Hi
I tried to be smart and make generic buttons and backgrounds for my menus.
However i get a “REINST” message, when project is reloaded.

I read around that it is caused by cyclic dependencies, so i tried to reconfigure one of them using interfaces, however this doesn’t seem to solve the problem.

The other one is just a widget that shows information, and doesn’t need to pass information onward, so i can’t figure out why this even is a REINST error.

Above is all of the functions on the button. The custom macro only contains a reference to the game instance where it retrieves some data.

In some of the other Widgets they seem to work fine enough.
Anyone have any idea on what causes it to give a occational REINST error?
Or should i just try and delete them and recreate them again?

Hello Fjordhoj,

I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.

Quick questions:

  1. Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project?
  2. If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps to reproduce this issue on our end?
  3. Could you provide screen shots of the blueprints/widgets use to reproduce this issue?
  4. Could you try right clicking on your widgets in your content browser and use the reference viewer to find potential circular references?

I personally cannot reproduce this issue. It poped up, after adding “buttons”, or a function, to existing or related widgets.

I was able to fix my REINST oddity, with the following secret steps.
