Hi guys,
yesterday I left Unreal to build my scene and it crashed. After that I can’t open this project anymore. I can start over, only few days of testing in it, but still. What to do? I guess the scene, or level file is broken. Does Unreal make backups?
Thanks
This is a good time to consider using a version control system. I suggest you take a look at the following thread: https://forums.unrealengine/showthread.php?27758-Start-using-version-control!&highlight=version+control
For your current problem: I’m afraid I can’t help you
-post your crash log -> documents/unrealproject/your project/saved/logs/the file which gets generated after the crash
-report it on answerhub -> https://answers.unrealengine/
-which engine version do you use?
-what happens when you copy the content folder into another project?
-you can use the autosave + backup files which you can find in the saved folder (the upper mentioned path)
Thanks…hm, my docs unrealproject folder is empty. I’m on 4.7.6
I found those backups but I can’t open them either.
Edit…found the logs…if it’s ok, I’ll post it here.

Try opening the Levels in the Autosaves Folder.
If everything else fails you can remove Blueprints from your assets folder and try to open the project until you figure out which blueprint instance in level is causing the crash.
Takes time and is boring, but works.
This post was 4 years old - I guess he found a workaround by now.
Anyway - Another good thing to try would be to delete the config, intermediate and saved folder of the project. They all get recreated next time you start the project
Thanks S-Dot that helped me out
