UE 4.12 Stops initializing at 35%

I started Unreal engine, 4.12.4, then 4.12.5 when it came out, and it stopped initializing at 35% and shows this:

97919-screen+shot+2016-07-10+at+12.03.28+pm.png

I have verified the engine 2 times, and reinstalled 2 times, with deleting the data left in /Users/Shared/Unreal Engine/4.12 It then shows the crash reporter screen with this stacktrace:

This error is stopping me from working on my project, so if please try to fix this ASAP.

Hey Codekrafter,

This is currently a known issue, UE-31175. This issue is being investigated by our developers; however, there is currently no timeline for when a fix will be released.

Let me know if you have any other questions regarding this issue.

Have a great day

Sigh, There are three solutions for this, without getting too involved for OS X. First is install 4.13.0 preview 1. Any version < than 4.12.5 will keep coming up with this error (except for 4.6 or 4.7, but that’s so far back!).

The second is very drastic. I created a separate account on my Mac, and logged in as it, then removed the Users/Shared/UnrealEngine/4.12 directory, went in as Epic Launcher, then reinstalled the 4.12.5 Engine.

Worked like a charm!

The final fix, which I confirmed worked after I did the above “new account” was deleting
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Epic/UnrealEngine/4.12/DerivedDataCache/Boot.ddc.

Wish I would’ve found that first.

As an update, UE-31175 was marked as a duplicate of UE-24658. So here is the link to the correct issue on the public bug tracker: Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-24658)
