GPU Lightmass Watchdog – Automatically Detect Crashing Assets During Lightmap Baking
I’ve created a tool and video tutorial to help track down assets that cause crashes during GPU Lightmass warm-up in Unreal Engine 5. The Watchdog monitors the editor, restarts when needed, and isolates problematic assets automatically.
The tool is open source and available on GitHub:

You can also watch the full tutorial here:

This should be helpful for anyone working with large or complex scenes where Lightmass is unstable.
