Packaged Mac Shipping build crashes on startup

Hey folks,

I’m trying to make a Packaged Shipping build for the first time, on Mac OS X. The packaging seems to work, but when I double-click the generated .app it crashes.

I’m using:

  • the GitHub version of UE4, (origin/4.2)
  • OS X 10.9.2
  • Xcode Version 5.1.1 (5B1008)

Here’s the log:

SIGSEGV: invalid attempt to access memory at address 0x28

I’m retrying this using an unmodified Flying C++ sample. That should give a good baseline.

The unmodified flying sample works fine, so I guess this is something that I’m doing wrong. Interestingly, it took over 3 hours to package on a MacBook Pro non-retina 13". This seems excessive.

Hello,

Thank you for your report. We were not able to investigate this on the engine version you reported, but there have been many version changes to UE4 since this question was first posted. With a new version of the Engine comes new fixes and it is possible that this issue has changed or may no longer occur. Due to timetable of when this issue was first posted, we are marking this post as resolved for tracking purposes. If you are still experiencing the issue you reported in the current engine version, then please respond to this message with additional information and we will investigate as soon as possible. If you are experiencing a similar, but different issue at this time, could you please submit a new report for it.

Thanks!
