Inputting tilde symbol (~) as blueprint's name causes the game to "freeze"

Post by LambdaVoid »

After inputting the tilde key (~) as the blueprint's name, the game froze. The vertical input bar in the input box was still blinking, so it hadn't frozen completely.
I input only the tilde key and nothing else, then tried to click the "Save blueprint" button, but nothing happened. No other button works either.

Works fine for me, post your log after a session with the issue and exact steps to reproduce it, see 52433.

I tested it; and when I pressed the key combination (shift + ~) it opened the discord overlay and when closing it the game was no longer responding to any inputs. So maybe it's related to that.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
