My project crashes sometimes on startup and level change, only in a packaged build.
The crash logs lead me to believe it’s due to a bad reference:

Is this assumption correct?
Here’s where things get weird: Putting IsValid checks before everything didn’t solve it, though I could have missed something. I then tested builds after removing chunks of blueprint code. When I begin removing variables from player controller and their references, it crashes less. When I remove everything in player controller, including all variables, it never crashes. However, if I leave only a single completely unreferenced widget variable in player controller, I get crashes. Why is this? Why is it crashing over an unreferenced (internally or externally) variable? What are my next steps, and what can I do to resolve this?
Other info:
- Packaging from editor
- 0 errors, 0 warnings when I play in editor or standalone, cook, or package
- Created a fresh project and migrated over all project files. Still crashing.
At my wit’s end. Someone from Epic please help. #SamanthaDoYouReadMe
