4.1 Engine Scalability Settings "Auto" crashes editor

This is really weird, but the settings work every time fine except if I select Auto. If I select Auto it crashes Unreal Engine after turning Black. If I select any of the other settings (low, medium, high, and epic), they instantly make the changes and everything works fine.

Hi brucerick,

Well that certainly doesn’t sound like intended functionality! Can you please share the log that generates after this occurs? This is located at \projectname\saved\logs. Thank you!

I do get an error from my Nvidea driver though although I didn’t get a chance to write it down before it disappeared. It seems to be doing better now then it did when I had this problem a few hours ago. I got it to crash once but when I restarted it, the Auto select this time worked.

Hi brucerick,

It does say at the end that the editor timed out while waiting for the gpu to catch up. Could you post your dxdiag here so I can take a look? Also if this does happen again please post the logs from that as well so I can see what is going on. Thank you!

Hi brucerick,

we have not heard from you in quite some time. I am marking this as accepted for tracking purposes. However, if you are still experiencing this problem please post here with the requested information. Thank you!
