Hi

I have been working on a UE4 project and it has always crashing frequently on Mac os, but today when I reopened editor everything including editor UI had a weird glitchy color. My game looks like someone turned brightness way up and added a funky post processing effect, and editor just looks grey and washed out. It doesn’t happen when I open other projects, it is very weird. I posted a picture of it down below, along with how it used to look like (another project that works just fine alongside this new glitches one).

Note I didn’t mess with any settings and I don’t have any post processing volumes in my project. I was trying to add a media player texture for 20th time when it crashed again resulting in this.

Can you please provide logs for project? They can be found via Files > {Your Project Name} section in sidebar of Console.app in /Applications/Utilities.

It looks a lot like engine is running in ES2 emulation mode, so something is clearly not right.

Hi Priebe109,

I am not able to reproduce this on my end. Can you post logs as has requested so we can take a look?

Thanks!

Hi Priebe109,

Since we’ve not heard from you in a while I’m going to this as resolved. If you have any further information for us or can provide logs that have been requested above we would be happy to look into this further for you.

Thank you!

Hi!

Sorry I havn’t been able to answer until now. A busy week kept me from continuing work on my UE4 project. I solved problem simply by deleting media assets from my project. I will have to do without media assets unfortunately since I find it very unstable no matter what format I try to use on OS X :/.

Hi Priebe109,

Thanks for getting back to us. I’m sorry you’re having trouble with media assets, and what might help us solve these issues is logs generated from these crashes. If you have a moment to and attach crash log from project after one of these crashes, please do, as it could possibly go a long way in figuring out cause. Thanks!

Could elaborate on this possibly?

Can you list your repro steps for media texture issue. If this is causing issue I’d like to reproduce on my end and get a bug report in for that.

Thanks for any additional info you can provide!

I have a similar problem and was not sure if you wanted information on this issue. It only happens on a mac computer and once media assets are removed it works fine. Would you like me to send you something to replicate it and if so what do I send? Thanks

If you have a sample project that can reproduce issue, I’d be happy to take a look and see if I see same on my end. Just attach a link project here or you can send me a PM on forums.

Thank you.
