[4.9] Crash when opening new editor window

The way to replicate the issue mentioned above:

  • set preview rendering level to mobile/html5
  • add a light source with “cast modulated shadows” turned on - it is optional, but that’s what I wanted to see
  • play from new editor window (mobile doesn’t work anyway)
  • Crash

Basically, there is no way on 4.9 to view what a mobile render would look like, normal pc previewer works.

Hi Andras2014 -

I have been trying to replicate your crash in 4.9.0 and have been unsuccessful so far. I am able to preview in both PIE, PIE (Mobile Preview) and PIE (New Editor Window) with no issues.

Have you tried replicating this issue in a Blank Project with no starter content? Are there any settings in the project that is experiencing this crash which you have not listed above?

Thank You
