Troubleshooting
Known issues
- The game can crash on startup. This is probably an issue with UE4SS, I can't fix it. However, if the game crashes frequently on startup, try setting bUseUObjectArrayCache to false in the UE4SS-settings.ini file.
Logging
You can see the logs in UE4SS.log or in the UE4SS GUI Console.
You can enable the UE4SS GUI Console in UE4SS-settings.ini in the [Debug] section.
