I switched from Linux UE4 to Windows UE4 because the Linux version did want to cooperate with mobile testing.
Now every 30 minutes or so the engine crashes. I am doing a lot of window switching during work. It seems to me that is causing it. When UE4 loses focus for 5 minutes or so it crashes. I have not experienced the game crashing while it had focus or i dont remember.
Sometimes UE4 is also not responding. This happens much less frequent. 3 times in 2 days.
I have googled and am reading others have no such problem.
I don’t understand this because i use a clean installation. My SSD is a week old.
I’ll keep this thread updated as I learn more. If you can help find the cause, let me know.
I took a 4 hour nap. When I came back UE4 was still running.
I switched windows to respond on a message in now its no longer responding. I can no longer alt-tab to it. The best I can do is mouse over the icon in the takbar when I mouse over the big thumbnail I see the window. But I can’t switch to it by clicking on it.
Later i get a popup: ‘Unreal Engine has stopped working, A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.’
My issue definitely has something to do with focus.
Right now i think my only option is to switch back from 4.19.1 on windows to 4.18 on linux,
