Hello Holychant,

I have been unable to reproduce this issue on our end. 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 more detailed list of steps to reproduce this issue on our end?
  3. Could you provide screen shots of any settings/blueprints that may be involved with this issue?

My team is also experiencing this same issue. No projects are involved in creating this crash. After pressing launch for 18.1 in the Epic Games Launcher in order to setup a new project, the engine will crash. I can also confirm that it always happens at 79%.

Opening the engine and our 18.1 VR project on computers that do not have SteamVR installed has no issues.

Crash only happens on computers that have SteamVR installed for use with HTC .

As Graeme_Crackers says.

You can not run the engine with steamvr installed.

I can not make a clean project

The problem only appears in version 4.18.1.

Works fine in previous versions

After doing some digging I was able to find that this is a known issue. I have provided a link to the public tracker. Please feel free to use the link provided for future updates.

Make it a great day

I confirm issue. Issue is preventing us from running 4.18 because it happens each time we run engine.
