For anyone running into this issue, it appears that a simple workaround is to click save on your level.

Not sure if this is the correct protocol, but i found a similar issue when using PHAT to create the physics asset, I followed the old UE4 tutorial for the most part : PhAT: Adding the Arms & Finishing Body | 07 | v4.2 Tutorial Series | Unreal Engine - YouTube

I also used M to mirror and found that mirroring a Leg from LEFT to RIGHT was a bit problematic (Im using InfinityLands cardboard character)

After i was done, I saved all - Closed the windows and tried to play, I got the error

“cant PIE when performing Move Constraint”

Saved all
Closed UE4
It Crashed after closing

Hello Nemecys,

This sounds like a separate issue. I will need you to create a new thread with more information for tracking purposes. After the thread is created you can then come back and post a link in a reply so that someone can follow up. I have provided some questions below that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing. Providing these answers in you new thread would be helpful.

Questions for new thread:

  1. What engine version are you using?
  2. Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project?
  3. Could you provide a detailed list of steps to reproduce this issue on our end?
  4. Could you provide screen shots of any blueprints/settings that may be involved with this issue?

I had this issue and found that restarting the Unreal Editor resolved the issue.
