    Hey there!

    First of all thanks for making a new preview build available to us! Greatly appreciated!

    I decided to test the new runtime for a procedural voxel engine I am making, which makes heavy use of threading so it might be a nice test for the new runtime.

    However, when building the project to a windows x64 build, the build completes fine and all files appear, but when I try to launch the created executable it doesn't show anything. The windows cursor shows the 'loading' animation for a second, after which nothing happens. No opening window, no proces in task manager, nothing. Playing from within the editor seems to be working fine however.

    Am I missing something here?

    This should work (at least, it has worked in our testing). Can you try an empty project? Maybe there is something specific in your project causing a problem.

    Just tested an empty project. Seems to work fine. Should I file a bug report?

    Yes, please do so! This preview build should have the bug reporter working properly, so you can do it directly from the editor in the preview build. Thanks!

    I just tried rebuilding my project, the new build suddenly does work. I still filed a bug report however: Case 877447. Not sure what is happening here. I attached both builds to the bug report. Both builds should be built from the exact same configuration. I haven't changed any settings or code inbetween. I did switch project between the builds in order to test building an empty project.
