Hi!

Open your imported mesh in Mesh editor and check vertex count. If your mesh have over 65K vertex, try to reduce vertex count in 3DS and import it again and do test on mobile devices.

65K is limitation for Mobile system

hello,
its just a simple little box

Have you tried to create a project from a template (FPS or TPS), and then packaging it and deploy to Mobile?

And check also android API in SDK for your devices. For S5 you need add Android API21. And in UE4 in Project Setting in Platforms->Android SDK set NDK API Level latest or android-21, because in default android-19.

Maybe it help you.

Test it with Template. It only helps to restart the Engine if the Launcher crash the game on mobile.
after restart, it works a while.

Hey Pandagraphy,

Are you still having trouble with deploying to mobile devices? If so, which version of the engine are you using and what version of Android is your device updated to?

Thanks!

Hey ,

Which version of the engine are you working in? Are you on a source or binary build of the engine? What are your exact reproduction steps to achieve this crash?

Also, I need for you to provide me the from your mobile device.

  • Attach your phone to the computer
  • Go here: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
  • Open up Monitor.bat
  • Launch the program and save the

If you cannot get Monitor.bat to open, please go to:

  • C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\lib\monitor-x86
  • Open up Monitor.exe
  • Follow the instructions above

Make sure that you highlight all of the , because they do not save unless they’re highlighted.

Thank you!

Hi , Thanks for getting back to me.
Current Version is 4.11.1 and my version is binary coming directly from the Epic Launcher without any mods to source.

I have tested this issue on iphone 5 and 6. I don’t have android so I won’t be able to provide the you requested above.

I have pin pointed the exact cause as well.

  1. Open Editor and import fbx (Successfully)
  2. Deploy to mobile
  3. Launch Deploy it crashes.

NOW

If you follow these steps then everything works as intended.

  1. Open the editor

  2. Import FBX (Successfully)

  3. Close Editor

  4. Reload Editor

  5. Deploy to Mobile

  6. Everything Working As Intended.

So it seems like you have to just leave the engine after an FBX import then Deploying your mobile package corrects this issue.
