When I start the project in the editor it plays perfectly fine with no errors or warnings. However starting the game in standalone will result in a new window that just displays a black screen before crashing. Here is the error as it appears in the logs.

I tried packaging the game but it won’t start at all when I do that. Standalone works perfectly fine in other projects but I have not tried packaging those other projects. Really what I want is to get standalone working.

Hi zhegames,

When you crash, are you also getting a Callstack? If so, can you post the Callstack here along with your Epic ID/Machine ID? Also, make sure to submit the Callstack popup.
