Sessions not getting marked as crashed

[gid-sentry]

Environment

How do you use Sentry?
Sentry SaaS (sentry.io)

Which version of the SDK? 0.15.1

How did you install the package? AssetStore

Steps to Reproduce

1. Record a Session
2. Crash it

Expected Result

Session appears in Sentry as crashed

Actual Result

Session appears in Sentry, but not as crashed. Crash makes it into Sentry though .

So I've tried setting this value Settings->EnableAutoSessionTracking = true; in USentrySettings . That didnt seem to do anythihng
And then I tried calling USentrySubsystem::StartSession();, which then does show up as a session in the dashboard. But then when I attempt to crash from that session, it still counts as successful. I made sure not to call USentrySubsystem::EndSession()
And then I tried "hack" the Sentry library code in SentrySubsystemDesktop::HandleBeforeSend code to call sentry_end_session_with_status with a crash status defined in sentry.h. This didnt seem to work either because I think HandleBeforeSend doesnt seem to be called..

@tustanivsky any idea what might be happening?

[tustanivsky]

Is this something that happens in UE older than 5.2? If so, we can't enable crashpad there due to the engine's limitations, and thus, there's no way to mark a session as crashed when the error occurs.

@tustanivsky is that somewhere on our docs? If not, we should add it. Probably here: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/unreal/configuration/releases/

Hi we are experiencing this issue as well. We are on Unreal 5.3 and are getting errors with crash_type: crash and we are still seeing 100% crash-free. We are using automatic session tracking, any ideas what to look at?

[strangezakary]

Looking more into this it doesn't look like sentry_end_session_with_status isnt called anywhere so how would it know if it crashed?

[tustanivsky]

@strangezakary Do you have Enable automatic crash capturing (Windows, UE 5.2+) option turned on in Sentry plugins settings?

[strangezakary]

@tustanivsky We do. I think the default is on

[strangezakary]

Actually it looks like we don't? Do we need this on?

[tustanivsky]

Yes, this has to be enabled. Basically, it allows you to utilize Sentry's native integration for capturing crashes instead of the engine's default error-handling mechanism and thus track session status properly.
