4.24.3 crashing on start-up.

[LFA-GameplayMechanics]

Hi there,

I am trying to use 4.24.3 branch, however, after installing the folder plugins in my project, it crashes all the times. I can open my project only after having deleted the plugin.
I am not familiar with working with source code, thus I followed instructions in the YT tutorial

1. Create a project, open it and created a null c++ class with default values

• 1a. Added this extra step, I rebuild the project files for Development, Development Editor, and Shipping. Didn't make any difference.

2. Close the project, and Generate project files.
3. Add the plugin (three attempts: 1: project \plugins folder, 2. engine \plugins\ runtime folder, 3. engine\ marketplace plugins folder).

In all options, I can see the JoystickPlugin in the Project Plugins section as disabled. Once I enable it and restarted my project, the crashes happen. None of these options worked as for 4.24.3, in several brand new projects, but worked in the very first attempt for 4.23. Am I missing any critical installation step? Please let me know.
I am using Visual Studio Community 2017, Windows 10.

The crash message below is the same in all cases: for plugin installed in Engine\ Plugins\ Runtime folder OR in the project folder:

Unhandled Exception: 0xc06d007e
