Hi,
The other day I attempted to open a memory-intensive project on a laptop with 4GB of RAM. My laptop ran out of memory before the opening and shader compiling completed and my system force-closed the editor with the loading screen around 95%. Before attempting to open that project, the UE4 ran successfully on my laptop; I had been using it regularly for about a month. After the memory error, I cannot open any project or the editor. It always freezes at 83% (the “…” no longer moves) and I have to eventually kill the process. The Unreal Engine process also seems to stop doing things at this time, only using a small amount of memory and almost no disk usage. This is not only true with my launcher-downloaded build of the engine, but also a custom build from source using Hairworks. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the launcher and the 4.11 engine, but I still end up with the same problem - I can’t get any project or editor build to open without the loading screen freezing up. I’ve left the process running for at least an hour and it still stays at 83%.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
