Hi @researchdeveloping! I wasn't able to reproduce this problem. Sometimes Advanced Settings might fail to open if the project build is out of sync with the enabled gems. Could you try recompiling and let me know if Advance Settings shows up?

This is a known issue. https://forums.awsgametech.com/t/project-configurator-advanced-settings-and-lyzard-exe-crash/7846/19

@AMZN-Gene it's not clear why some of you aren't reproducing it while a very significant portion of users are. I've did clean installs from 1.23.1 and updated all the executable using git_bootstrap and still lyzard crashes (which causes advanced settings not to show up). I've also did clean recompiles from default and empty templates. This is certainly a bug and not a user error.

Thanks for also linking the forum post as well. I'm going to try reproducing this from a fresh pc; it's possible my dev environment is saving me somehow. Sorry this has been happening all the way back since 1.21 for you :c Stay tuned!

Hi @AMZN-Gene I just reinstaled LY 1.23.1 from windows installer and rebuild all - unfortunatelly problem still exist on my side.

[AMZN-Gene]

Ah, so you're seeing the problem, not only with Git, but even when using the installer here: https://aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/downloads/ ?

[gitrndlab]

Yes, @AMZN-Gene the problem exists for git and windows installer versions.

So sorry to hear this is happening. If you open cmd inside dev\Bin64vc141
and run Lyzard.exe, do you get any useful output?
I noticed others mentioning Perforce in the forums, while I do get warnings about Perforce setup, Lyzard.exe still manages to stay alive.

[AMZN-Gene]

Going off the Perforce warning, I tried again after wiping Perforce and I can now reproduce the issue! Escalating this now to the Lyzard team... stay tuned!

Hello Amazon Team,i have this problem too.All other func are showin up but advanced settings -no.Win10.It's start since first launch i can't do it on default samples too.And i just recomp but still have this problem.

@CyberNoble thanks for the information. The crash seems tied to a problem with error/warning handling. People will typically see that crash when not having Perforce set up, not because of any Perforce issue, but rather the messaging system itself leads to the crash. In the meantime, if you're using the Advanced Settings to edit the System Entity properties a workaround might be to edit the desired values via C++ directly. Otherwise, if you'd like to edit the Memory Settings, you can do so by hand editing dev<your_project>\Config\Game.xml.
Sorry for the inconvenience, the team is now actively working on a fix.

Hello @AMZN-Gene, I am sorry for late answer, I just miss notification but as I see you get it and working on it :) Thank You! I am awaiting fig in upcoming release :)

[AMZN-Gene]

Absolutely! To be clear, it's likely this fix won't make it into the next release. Was editing the config XMLs a valid workaround in the short term?

This is fixed for me in 1.26.0.0
