After a long painful period of desperation caused by the aforementioned bug, I think I have found a system that works…and I submit it for your sanity’s sake.
If you are having your Forge session crash during Nav Mesh generation, and can’t figure out why, and you are confident that your navigable areas are logically solid, and you’ve placed any nav cutters where you feel they may need to be and it still crashes, try the following:
- Forge what you need to finish…
- Save your map.
- LEAVE FORGE
- Restart Forge (select “latest version”)
- As SOON as you respawn in your map, before touching ANYTHING, Generate your Nav Mesh…then lighting, reflection volumes, & audio.
Once I started following this method, it has worked successfully for me every time, after previously failing EVERY TIME.
If this helps a single person, then my efforts have been worthwhile.
If this helps you, or fails for you, please drop a comment below!
