I am currently unable to open the project file I am working on as UE5 crashes when I try to open it. The project worked fine and opened without problems just moments before, and I can’t think of anything in the project that could have caused an issue.

Following error screen:

Which gives me very little to go on. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this issue and how I can recover my project?

I already tried updating to the latest version of UE (5.02), but hat didn’t help.

Edit: I can open the project again after removing all saved levels (umap files) from the content directory. It appears to be an issue with all levels, and not just one in particular, because it only opens if I remove all of them.

Why are these files suddenly corrupted and is there a way to recover the saved levels?
Btw: these levels are completely unchanged compared to when the project worked fine.
