Do you have a crash report

#3

No I don’t because it just stops responding and I have to kill it from task manger, but when I reload it again it shows this message in message log load errors section.

Failed to load /Game/Levels/Level1_BuiltData.Level1_BuiltData Referenced by PersistentLevel

Can you compile your code directly in VS with CTRL + SHIFT + B (In windows)

Does your level open when you open your Editor?
This error seams to be a save issue, if your level is already saved, In the editor, you can try to duplicate it and move the original in a backup folder of your choice in your project Content directory. After Save All.

You can change the default map in Project Settings/ Map and Modes

I’m pretty sure @DanM could find the problem right away :grinning:

I tried it but it didn’t work, I appreciate your effort and I’m really thankful :black_heart: :black_heart:, guess I will wait for @DanM

Unreal Stops Responding Because Of This Infinite Loop

1st : While (i < 10) PrintLine() Here You Are Not Incrementing The Variable ‘i’ So PrintLine() Will Occur Infinite Number Of Times Because The Condition ( i < 10 ) Will Never False;

2nd : Same Thing You Did, Do This Things While Condition( j < 2) Is True. Here ‘j’ is Zero . And You Are Not Incrementing It, So It Will Be Always Zero.
