Hello everyone,

My project is constantly crashing after I noticed the “Engine” file went missing in the details pane of the editor…

I’ve tryed launching my autosave umap assets by places them in the map folder and trying to launch.

Does anyone have any suggestions, also I am not sure if i am launching the auto saves correctly.?

Here is a copy and paste from crash log .

Edit: Attachments of project log and crash as well as system specs have been attached in the below post .

Hi there,

Could you please attach the files and Info on your system that are detailed here: How do I report a bug? - Programming & Scripting - Epic Developer Community Forums

This will help us determine the cause of the error you are receiving. Thank you!

3

I had to rename the dump file in order to attach it… My version build is VERSION: 4.5.1-2336687+++depot+UE4-Releases+4.5

This is still unresolved, any ideas anyone ?

Hi ErrolGR,

Are you having this issue with all projects, or just this one?

6

Just this project…

7

The crashing came out of no where, I had noticed I was missing the Engine folder in the content browser then I went to restart my computer and when I started Unreal editor back up it started to crash.

Another note, Is there detailed instructions on how to recover from autosaves? I’ve looked around and cant find much, I was unsure on how to open the umaps without actually having the project open.

8

Placing the autosave in the maps folder (alongside the corrupted map) and then opening it from within the editor should open the autosave.

I don’t know what caused your Engine folder to disappear, but if you migrated your intact assets to another project, you’d be able to recover them.

If you could find out what caused your Engine folder to disappear, giving us steps that would allow us to reproduce the problem would be very helpful.

9

This is very weird, I was able to get my project going again after I changed the default launch map to Minimal_Default, Then in the editor I was able to change the map to my actual game map…

Thoughts on what I should do next to prevent this from occurring again ?

10

Without knowing what caused the error, it’s difficult to know what steps could be taken to avoid it in the future. If your engine folder disappears again, then trying to find out what you were doing just before that would be useful. Of course, backing up your project periodically is the safest way to prevent any possible corruption or data loss.

Hey ErrolGR,

We haven’t heard from you in a while, so I’m marking this question as Resolved. If you’re still having trouble with this issue, comment and we’ll reopen the thread.

Regards,

Jonathan
