Unable to open project editor when building from "master" branch

Development Platform & Builds

Hello Everybody,

The long winded version of this question can be found here. Essentially, I can build the “master” branch error free and build projects created using the “master” branch without any errors, except I am unable to open the project editor and I get a log file full of errors which I don’t understand. The log file can be found in the folder here.

Can anybody explain to me what the errors in the log file mean?

I have run into this same problem on multiple builds so help is greatly appreciated,

Hey

Since the master branch is constantly being updated it is possible that re-downloading the branch version may fix the problem and allow you to open a compiled project. The GitHub master branch can contain build/compile issues as it is highly untested and development on this branch is not recommended. Let us know if you have similar issues using other GitHub branches.

Cheers

Hello @,

Thank you for the response. I understand that the master branch is the most experimental and therefore the most unstable. The reason I am targeting the master branch is because I want to make an engine modification.

I think the problem I am having might have something to do with my local setup. I have tried updating the master branch and recompiling three times and the exact same error appears.

Do you have any advice on debugging the problem so that I can get started fixing it?

Are there any tools that I can use to debug this problem?

Hey

I did no receive the same error message that you posted however I am running into problems opening a project in the current master branch build. I’ve entered a report for this (UE-20603) for further investigation.

Cheers

This is an internal editor crash accessing a resource for the startup tutorial. We’ll have to figure out why it is crashing here. In the mean time I suggest you try this to work around it:

Navigate to your engine install directory and find \Engine\Config\BaseEditorSettings.ini. Then delete the line under

[/Script/IntroTutorials.EditorTutorialSettings]

that says

+StartupTutorial=/Engine/Tutorial/Basics/LevelEditorAttract.LevelEditorAttract_C

Save the file and start the editor.

Let us know if that works around the problem for now
