Attempting to Play In Editor immediately results in a crash as soon as attempting to use it on a project file that has been updated from 4.7.6 to 4.17.1. I believe that the same problem existed when trying to update from 4.7.6 to 4.16.3 as well. Other parts of the project look fine, but the play in editor button just immediately freezes unreal and results in the crash. I have no idea what to do, as this prevents me from updating my project file to use newer features. This is quite a dilemma. Can anybody please offer some troubleshooting advice?
If not, I implore you to attempt this yourself. You can probably just as easily recreate the issue on your end.
