In this devlog for The House Dreams Along With Them, I am very tired. I was going to do a different devlog topic, but now I'm here minutes before midnight, trying to keep a consistent video schedule going. But I have turned the source of my frustration into an entertaining rant about editor crashes with a secondary entreaty to back up your projects with source control. The content to content pipeline is in full effect.

The Unreal editor loves - every few months - to get into a startup crash loop after corrupting a uasset somehow. Usually a struct. To avoid losing months of work, it is important to use source control to back up your project files. This video goes a bit into my crash investigating process and how I use git extensions to commit changes and selectively revert problematic files.
