Crash opening project - Unknown exception - code 00000001

Hi,
I am using Unreal Engine 4.9 previews for learning purpose.
I made a small set and did lighting to it.
Everything was going smooth.
I tried adding sky light and build it.
It stated to crash.
Now It crashes even without any project (from Epic games Launcher)

I tried many fixes as mentioned on your website like cpoying project on desktop, deleting config, saved folder etc.
But nothing is useful.
Kindly look into matter and do the needful.
Thanks in advance

Hello Darshan -

Looking at your logs, it looks like you might have added some information to either WorldGridMaterial or DefaultMaterial. Please try the following steps:

  1. Open the Launcher
  2. Go to the Library
  3. On the Preview Engine Button, press the down arrow and Verify the Engine
  4. Try to open your project

If this does not succeed try the following addition

  1. Before Opening the Launcher go to C:\Program Files\Epic Games\4.9\Engine\Content\EngineMaterials in Windows Explorer
  2. Find DefaultMaterial.uasset and WorldGridMaterial.uasset
  3. Copy those Files to your Desktop (These are backups.)
  4. Delete them from the …\Content\EngineMaterials directory
  5. Repeat steps above and Verify the Engine.
  6. After test opening project, if there is a problem, go back to C:\Program Files\Epic Games\4.9\Engine\Content\EngineMaterials in Windows Explorer
  7. Make sure the two deleted files have been re-added to your Directory, if not then copy them from your Desktop back into this directory

Let me know the results of your test -
