My project will not open at all and just keeps crashing. I’ve tried following the steps here, but after asking if I want to generate everything again, it crashes before finishing.
Is there any way to get the project files up to this point? I really don’t want to start again on the project.
Are you talking about the VS project (solution) or the Unreal Engine one (.uproject or something like that)?
Could you post a screenshot of the error (if any)?
The Unreal project. I can open the VS solution and it compiles with no errors, but trying to open Unreal results in a crash.
Have you tried the procedure Ben described in the course? Deleting all derived file, then issuing the “generate visual studio project files” from the Windows context menu?
I have, and no joy 
I think I’m going to start again, on the project. I’d prefer not too, but doing it all a second time should be a lot quicker and easy to follow.
Then sorry, I have no idea, maybe it’s better to start fresh (and use the version control - sourcetree - so you can recover easier in such cases 
).
My thoughts exactly. I started again last night and set up a new source tree folder that I’m going to use a lot more often. Live and learn!
