Why does my game keep freezing when I try to play test?

I’m new to unreal engine so please bear with my general lack of knowledge surrounding things. I’m trying to make a small scale open world game for a class project but every time I try to play the game it freezes and my character disappears from the screen after 10-20 seconds of running. The spawn mechanics have also been glitching, if I move the player Start instance away from where it is now it spawns my character under the map, and spawn from here does the same thing no matter where I click. I think it’s spawning me at 0,0,0. I don’t know If these could be related at all.

Hi @Azateoro

Welcome back to the Unreal Forum! I’d start by checking your landscape or floor mesh and making sure the collision is enabled and set to block all. Also, I’d double check your player start location. In the details panel you can check "Spawn Collision Handling Method and set to adjust location and always spawn.
