension and a missing C++ Redistributable (in a non source project) which was fixed by launching a fresh base project, which prompted the missing download. However, it crashed again and required more edits, for now continue UDS without the weather extension.
Hat tip to CMDR Nemysis007 from the UDS Discord who helped me sort this out.
