Unreal Project hard crash after deleting Starter Content

Hi all,

I just completed lecture 189 “Using the Reference Viewer” in which we went through deleting starter content, and now I can’t open the Unreal Studio BattleTank project. It gets to 45% and then hard crashes. I tried restoring the backup of the starter content folder to the BattleTank folder, and I tried using version control to go back, neither worked. Can anyone offer a solution?

Update: the crash logs say that the asset ‘WorldGridMaterial’ is missing. This is in Engine, not StarterContent, so I’m not sure why.

Managed to fix the crash: simply had to ‘verify’ my version of Unreal Engine in the Epic Games Launcher. I now can’t apply any materials or textures to anything though.
