Editor crashes onload unless I load it from Unreal Front End

[axelzellalex]

Cant remember when this began but it was a few days ago.

UDK loads fine from Front End

But when i load it from the shortcut in the start menu, it crashes just after the content browser has been rendered

- check your log for errors when you start the editor with the shortcut
- start it with admin rights
- do you have 32 or 64 bit?

ah interesting... 64bit from start menu.. 32 bit from Front End
it should be 64

Just create a shorcut to your 32 bit binary, which is located in Binaries/Win32, open it's properties and add "editor" to the end of the target path line. I realised that I had also run my UDK with 32 bit on a 64 bit windows ^^

but surely I want to build my levels in 64 UDK ?
it used to work..............
