Editor crashes when loading project

The editor crashes when loading my project, worked last time i used it about 2 days ago.

The error I’m getting is :

!Id:09b23d54bcc754d31acc025c24ac8b95

i tried making a new project and copying my content files over but get the same error, any way to fix this or atleast save some of my content?

A bit of a hack, but I’ve had a few ocassions where this was happening; what seems to have worked was:

  • back up your project! (e.g. git commit)
  • in the crash dialog, look for any asset names (maps, blueprints, whatever) that occur “up top.” E.G. my last run-in with this was a mention of a “normal-locker” Blueprint asset.
  • rename or delete the affected assets
  • remove the “Intermediate” and other temporary files
  • launch Editor; Save All and/or Build to force it to walk your level(s)
  • quit Editor without doing any “real” work (i.e. no changes to assets you want to keep)
  • restore the offending files you deleted previously
  • re-launch editor and then do a fresh backup/commit.

I don’t have any idea whether this is caused by the same issue(s) you were having, but it seems to be a transaction-recovery type of bug; i.e. some kind of internal index thinks that something is in state “A” that has already changed to state “B,” but removing the object helps it to recognize the actual state of the object from the contents of the file.
