Fatal error:

[RedSandman]

Every now and again (1 in every ~10) when I press play (not for the first times in an editor session) I get this fatal error followed by a crash dump of the editor.

I’ve checked all the pointer assignments and protected them. It started about 4-5 videos ago. If I start the editor and press play it almost never crashes and in standalone mode outside of the editor, it rarely crashes.

It seems like something is being called before it is properly initialised.

I saw this too! In fact I keep getting it - it pops up about calling a pure virtual, hangs and crashes. I find it only seems to happen if I leave the machine for a few hours/overnight and often happens the next day.

It’s usually when I flick between Join and Host within the editor which makes me think it’s an issue with the Interface Abstract class/Interface that was created since it’s the only place with pure virtual functions. I was thinking of making the methods just virtuals - instead of = 0, do { } and this might solve the issue. Worth a try and while things may not work as intended, it might stop crashing.
