GameAssetDatabase Checkpoint Re-creation Crash

[Cors]

When I start the editor, it prompts me to re-create the GameAssetDatabase checkpoint file then asserts on line 560 in Array.h.

I am running Windows 7. I have set all the executables in the binaries folder to "Run as administrator".

Is there a way to force a rebuild of this database? Someone committed one on a svn repo that im in, and that seems like its a bad thing.

Hey, I was just having this problem too and I think I may have found the cause. It looks like the Editor is saving the JournalAlarmTime in the system regional date format, or some corruption of it.

After running the editor once, I found this in UTEditorUserSettings.ini:


[GameAssetDatabase]
JournalAlarmTime=2010-01-28 200630After resetting my Regional Settings to English (via the Control Panel -- WinXP32-SP3 if it's important), deleting those lines from the INI, and trying again, it wrote out this:


[GameAssetDatabase]
JournalAlarmTime=1/28/2010 8:39:11 PMAnd didn't crash the next time I started it.

I'm having this exact same issue. The editor runs exactly once when I don't have the [GameAssetDatabase] entry. When I close it, it then adds that entry to the UTEditorUserSettings.ini file like this:


[GameAssetDatabase]
JournalAlarmTime=Sun 2 7 10:12:27 PM

And this makes it crash.

If I delete that entry, the editor loads up just fine, but then creates that entry again. Which leads it to crash again. What I've done to solve it is to change it to this:

[GameAssetDatabase]
JournalAlarmTime=

Essentially blanking it out, and then making the file read-only. This stops it from crashing, and stops it from re-creating that entry. But obviously that's not an ideal solution. Hopefully this can be fixed in some future version, as it seems very minor

Edit:
Forgot to mention, I'm on US Windows7 64 bit, running the UDK-2010-01 version.
