I want to open a project I was working on half a year ago, but I an’t open the project. The project was created with 4.12 and now I am using 4.14. I tried to open it on a pc with 4.12, 4.13, and 4.14 installed but I never was able to open it. When I try to open it with 4.12, I can see the progress growing upto 96% then the splashscreen disappears and thats it. The editor doesn’t show up and nothing else happens. When I create a copy of the project in 4.14 the editor crashes on startup.
On the other machine I have only installed 4.14 and the same crash occures when I want to open the converted project. I used the old mediaframework in the 4.12 project is this maybe leading to the crashes?
Has anybody an idea what is causing those problems?
hmm no good news. I have tried it multiple times now. I have kopied the 4.12 project to my local drive and tried to convert it from there but it still crashes when opening the project.
I have checked my memory usage. When UE reaches nearly 80% my RAM usage climbs very fast up to 7gb for the editor and then crashes. Is there a maximum RAM usage for the engine implemented?
Like I mentioned in step 1 I start the editor by launching 4.14 from the launcher. There I select my 4.12 project and choose open copy (or cinvert in place) then the I can see the progress running up to something about 90% and the RAMusage of the project jumps tonearly 8gb and then it crashes…
When I tried to open the project on the other machine that had version 4.12 installed, I did the same (launching from the launcher and select the project) and there the progressbar is shown too. But when it reachs 100%, the window disappears (like it should I guess) and then nothing happens… The editor window does not show up.
If you need more info please feel free to ask.
Tomorrow I will have accsess to the machine with the 4.12 version installed, so then I can check there some more stuff…
Do both machines you have tested on have the Victory Plugin? I have noticed in your log that the project could not find that plugin.
Does this Plugin used in the Project you are trying to convert? Upgrading with content dependent on a plugin may result in an error when converting your project.
Here are some steps I would like you to take to help narrow down your issue:
Open your .uproject file in Notepad (or Notepad ++ if you have it) and Find the Victory Plugin and set its “enabled” to false. This will have your project stop looking for that specific Plugin
Take your current startup map and move it out of your project. Your latest crash shows your project ran out of memory, and your startup map may be causing that issue.
