Anyone have any idea what’s causing this.

FYI I’ve tried a number of potential fixes, including drivers and clearing folders.

Hey

Are you getting a crash reporter pop up when the engine crashes? If so can you please upload the Machine ID that this popup reproduces? Also are you experiencing this problem in all projects even sample projects or only a specific project.

Thank You

It’s happening only in my project, in a couple of levels. It seems to be linked to a skylight. when there is no skylight, everything builds fine, but if I put a new skylight in it will cause the same crash. I’ve done several tests, including putting at least one of every asset used in a clean blank scene and no crash. Without fail though, there will be a crash if I have a skylight in one of the crashing scenes.

Hey

From the logs I am seeing and your description, can you take a look at the projects and levels that are causing this issue and look at the lighting setup for any references to a sky light listed as NULL. These references could be in blueprints or in the level itself. If found, delete them and save all.

Also, do you have any scene render actors in BPs or in your level?

The other option to get you back up and building is to do a lighting wipe and delete all lights and reflection actors in your level and rebuild them.

Let me know -

SO, it was sorted out by clicking “Build Lighting Only” There’s something else going on beyond just lights, our team is looking into it. Thanks for the help though!
