An Unreal process has crashed: UE4-PanzerCorps2

[Der_Kuenstler]

I get this crash and message after finishing the first scenario (Seville) in the Spanish Civil War campaign. It happens over and over after several restarts and different settings tried. It happened in version 1.1.21 and still happens in version 1.1.22. It worked fine a week ago when I was doing a losing campaign but I then restarted it with different commander traits and now it won't work.

Never mind - I seem to have solved it by emptying the game cache.

Hello,

I'm having the same issue. How do I empty the game cache?

Thanks!

Morning..Thank you for the idea above, but that did not fix the issue.Same error is on the title of the thread(UE4-Panzer Corp2).

Is there a way to uninstall the game and reload it with still saving the save game file.

I'm old and not very good with tech. so any basic level help would be greatly appreciated.

[VPaulus]

The save files are in your Windows documents folder (...\Documents\My Games\Panzer Corps 2\Saves)
So you would need to back them up.Then uninstall the game and delete ...\Documents\My Games\Panzer Corps 2 folder.
After having installed the game you would need to copy the backup files back to their original folders.

As for downloading, you can download games and patches/updates from your account’s download area provided they are registered to the account. Please see the forum post below which explains how to do this:

von Paulus,

Thank you for the one on one help.

saved game save files

Uninstalled game, deleted PZ2 corp folder

Installed the game again from Steam(where I bought it from)

Same error. As soon as I hit the load game tab, it crashes.

Dont see the Serial number , as bought it from steam.
Bummed I can play at all now.

Any other ideas?

Thanks, the Zek(another von)

Replay the Campaign.

[the_zek]

Morning,

If it was that easy. After reloading the game from Steam(so starting at zero), anytime I hit the load game tab, i.e. try to save any new game i get the same crash. I cant save any games or load any games at all.

Also your "replay the campaign" answer is not a 10 minute answer. Have two campaigns going at different levels. The answer is just dump those and start from the Spanish DLC again. Not that that would even work as I cant save or load at all.

[VPaulus]

Can you try going to Windows Defender and disabling the option "Controlled Folder Access". The below forum post explains how to do this, check the Solution section:

[the_zek]

Thank you,

I'll try that in a second. I'll aslo try to run the game oin my steam on my son's computer and see if that works.I will advise.

[the_zek]

Hello v. Paulus,

The Defender was already off, so that was not it...but after I logged onto steam and played on my son's machine, then uninstalled it on my machine and reloaded it works great!!!!

Not sure why, but victory!!

Thanks again for all the one on one help

All,

Had this error - my computer crashed and then the game kept crashing. I tried the cache but it kept crashing. I deleted the last auto save before crash from my saved folder and it worked. Not sure if you have to do both steps but I am happy it works - thanks to all who posted on this issue.
