UE 4.5 frequent crashing

UE 4.5 crashes regularly which UE 4.4 did not do (at least not that often). Now I cannot open my project (the specific level I am working on that is). I get a message telling me that the project pobably was made in a newer verision. I started making it in UE 4.4.3 but have been working with it in 4.5 since the update was launched. Anyone know what is going on?

Thx

Hello pkringen,

When you moved over to working with it in 4.5 did you use the convert-in-place option or did you open a copy? Also did you rename your level and or project?

I cant really remember but I have a copy, so I have at least done that. I do not get the make copy or convert questions now. UE 4.5 is still crashing a lot more than 4.4. Have you collected sufficient crashfeedback to pin point a specific problem? I did not rename my project.

Hey pkringen,

Here is a bit of clarification.

“Open a copy” (which makes a copy of your project, sets the version number to 4.5 and opens it)

“Convert in place” (which sets the version to 4.5 and opens it)

“Skip conversion” (which just opens it and lets you worry about the consequences)

Opening a copy of your project is usually the safest thing to do, unless you’ve already got your own backup or revision control system.

Also there is a hotfix coming out soon so that should help with the crashes you are experiencing.

Thanks,
