[SOLVED] UE4.22.3 Crashes 75% of the way into Launch

Hi,

I’m a UE4.22.3 user from South Africa.

For the past few hours UE4 Editor has been crashing on launch, reaching 73% or 75% and then gone.

Attached is a screenshot and the startup log dump.

UE4 crashes whether I launch with a project or without.

This exact same system config has been working 100% for days and weeks.

I should add that at the time of the first crash I had UE4 Editor open and then opened a 2nd copy which crashed. I could still use the first one until I closed it. The UE4 Editor has not successfully opened since then.

I did run the Verify tool but nothing improved.

Any help getting UE4 working again will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Paul

Just ran UE4Editor-Win64-DebugGame-Cmd.exe and the crash at 73% repeated with the following dump…

Unable to read VR Path Registry from C:\Users\ARROWHEAD\AppData\Local\openvr\openvrpaths.vrpath
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

Problem solved by reinstalling UE4.

I’m still no wiser to what caused this in the first place or what the proper fix should have been.

Thank you for everyone’s time.
