Can't get the server to stay open

[Steve_Barnes]

Hi folks,

Lots of nasty red text pops up in the log and then UE4Editor closes.

What does work…

UE4Editor **\PuzzlePlatforms.uproject -game -log (this works fine)

UE4Editor **\PuzzlePlatforms\PuzzlePlatforms.uproject /Game/ThirdPersonCPP\Maps\Default -game -log
(this also works fine so I know the map/level is ok)

So this should be fine but it fails miserably…

UE4Editor **\PuzzlePlatforms\PuzzlePlatforms.uproject" /Game/ThirdPersonCPP/Maps/Default?listen -server -log

Here is the red log text…

I don’t understand any of that… some error in SharedPointer.h ???

[Steve_Barnes]

Ok, I managed to fix the issue and will explain what it was in case someone else gets a similar error.

The key lines were:

DlgSystemEditor.dll!FDlgSystemEditorModule::ExtendMenu() [d:\build++portal+dev-marketplace+full\sync\localbuilds\plugintemp\hostproject\plugins\dlgsystem\source\dlgsystemeditor\private\dlgsystemeditormodule.cpp:338]

I did wonder why marketplace was even mentioned in the log for a new project. It turns out the culprit was a plugin (Dialogue System) which I enabled recently to have a look at. Disabling it fixed everything!

Is this something I should make the creator of the plugin aware of? Or is it something I did wrong on my end?
