Why does my Engine Crash when trying to run with source control?

Development Pipeline & Plugins

I have tried this on several different version 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6 any time I enable run with source control it gets to the setup window then crashes. Is there a fix for this? I have also ran it on new projects as well as existing projects. I have followed the documentation instructions. There was one thing different and that is it would not let me add the Uproject file. When browsing it wasn’t even visible and it wouldn’t let me change any filters.

Please help need a solution asap

Thanks Mates

Hi,

If you can provide us with some more info we would be glad to help!

  • What source control provider are you using?
  • What is your project name (so we can recover your crash dumps if they got sent to our server)?
  • Do you have any log files that you can post here?
  • What program are you using to attempt to add the uproject file? What is the error message it gives you?

Also, as per the documentation instructions, certainly your uproject file should be under source control.

Hi Tom,

I am trying to run Perforce.

Here is the documentation i followed.

My project name is Qrazy_Carz

I am trying to get you a log file now but it has been awhile since I have had to pull one what is the file format I need to convert it to so I can post it here?

I followed the documentation step by step.
To add my files I used P4V

All the files were there except it didn’t read the uproject file type.

Ill get you the log files just need help remembering how to convert them and attach them to my comment.

Thanks Mate,
Dan

Thanks for the info! Log files are just text files and are found in [PROJECTDIR]/Saved/Logs.

From initial investigations, it looks like you have a similar (but not identical) issue to this AnswerHub post.

Sorry that is not the solution.

I uninstalled Perforce got rid of its leftover files.
Then re installed it and set up my user name and work space
Then went into my project tried to initialize source control
it opened up with the right user name and connection
Then a couple seconds later crash kaboom.

Now time to attempt something new.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Mate

I think I have narrowed it down a little

It will not crash until i put in localhost:1666
How can I diagnose my localhost
Can I set it up on server side and run it from there?

FWIW, you do not need to use your localhost as your server (as is demonstrated in the doc), you should enter your connection information to connect to whatever server you need to. However, connecting to a local server should not crash! Do you have a log file as mentioned above? With that we should be able to put together something close to a call stack and diagnose your issue further.

The above referenced AnswerHub was reporting that the crash was caused by his VPN software - could this be the case here as well?

I can get you the log file I just don’t know how to post it in here. It says that the txt. is incompatible. I have rebuilt UE4 from the source code off of git hub and the issue is still there. It has to be an issue when it try’s to locate and connect to localhost:1666. I am trying to work inside perforce to see why?

I see - it used to work :frowning:
Dropbox perhaps?
