hi @GraemeBB

Long time ago my VS Code broke and found the VS Code binary kit at

C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Fortnite\VSCode\VSCodeSetup-x64-1.78.1.exe

When this had installed then opened Verse from UEFN and did the requested update when opening

VS Code now works so well that a external plugin to do a color formatted print works an never had another crash similar to the one you have its the java engine.

Loading the Verse.vsix may help as well. Right Click “Open with Code” - Vs Code

Not sure if this is changes on an update to UEFN, but did get modified in the 21st April patches.

Reinstalling did nothing for my case. I have no idea what the other file does, opened up a binary file or something. Nothing changed the crashing.
