(4.8.0 P4) Crash on Launch

Hey CSandeman-

Could you give us a bit more context on the crash you’re getting? Is this happening when you launch the editor or when you try to play in editor? Is this happening in a new project or a project you converted over to the preview? Please provide details as to when this crash occurred and what you were doing at the time.

Cheers

Sorry for being so vague…looks like the text I wrote wasn’t included in the original message. The crash was happening when I was launching from the editor. I reinstalled 4.8.0 and imported the Rift Template and the error has gone away but now when I click Launch under 4.8.0 the program thinks about launching it but doesn’t launch at all (attached image).

Hey CSandeMan-

If you’re having problems with opening versions of the engine it may be helpful to restart the computer. If this doesn’t help then try removing the Rift Template and then try launching again.

I restarted my computer and then removed the Rift Template and now I am back to receiving this crash report…

Hey CSandeman-

In the Launcher can you click the drop down arrow under where it says Preview 4 and select the Verify option? If you are still unable to open the preview then you may want to Remove that particular version and try re-downloading it.

Thanks , after restarting my computer and clicking Verify I was able to launch 4.8 preview.
